How to choose the correct LED bulb

Ecological advantages, energy savings, and cost savings switching to LED is the solution!

Investing in efficient resources in terms of energy saving, from being a simple idea is turning into a real lifestyle. "Going Green" is not a walk, on the contrary. It involves dedication and commitment, sometimes even an economic outlay that we don't always include in the priority list. However, there is a solution, today one of the most common, to adopt an ecological line that helps us to amortize expenses without investing all our assets: switch to LED.

How can the correct LED alternative be chosen

To begin with, the first step is to see if the attack of our traditional light bulb exists with LEDs. The new lighting technology covers most of the attack spectrum, or at least the most common. If the attack exists, it is often enough to remove the traditional incandescent, halogen or fluorescent bulb and install the new LED product.

How to switch from neon to LED tubes

To replace the fluorescent tubes (G13 attack), the speech is a bit more complicated. You need to check what type of reactor you have, whether electronic or conventional. If you have a conventional ballast you need to install the LED tube with a new starter. In the case of electronic ballast, the Instant fit tube, for example, can be installed without the need for a starter. In both cases, the replacement is quick and effective. When you have found the LED bulb with the compatible mount, it is important to check the wattage, or the nominal power required by the bulb to produce light. On the product description, you will find two numbers preceding the "W", a wattage symbol. The first number is the consumption of the LED bulb. The second number refers to the power of the equivalent incandescent lamp to be replaced. Find out more about how to install LED tubes on old installations here.

How to switch from energy-saving lamps to LED ones

If you have installed energy-saving light bulbs and want to switch to LEDs, the previous comparison of wattages is not the criterion to follow. It is advisable to check the luminous flux to maintain the same light you are benefiting from. Energy-saving lamps are already much more efficient than old technologies. For this reason, the power difference must not be too large. The consumption generated by the LED will still be lower and you can enjoy a longer life of the product that will allow you to replace the bulb less frequently. Furthermore, the ignition will be immediate, not gradual like that of energy-saving products.

Ecological

lighting LED lighting can be recycled and does not contain substances that are harmful to our body and the environment!

How to switch from halogen spotlights to LED ones

Some LED lamps work at 12Volt - the standard voltage is 220-240Volt - and they need a transformer. For example, spotlights with a GU5.3 socket. However, even the halogen spotlights with the same attachment work at 12Volt. For this reason, the transformer should already be installed and is also compatible with the LED alternative. Also in this case, therefore, switching to LED is carried out with the mere replacement of the bulb.

What if I can't find my light bulb attack

If the attachment of your traditional light bulb does not exist, then it is necessary to change the ceiling light. the cost is higher than an LED bulb but the benefits are always excellent: reduction of energy consumption and consequently of costs in the bill, very long product life (even 10 times longer than halogen or incandescent lamps), the guarantee to adopt an ecological line to improve your environment and respect our planet.

How to switch to LED with 60x60 ceiling lights

 How to switch to LED with 60x60 ceiling lights Why replace the old 60x60cm ceiling lights Today switching from traditional lighting technologies to LED solutions is very easy. For many cases, it is sufficient to simply replace the lamp that is currently installed with the new LED alternative. This applies to the classic incandescent, halogen, spotlight bulbs, for most fluorescent tubes. Most of it? Yes, because there is a particular case in which the transition to the new technology is not so immediate. We are talking about the case in which the fluorescent tubes are installed in 60x60 ceiling lights, or ceiling lights that house 4 T8 18W neon tubes 60cm long. Offices, hospitals, public buildings are the places that make the most of this lighting solution. And considering that these buildings keep the lighting running for several hours a day, energy consumption sometimes skyrockets. For this reason, the transition to innovative LED technology is increasingly considered. How ...

How to install LED tubes in an existing system

How to install LED tubes in an existing system Are you using T8 fluorescent tubes and want to replace them with LED tubes, but you don't know how to proceed? Here's how! Real and significant energy savings Investing in efficient resources in terms of energy saving is moving from being a simple idea to a real lifestyle. One of the most adopted solutions to reduce consumption and costs is the possibility of installing LED lighting in your own environment. But if for many cases the transition to the new technology takes place through the simple and rapid replacement of the bulb, to replace the fluorescent tubes an important detail must be considered: is your ballast electronic or conventional? How to install LED tubes in fixtures with conventional drivers If your current lighting system works with a conventional or ferromagnetic ballast, then the replacement is very simple. The procedure is as follows: 1. Buy LED tubes with starter included 2. Remove the fluorescent tu...
