Light Bulbs: 3 things to consider before buying
When choosing light bulbs, it's essential to consider the type that best suits your needs. LED bulbs are energy-efficient and have a long lifespan, making them ideal for frequent use in areas like kitchens or living rooms. CFL bulbs offer a good balance between efficiency and cost but take a little time to reach full brightness. Halogen bulbs provide excellent color rendering, making them perfect for accent lighting. Evaluate where you'll use the light bulb to determine which type will work best for you.
Forget about watts when it comes to brightness; focus on lumens instead. Lumens measure the actual light output of a bulb. For a cozy bedroom atmosphere, you might prefer a bulb with around 450 lumens, while a workspace may require something closer to 800-1100 lumens. Always check the lumens on the packaging to ensure you're getting the right brightness level for your space.
The color temperature of light bulbs can dramatically affect the mood of your room. Measured in Kelvin (K), lower numbers like 2700K emit a warm, yellowish light suitable for relaxing spaces such as bedrooms or living rooms. Higher numbers like 5000K produce cool, bluish light that mimics daylight, ideal for task-oriented areas like home offices or kitchens. Consider how each room is used to select the appropriate color temperature.
