LED lamps are finding more and more applications in the domestic and industrial sectors. They have a number of advantages over traditional incandescent and fluorescent lighting fixtures. The main reasons for popularity among Russian consumers were economical consumption of electricity and a long service life. Therefore, users quickly calculated the benefits of using LEDs when long-term illumination of the premises is required (shops, greenhouses, night lighting). Today, products of foreign and domestic brands are widely represented on the Russian market. To make the right choice, a potential buyer should get acquainted with the recommendations of our experts.

Recommendations for selection

Power. Many users are accustomed to buying lighting lamps based on such a parameter as power. However, in the case of LED devices, this indicator is not decisive. It only shows how much electricity the light bulb will consume per hour. Therefore, many manufacturers indicate the equivalent of an incandescent lamp on the packaging. For example, many 6W LEDs light up about the same as 40W incandescent bulbs.

Light flow. Choosing an LED bulb for brightness helps such an indicator as the luminous flux. The unit of measure is lumen (lm). For example, an LED with a brightness of 600 lumens is analogous to a 60-watt incandescent lamp.

Colorful temperature. With the advent of fluorescent and LED lamps, another important characteristic has appeared in our life. The color temperature, in fact, digitally shows what shade the light output will have. It is expressed in Kelvin (K).

1. The warmest color, which is as close as possible to the old incandescent lamps, are LEDs with temperatures up to 2800K.

2. Light yellowness in the light is given out by light bulbs with a value of about 3000 K.

3. Neutral white color is typical for LED bulbs with a color temperature of 4000 K.

4. The coldest light with blueness is demonstrated by lighting devices with a temperature of 5000 K.

Color rendering index. LED lamps give out a different spectrum, which can distort the real color of objects. Therefore, manufacturers indicate the color rendering index, evaluating this parameter on a 100-point system. The higher the index, the more accurate the color of the illuminated objects will look. A color rendering index of more than 80 is considered optimal.

Ripple factor. LED lamps are distinguished by another important parameter that affects eye fatigue. This is the ripple factor. It is enough to conduct a simple test of your lamps using a camera or smartphone camera, pointing the lens at a burning lamp to determine if there is flickering or not. In digital terms, LEDs with a pulsation rate of up to 5% are considered the highest quality and safest.

We have selected 13 of the best manufacturers of LED light bulbs for our review. All of them sell their products in Russian stores. When distributing places, the editors of the magazine simplerule relied on the opinion of the expert community, taking into account the feedback from domestic users.
