LED Light Bulbs

Benefits of LED Lights

LED light bulbs can save you money not only because they are roughly 80 percent more energy efficient than other bulbs, they also produce far less heat than metal halides, CFLs, and incandescent light bulbs. Upgrading to LED lighting means you wont spend your summer months cooling down rooms that your light bulbs are busy heating up. While originally a cooler blue tone than incandescent bulbs, LEDs now come in daylight and warm white color temperatures so you can more easily replace your existing bulbs without altering the color of your room. Visit our Lighting Guide to see what difference color temperature makes. LED lighting also offers a superior color rendering index (CRI), so you can see the colors of your artwork or makeup more accurately.

LED replacement bulbs are durable and ecologically friendly. Did you know you can recycle LED bulbs and reduce your carbon footprint up to one third? LEDs outlast the competition, staying bright for up to 11 years of continuous operation. This means less time climbing ladders trying to replace those hard to reach bulbs in vaulted ceilings.

LEDs are one of todays most promising technologies.

LEDs or Fluorescents - Which is More Efficient?

LED light bulbs for the win! When it comes to purchasing energy-efficient lighting, LEDs surpass CFLs by a wide margin. LEDs are instant-start with no warmup time needed. They work well in cold weather, and are substantially more durable since manufactured out of plastic instead of glass. From standard bulbs to fluorescent tubes, LEDs can replicate the same lighting conditions found in fluorescents while lasting longer and using less energy. As an added bonus, all LEDs are RoHS compliant and do not use mercury, a claim that cant be made by fluorescent bulbs.

BR30 LED Light Bulbs

Color Temperature of LED R30 and BR30 Bulbs

These LED BR30 bulbs are a replacement for incandescent and CFL reflector bulbs and are available in a range of color temperatures, which affects how warm or cool a space looks. The lower the Kelvin (K) number, the warmer (more yellow or orange) the light output; the higher the number, the more blue the light looks. If youre trying to match the look of incandescent bulbs, the 2700K category is the closest. For a brighter white or task lighting applications, consider 4000K and above. You can see how the different Kelvin temperatures look in a kitchen using our interactive Lighting Guide.

Where to use LED BR30 and R30 Bulbs

Because LEDs are naturally directional, they dont have the extra internal reflector that their predecessors used to push additional light outward. They are commonly used in track lighting, recessed can lights, and as outdoor flood lights if they are wet-location rated. While BR20 bulbs are likely to have a narrower beam angle, the BR30 bulbs offer more versatility. Commonly, BR30s have a 120-degree beam angle, but you can find spot lights available without having to switch to a smaller sized bulb. With the broad beam spread, LED BR30 bulbs are a good choice for wall washing or wall grazing techniques. Wall washing spreads the light uniformly along the whole wall from top to bottom for an even illumination. Its a popular technique for art galleries and museums. Wall grazing is used to accentuate textured surfaces. It creates exaggerated and pronounced shadows on stone columns, brick, and other surfaces to give the space a more dramatic look.

Depending on your application, you may want bulbs with a high color rendering index (CRI). This means the LED is better at bringing out the true colors of an object and is most noticeable on reds and skin tones. For example, you may want to use high CRI BR30 bulbs in track lighting for a wall of artwork, but wouldnt need it when wall grazing stonework.
