LED lamps for chandeliers

Recently, LED bulbs have become increasingly popular. They allow you to save electricity, as well as create a light of any intensity and heat in the room.

Chandelier LED lamps are special lamps in which alternating current is converted to direct current. The intensity of the luminous flux depends on the voltage - the higher it is, the brighter the lamp will be. Due to this principle of operation, electricity is significantly saved, and hence, money.

Distinctive features of such lamps is not only the principle of their work, but also a wide range. The fact is that chandeliers use a variety of base / plinths and therefore these bulbs must be selected according to their size.

Another feature is that the lighting power of such devices is classified differently from conventional light bulbs, it has different meanings.So, if a standard incandescent lamp has a power of 90-100 watts, then the LED lamp will have a power of 9-15 watts. The savings here are obvious. In this case, you do not have to worry about the fact that the room will be too dark.

The features include the type of light emitted by such a device. It may be warm, with intense yellow color; calm, in this case, the light from the bulb will be as close as possible to daylight and cold, almost white. This range allows you to ideally choose the lighting option for any room, depending on its purpose.

In addition, these bulbs are actively used instead of incandescent bulbs also because they glow after switching off for some time. It also saves electricity and uses an extra light source.

Do not forget about the wide range. On sale you can see small bulbs, large or medium.Some manufacturers produce these devices for sale, intended for various types of chandeliers. This is due to the material of manufacture. So, for crystal chandeliers it is best to use small lamps with a cold glow.

Their advantage lies in the fact that they are already implemented in finished form and the buyer will not have to purchase additional lamps. Replacing them in the event of a burnout will also be quite easy, because the necessary type of device you will already have on hand.

The fact that it is a wide range is one of the key features of these products has already been said. However, all LED lamps are divided into several groups depending on the specific criterion.

According to the criterion of shape and size, light bulbs can have a standard shape, that is, their appearance is most similar to ordinary incandescent bulbs. They may also have an elongated drop-shaped form, and they may also have the shape of a spiral that extends upward. Some manufacturers offer consumers and light bulbs are not quite the usual standard form, for example,with a narrow drop elongated at the top.

One of the main selection criteria is the intensity of the light flux. The power of LED bulbs sold today may be as follows:

1. 5.5 watts is equal to a 25 watt incandescent lamp power.
2. 8 watts are 40 watts.
3. 11 watts in LED is 60 in normal.
4. 15 W is about 70-90 W in the incandescent lamp.

Separation by type of cap considered the most important. GoAccording to this criterion, the bases of such devices can be of the following types:

• G9 - pin base. Lamps with him were created specifically to replace with their help the usual halogen. Such a base does not cause any inconvenience both during its installation and during further operation.
• E27 - This is a classic carved version. These bulbs are suitable for any type of modern chandeliers and lamps. They are most often found on sale.
• G4 - This is a base for small lamps. Until recently, this option was used only to highlight some things, today it is used in chandeliers and compact lamps.Its distinctive feature is the presence of two antennae at the end.
• E14 - it is also E27, but of smaller diameter. Most often found in such lamps for chandeliers as a candle or a “minion”.
• GU10 - this version of the base is used either in spotlights or in small compact chandeliers designed for several small LED lamps.
• GU5.3 - This version of the base is used most often in chandeliers. It has two pins on the end and does not require any modifications before installation.

This division into varieties of LED lamps for chandeliers is very convenient for more experienced buyers who are already intimately familiar with them.

If you decide to change your usual light bulbs to LED lamps, then before you buy It is advisable to read the following recommendations for their choice:

• Power in watts. The darker the room itself and the less sources of natural light it has, the more powerful the lamp should be. Usually, 6-8 W bulbs are used for home chandeliers if they are made of crystal or clear glass and 11 W power, if the chandelier itself is dark or has a lot of decoration on its glass.
• Light bulb is selected depending on personal preference. However, experts all recommend to give preference to models with natural warm light. It is he who creates the radiation as close as possible to daylight.

• It is worth knowing that if the glass of the lamp itself is frosted, the intensity of the glow will be visually lower by 20%. Therefore, such products should have more power.
• The base should be chosen depending on the type of cartridge in the chandelier itself. It should ideally repeat its shape, otherwise it will not be possible to install the acquired lamp into it.
• LED lamps are more expensive than conventional incandescent or halogen lamps, while the manufacturer promises their life to 15 years. But you should pay attention to the warranty period. The higher it is, the better the product will be.
