Stop Buying Bulbs Blindly! Master LED Selection in 3 Minutes (Save Money & Boost Comfort)

Walking into a store or shopping online for bulbs, seeing terms like "Lumens," "Color Temperature," "CRI," or "Watt Equivalent" on the packaging... is your head spinning? Choosing the wrong bulb isn't just a waste of money – the light could be too harsh, make colors look weird, or even strain your eyes!

Don't worry! This guide uses the simplest language to teach you how to pick the perfect LED bulb like a pro. Just remember these key points!

1. Brightness = Lumens, NOT Watts!

• Ditch the old idea: With old incandescent bulbs, higher Watts (W) meant brighter light. But we're in the LED era now! Watts only tell you about energy use. Lumens (lm) tell you the actual brightness!

• Simple rule: Higher Lumens = Brighter bulb! Want a brighter space? Pick a bulb with higher Lumens.

2. Light's "Personality" (Color Temperature): Sets the Room Mood

• Look for the "K" value (Kelvins): This number tells you if the light is warm/yellow or cool/white.

3. True Colors? (CRI - Color Rendering Index)

• What does it do? It measures how well the bulb shows the true colors of objects. Sunlight scores 100 (perfect).

• How to choose?

• For general home use: choose CRI > 80 – clothes and food look normal.

• For makeup, painting, or seeing fine details: you MUST choose CRI > 90 – ensures accurate lipstick shades and true paint colors.

4. 3 Simple Steps to Pick Your Bulb!

1. Set the Brightness: Ask what the room is for and pick the right Lumens.

2. Choose the "Personality": Pick the correct Color Temperature (K value).

3. Check the Base (Socket): Make sure the new bulb has the exact same base type (E27, E14, GU10, etc.).

You're Done! Remember:

• "Lumens = Brightness"

• "K value = Light Personality"

• "CRI > 80 for true colors"

• Match the socket

This guarantees bulbs that save you money and feel comfortable!
