Buying Guide
What to compare when choosing daylight LED bulbs
- Brightness and efficiency: Look for lumens (brightness) and watts (energy use). Higher lumens with lower watts mean better efficiency.
- Color temperature: Daylight bulbs typically range around 5000K. This produces a cool, white light suited for task accuracy and color perception.
- CRI: A high Color Rendering Index (CRI) around 80+ indicates colors appear more natural under the light.
- Base compatibility: Most A19 bulbs use E26 bases in the US. Confirm base type before purchasing for your fixtures.
- Non-dimmable vs. dimmable: If your space uses dimmers, choose dimmable bulbs or install compatible dimmers.
- Lifespan and warranty: Longer lifespans mean fewer replacements. Check for UL or ETL listings for safety guarantees.
- Pack size and compatibility: Larger packs lower per-bulb cost but require adequate storage. Ensure voltage and fixture compatibility with your setup.
