Energy efficiency classes
Energy efficiency should be easy to understand so you can make the right choices. This represents the energy efficiency class. From March 1, 2021, new energy labels will be effective, eliminating the ambiguous classes A+, A++, A+++ and more accurately evaluating all light sources.
Bulb life
The lifetime of a light source characterizes the number of hours of illumination expected from the light source. For example, an LED lamp with a lifespan of 25,000 hours can last over 10 years when used for 6 hours a day . Considering this metric saves new acquisition costs and reduces waste.
Socket and Caps
All classic lamps have sockets (E27, E14, GU10, etc.). All you have to do is choose a lamp with a suitable base to operate the lamp. The base makes mechanical and electrical contact with the socket and is part of the bulb. You can easily insert the LED bulb by choosing the base that matches the socket or by changing the socket as you see fit.
How to save energy at home?
You can start saving light right in your home with new, more energy-efficient bulbs that fit traditional sockets. If you are also looking for new lighting, such as a pendant light in your dining room, choose a fixture with LED permanent lighting technology. Also, if you are remodeling your home, you can consult a lighting designer. With the correct socket placement, you can adapt your lighting plan to your needs and make it more efficient.
