LED is the most efficient lighting source now available to consumers. A brand new LED desk light can be powered by as little as 3 watts of power and give you a warm, bright light for your office surface. However, when choosing an LED light, do not use wattage as your barometer for making your choice. You might think that the higher the wattage means the greater the light. That might be true for traditional "incandescent bulbs" but for LED lighting it is not the case. We all know the difference between a 60W, a 100W and a 200W incandescent bulb. LED lights are powered by chips and use so little wattage that to measure by this traditional method is irrelevant.
With LED lighting - the key measure for evaluating brightness is LUMENS, not wattage. The higher the Lumen number, the brighter the light. LED lighting is powered by "chips" and the quality of the chips being used will have direct effect on the Lumen output. The lenses used on top of the LED chips also play a big part in the light output. Therefore, more Watts does not mean more Light for LED.
So when you are looking into Lighting solutions for your office or desk - get the Lumen number, it's the 21st century method for evaluating light. The higher the number, the brighter the light.
The Future is LED:
- Emerging as mainstream option for Office lighting
- Lighting levels are now to the point where they are as bright as traditional methods of lighting
- Costs for LED are declining, meaning it is becoming more economical for consumers to make the switch
- The use of overall energy to power an LED light can be as much 90% less than traditional sources - meaning a lower cost on the monthly energy bills
- LED lights produce no Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, so therefore a healthier environment for all
