A Good Straightforward Guide To LED Grow Lights
Both fluorescent and HID lamps use noisy, very high voltage ballasts and require much sturdier mounting than lightweight, robust, low-voltage LED panels. Many people though are easily led astray by the fact that HID lamps "appear" to be very much brighter than led equivalents.
One of the biggest causes of confusion and disagreement in the world of grow lighting is the word "brightness". The problem is that we constantly use the word colloquially to describe how things "appear" to us - it's a bright sunny day, that bulb is a bit bright, etc. It is no way a scientific definition of light intensity - ... Introducing LED Kitchen Lighting
Simply replace existing halogen spotlights and under-cabinet lighting with equivalent LED light fittings. This is pretty much a matter of replacing existing 12v transformers with one (or more, depending on the number of lights involved) constant voltage 12v LED driver and then swapping out the halogen lamps for led equivalents. If using mains voltage lighting this is even easier as all that is required is to remove existing GU10 spotlights and replace them with GU10 LEDs.
Here's a handy checklist for what to look for when buying low energy light bulbs.
When installing ... Replacing Halogen Lamps With LED Spotlights
It is vital that any LED lights you consider are bright enough for the intended purpose. If you wish for example to replace 50w halogen lamps then you need to be considering at least 5w led equivalents. In other words, work on a rough ratio of ten to one. You wouldn't expect to replace a 50w bulb with a 15w one and get a satisfactory result, yet that seems to be exactly what many of those complaining in forums and review sites seem to have done ... What You Need To Know About Energy Saving Light Bulbs
Whereas CFL energy saving light bulbs have been readily available for a while and the cost is not eye-catchingly higher than for GLS light bulbs, LED lighting is not yet fully on stream and the cost uplift for an led equivalent (for example a 6w LED spotlight to replace a 50w halogen lamp) is still quite noticeable to most.
Of course, when out and about or online buying light bulbs most folk tend to notice the cost of the bulbs. What they don't instinctively grasp is that where the cost of domestic lighting is ...
