LED light bulbs vs flourescent light bulbs - electric consumption

[oj88]

By rough estimation, the regular savings I get is enough to pay for up to two LED bulbs every month. At this rate, my ROI will likely be less than 1 year for all the 18 LED bulbs of various wattages I've deployed around the house.

Another thing I noticed is that LED bulbs, at least from the two brands I tried: NxLED and GES, provides better contrast overall. No overtones compared to older generation LEDs (which emits a blue hue).

CFLs on the other hand, as with all fluorescent lighting, gives off a greenish hue. Our brain automatically adjusts for white balance so we don't quite notice it. But it's there nevertheless, affecting clarity and contrast. This hue can only be captured on camera.

all 18 LEDs are on 24/7 sir?

i already have 5 7watters at home now. im looking for 5watter naman to replace the 9w CFL namin sa room.

Guys okay ba GES na brand? La yung Phillips eh or GE sana. Yung mga kilala.

RT, gamit ko 1 GES and NXLed, tapos galing china yung iba. a lot cheaper yung galing china. same brightness compared to the ones locally sold. important is yung lumens/watt. i'd rather get GES or NXLed kasi mas mataas yung lumens/watt niya. and 5 years warranty na din.

Thanks a lot CB. hehe

GES ang mga LEDs ko na ginagamit ko. Nagtataka lang ako may pumapasok na insect sa loob. I have yet to dismanttle it see how to remedy it.

Nope. I use them in bedrooms, the living room, dining room, toilets, foyer, and stairs. Duty cycle is probably in the area of 30-40%.

Ok kaya ang CDRking LED bulbs? meron na ba naka try nito?

[Retz]

may nag offer sa akin sa korea ung raonlux. typically 3-5 years ung lifespan daw ng LED. may sinasabi sa akin nung owner na ung inverter lifespan inside ng LED bulb ay 3-5 years but typically the LED bulb could last much much longer.

I bought a couple of the LED bulbs from CDRKING... (the ones NOT branded as CDRKING, just sold there). So far, a few weeks in, they are still okay.

thanks GH! will try to buy and test them.

I don't know If you share the same perception as mine, ung mga high powered LED lamps, I noticed, maliwanag sila but hindi malayo ung distance ng liwanag as compared to conventional metal halide lamps (floodlights).

Just bought another led light, GES na 4w ung binili ko ilalagay ko lang sa altar, angtaas na kasi lagi ng kuryente namin.

Perception. Tiny LED bulb with the same lumens as a bigger halogen bulb will look brighter if you look straight at it. But the light output will be the same om surfaces it's pointed at.

Directional kasi ang bato ng ilaw ng led kaya ganun

Bought 2 GES Led lights. 8-10 hours per day gamit, mga 6 months bawi na. P723 yung 9W(810lumnes) at P515 yung 5.5W(470lumens).

Mababa lumens rating nila pero maliwanag talaga. Parang hindi kapani-paniwala tuloy yung ratings ng DOE na yellow sticker na nakalagay sa mga CFL dito sa atin esp Firefly at Focus.

The 9w GES LED din ang gamit ko.

Sir RY, frosted ung bulb?

Sir RY, frosted ung bulb?

Frosted siya pero ang lakas pa din, mahirap tignan directly.

[Horsepower]

probably to better distribute the illumination.
