LED LAMPS as atmospheric lighting

16 March 2023 16:00
When it comes to choosing the RIGHT LIGHTING for your home, it is important to understand what factors affect the SENSE and FUNCTIONALITY of the room. One important factor is the WATTAGE and amount of LUMEN of the bulbs you use. Below you will find advice on what wattage and lumens are suitable for ambient lighting with LED lamps.

Wattage versus lumen

The wattage of a lamp refers to the amount of energy the lamp uses to burn. In the past, this was an important measure of lamp brightness, but with the advent of energy-efficient LED lamps, wattage has become less relevant. Instead, the amount of lumens a lamp produces has become more important. Lumen is the unit of brightness and refers to the amount of light emitted by a lamp. The higher the lumen count, the brighter the bulb is.

                     

Atmospheric lighting with LED lamps  

Ambient lighting is all about creating a warm, inviting atmosphere in your home. It is important to choose the right number of lumens for the room and the type of lighting you want to achieve. Generally, the fewer lumens a lamp has, the softer the light is. This can help create a relaxing and cosy atmosphere.

For mood lighting with LED bulbs, we usually recommend a lumen range of 200-400 lumens. This is enough to illuminate the room without being too bright. If you use a dimmer, you can also choose a bulb with a higher lumen count and dim it to adjust the brightness to the desired atmosphere.

                      

And also a common question: A 4-6-watt LED bulb is equivalent to a 40-watt incandescent bulb, while an 8-10-watt LED bulb is equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent bulb.
