Modern lighting systems are created on the basis of new lighting lamps instead of an obsolete incandescent lamp. The latter conscientiously worked out its century, but is still widespread and not discontinued. Experts believe that this is a matter of time, and soon it will finally go down in history, as it is being actively replaced by economical analogues: halogen, LED, fluorescent, metal halide and diode bulbs.
Lighting starts with a small LED
Oddly enough, but experts believe that it is diode technology that is the future of lighting systems, despite the fact that until recently, LEDs were not used for this purpose. The maximum, for which it was possible to use them, is for
decorative lighting devices
. But in recent years, the improvement in the production technology of diodes has significantly increased their technical capabilities, and now they began to shine brighter. This allowed us to create
diode bulbs that emit much more light compared to a conventional incandescent lamp at the same power. Initially, this was misleading to many consumers when they saw on the packaging the power of a 15-20 watt bulb, but in practice it turned out that with this power they shine even better than 100 watt incandescent bulbs.
The advantages of diode bulbs
Since the power of the diodes is small, the bulb as a whole consumes significantly less electricity. Its main advantage is profitability, and not only in the matter of consumed electricity, but also in the matter of the duration of work. The fact remains: the price for diode bulbs is much higher than for
incandescent bulbs (ranges from 180-300 rubles), but they last 40 times longer than the last ones. Consequently, they have to be bought much less often. In addition, such bulbs are actively involved in interior decoration. Their soft
white light creates an atmosphere of comfort, especially when they are used as decorative lighting.
What bulbs to buy for the house
Since diode bulbs are a relative innovation in the field of lighting, not all manufacturers managed to establish their production, but nevertheless, the choice on the market is already quite wide. Undoubtedly, one of the leaders is Philips, which has long won a worldwide reputation not only in the direction of lighting. Economical bulbs of other types of earlier designs last for years and even continue to operate beyond their resources. Now the company is promoting LED products to the market, and quite successfully, as these are the best diode bulbs for the home. Prices, of course, leave much to be desired and range from 300 to 400 rubles per light bulb, but this cost is justified by their quality.
Among other manufacturers whose products are well suited for home use, Osram, Magnum, Delux can be distinguished. Of course, it is difficult to determine whose products are better, because everything is known in comparison. Therefore, to determine which diode bulbs last longer, you need to purchase one from each manufacturer, and only time will tell which company has the most durable products.
