Adopting to LED light saves electricity, money and extra maintenance cost too. This
happens only when you switch to High-Quality LED Lighting products only. Find out
which factors you should consider from Packaging Labels for getting best quality
Led light products from Market.
LED and CFL bulbs have revolutionized energy-efficient lighting. Even here you can
say that CFLs are a temporary solution to energy-efficient lighting, while long lasting,
durable, more efficient, eco-friendly LED lights are replacing incandescent bulbs
broadly. You can easily find out best quality Led light products in the market, simply
considering some important factors like power factor, light appearances, CRI, etc.
available on packaging labels. Get informed about such key factors in details here,
and select the best LED for the best result.

There are six factor you should consider to buy best quality LED light for any
application.
1. Lumens Per Watt
2. Power Factor
3. CRI (Colour Rendering Index)
4. Colour temperature
5. Heat sink
6. Life of LED Chip

2. Power Factor
Power factor is really a vital parameter to check quality of any electrical instrument.
Power Factor is the effective ratio of real power (used power at load) to apparent
power from your meter. Intelligent buyer is who not only check wattage of any LED
Light but who also check power factor with wattage.
Lets take a real example of 2 BHK Home. Total LED wattage for 2BHK Home is
around 120-150 Watt. Lights with high lumens can luminate your room around
120watt, but if you opted for quality LED Panel light then you need to go around 180http://www.ledlightsinindia.com/information/choosebestqualityledlights

200 watt. Lets assume general life of LED is 20,000 Hours. However there are LED
Lights available in market that give more than 50,000 hours of life warranty.

In simple example, if 7watt LED light packaging label shows 0.7 power factor then it
actually consume 10watt. In short, LED lights with power factor of 0.9 and above
are high in quality.
CRI may be new to youbut it is important one to consider if you are concerned
about the light sources ability to show object colors realistically or naturally. It
measures the effect a bulb has on the perceived color of objects based upon an ideal
or natural light source. For ex. it is indicator of how natural an objects color
appears when illuminated as blue looks blue or green; red looks red or purple; etc.
CRI is rated on a scale from 0 to 100 and only Sunlight is classified as having a CRI of
100. Colors look exactly like they should underneath a light scoring CRI of 100. So the
simple concept: the higher the CRI, the better colors will look and if the lower the
CRI, the worse colors will look.

4. Color temperature
LEDs are available in wide colour temperature range from 2800K to 6500K as
mentioned below.
Warm white: 2700K-3500K (dusk time yellow light)
Neutral white: 4000K-4500K (bright sun light little yellow)
Cool white: 5000K-6500K (pure white, cool day light)
In LED color temperature of around 2700K to 3300K gives same colour tone
(yellowish light) as conventional incandescent or halogen lamps.
Some local companies do not describe colour temperature specifications in Kelvin,
but they simply label them with Natural White or Office White. Branded
Companies always mention actual specifications so be sure that which colour
temperature you are selecting.

5. Heat sink
Dont forget that for LEDs to last a long time, they need a heat sink. Thats why LED
bulbs have metal fins that go down the side, making them look different than the
classic Edison-style bulb. Heat sink dissolves any excess heat and maintains the LEDs
at best operating temperature as well gives boost in terms of life to main LED chip.

sinkone of the reason I wanted Syska. However, Syska has an awful Lumens/watt,
couldnt believe it. Need to do a bit more research and math before settling on a
brand to replace my CFLs at home :)

Hi, Samrat
Thanks for your kind reply. We also have done comparison of top branded LED
bulbs: http://www.ledlightsinindia.com/information/indian-led-bulbs-comparison
If you are choosing SYSKA then you still have to think about it, because there are
also lots of good alternatives of it.

Very useful information for comparing LED bulbs. I want to buy LED panels for my
house to be installed in false ceiling. I want good quality but not so expensive ones,
as I need 400 panels, price matter much. Kindly suggest me with that. Thanks.

Hi, Aakash
Thanks for your opinion and keep connecting with us. Sorry but you havent
mentioned your budget.
I am never happy with the results of LED Panel light. You can go with downlight as
downlights are more effective and more power saver than panel light.
1. Panel light technology waste your LED output Lumens while downlight direct
reflect it to you. So downlight has 30% higher output.
2. Due to lower out out you have to select high watt panel light compared to
downlight.
3. If you are choosing higher watt then you are not smart saver in terms of
electricity.
4. Most important, LED used in downlights are more effective than panel light in
terms of life.

There is not any hard and fast rule to use cool white or warm white. But in my
opinion cool white is best for home and office for clear colour vision and
productivity.

Hi Maximilian,
One other reason is that western countries are used to yellow colored lighting in
homes too and they prefer yellow\warm white actually in homes too. My reasoning
for their liking of warm white or yellow light is that they get really cold weather
and sunshine is not there all through the year. So the warm light of a lamp is like
sunlight to them.
In India we moved away to tube lights, probably to save electricity, which are
usually cool white and we stuck with the same for CFLs too. Plus we have
abundance of sunlight and we would rather see something cool rather than warm
;-)

Does the THD of the LED bulb is important?. What is the normal THD of the LED
bulbs available in India.
Vijay
March14,2015at4:44am
THD is somehow similar to power-factor. Power factor corrected driver has better
THD.
There is no need to worry about THD & PF if energy consumption of your led
product is less than 15 watt. Because it costs more for small products compare to
saving of electricity.
It is hardly needed good THD(10%-25%) & PF(0.950-0.995) if energy consumption of
your led product is greater than 30 watt.

Variation of THD & PF depends on brand and watt of led bulb. However many of
them do not print THD on their product. But you can check Power Factor(PF) of this
product.
Bad THD products produce EMI to line and affecting other product.
Bad PF products takes more energy than the real usage of this product.

Can you please do a same article for T5 28 w tube light comparison, as I cannot
afford LED bulbs. Appreciate it. I need to buy T5s based on your reply for my new
apt. Thank You.

Hi,
I too have my own review site as given below:
http://factsoflight.zohosites.com/
But you have done an even better job I guess. I think you could also talk about IP
Rating and the L70 marking. These 2 points would be kind of value adds.
The Lumen Per Watt chart would do better to have Philips added to it.
Keep it going.

Hello,
Your site is very informativekeep up the good work. Can you please help me out. I
want to buy standard p4 LEDs with heat sink mounted. They should have very good
lumens/watt. I am based in Pune and I am starting my own business.
