All About LED Lighting: The Ultimate Guide
Share
At Glow Co., we believe in offering lighting solutions that combine cutting-edge technology with practical benefits, which is why all our ring lights and lighting products are powered by LEDs. But what makes LED lighting so special? Why do we use it, and why should it be your top choice?
Let’s dive in and find out!
What is LED Lighting?
LED stands for Light Emitting Diode—a revolutionary lighting technology that has reshaped how we illuminate our spaces. LEDs are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and deliver superior light quality compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. Whether you're a makeup artist, content creator, or just someone who loves great lighting, LEDs are a game-changer.
Why Choose LED Lighting?
Here are just a few reasons LED lights stand out:
1. Incredible Lifespan
LEDs last up to 50,000 hours! That means even if you used your LED light for 10 hours every day, it would take almost 14 years before the light needs replacing. Compare that to traditional bulbs that last just 1,000–2,000 hours, and the difference is clear.
2. Energy Efficiency
LEDs are directional, meaning they focus light exactly where you need it without wasting energy. They use significantly less electricity and generate far less heat, making them not only energy-efficient but safer as well.
3. Cost Savings
Using less energy and lasting longer translates into big savings over time. LEDs might have a higher upfront cost, but their efficiency and longevity more than make up for it.
LED Lighting 101: Understanding Key Terms
When shopping for LED lighting, you’ll come across terms like Lumens, Kelvins, and Watts. Here’s a quick breakdown:
What are Lumens?
Lumens measure brightness. The higher the Lumens, the brighter the light. When choosing LEDs, focus on Lumens instead of Watts for a better understanding of the light output.
What are Kelvins?
Kelvin measures the colour temperature of light.
- Warm light (lower Kelvin numbers, ~2700K-3000K): Soft and cozy, perfect for flattering skin tones.
- Cool light (higher Kelvin numbers, ~5000K-6500K): Crisp and bright, ideal for tasks requiring clarity, like makeup application or photography.
Most of our products include Kelvin controls, allowing you to easily switch between warm, neutral, and cool tones for any situation.
What about Watts?
Watts measure energy consumption, not brightness. Unlike traditional bulbs, where higher Watts meant brighter light, LEDs are much more efficient. A 9-Watt LED can be brighter than a 12-Watt LED from another brand. Focus on Lumens for brightness and choose lower-Watt LEDs for better energy savings.
