Engineering parameters talking about IKEA 1000Lm LED bulb evaluation

IKEA's low cost LEDare LED last year impressed us. This year, the Swedish retailer is expanding the Ledare series, changing shapes and sizes, offering bigger, brighter bulbs, 1000 lump light, and $11.

Score: Design 7 points, value 9 points, performance 7.5 points, comprehensive 7.8 points

Retail price: $10.99

Advantages: 1000lm Ledare LED provides excellent light color quality and is superior to the closer 75W equivalent LED bulb.

Shortcomings: low efficiency, no warranty period.

Synthesis: 1000lm Ledare LED is excellent in some functions compared to the less competitive version of 600LM launched last year. If you want to find a light bulb between 60W and 75W levels, this is worth buying.

1000 lumen is a more "cunning" number, 60W equivalent bulb you will expect from 800 to 900 lumens, 75W equivalent in 1100 lumens, and this lamp is somewhere between the two, more lumen than the former, higher color quality than the latter, color rendering score close to 90, obviously more than the average LED bulb 8 0 better. If you think 800 lumens are not bright enough, and replacing 75W is not good enough, then 1000lm Ledare may be exactly what you need.

IKEA 13W, 1000lm version of Ledare LED than last year's 10W, 600LM version is slightly larger, is still a typical traditional light bulb style, bubble shell for grinding design, this is not a bad thing, the test is slightly brighter than the 600LM version, the color quality is better.

It can be seen from the table that the efficiency of other products compared to the equivalent 60W is only 74 lumens per watt, and the equivalent 60W products of OSRAM and PHILPS are more than 50 cents a year, perhaps 50 cents a little more, but if the 20~30 bulbs used in the family are not small. In the United States, an 75W incandescent lamp is about $9 a year, and it can take 1000L Ledare a year and a half to take back the cost.

Compared to the equivalent 75W, the brightness is at the end, not the energy star certified product, and the only one without a warranty.

But from the above two table, it can be seen that the color index of the 1000lm Ledare has taken 90, which is quite excellent. Compared with the equivalent 60W, the color rendering index is high and the brightness is high. Compared with the equivalent 75W, the color rendering index is high and the price is low.
