Speak of IKEA 1000Lm LED lighting engineering parameter evaluation

Low cost LEDare bulb LED IKEA launched last year impressed us, since this year, the Swedish retail giant is expanding Ledare series, change shape and size, with larger and more light bulbs, luminous flux of 1000 lumens, $11.

Score: 7 points, 9 points, the value of design performance of 7.5 points, 7.8 points overall

MSRP: $10.99

Advantages: 1000lm LED provides Ledare color quality excellent, and compared closer to the 75W equivalent LED bulb price advantage.

Disadvantages: low efficiency slightly, no warranty.

General: compared to last year launched a less competitive version of 600LM, 1000lm Ledare LED is very good in some function. If you are looking for a light bulb in between 60W and 75W levels, it is worth buying.

1000 lumens is a "cunning" figure, equivalent to 60W light bulbs you would expect in the 800 to 900 lumens, equivalent to 75W in about 1100 lumens, and the lamp is between the two, the former more than delivery lumens, provide higher quality color than the latter, color rendering was nearly 90, significantly 80 better than the average LED bulb. If you think 800 lumens is not bright enough, and replace the 75W and not affordable, so 1000lm Ledare may be just what you need.

IKEA 13W, 1000lm version of the Ledare LED last year launched 10W, 600LM version is slightly big, still is the typical traditional style lighting, bulb matte design, this is not a bad thing, the test than the 600LM version of the brighter colors and better quality.

From the table we can see that, compared to other products in the equivalent 60W, efficiency is only 74 lumens per watt, and compared with the equivalent 60W products of OSRAM and PHILPS, to produce electricity 50 cents per year, or 50 cents a few, but if the total home use 20~30 light bulbs is not a small cost. In the United States, the incandescent lamp of a 75W of about $9 per year of electricity, in fact 1000L Ledare one and a half years to recover the cost.

And compared to the equivalent of 75W products, the brightness is at the bottom, and not the energy star certified products, only a product warranty.

But from the above two tables can also be seen, the color index 1000lm Ledare scored 90, which is quite remarkable. Compared with the equivalent of 60W, high brightness, high color rendering index; compared with the equivalent of 75W, high color index, low price.
