Engineering parameters speak IKEA 1000Lm LED bulb 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: Design 7 points, the value of 9 points, performance of 7.5 points, a total of 7.8 points

Suggested retail price: $10.99

Advantages: 1000lm Ledare LED offers excellent light quality, and has the advantage of being closer to the 75W equivalent LED bulb price.

Disadvantages: low efficiency, no warranty period.

Comprehensive: compared to last year's launch of less competitive 600LM version, 1000lm Ledare LED features in some very good. If you want to find a light bulb between 60W and 75W, it's 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 feel that 800 lumens are not bright enough, and the replacement of 75W is not enough, then 1000lm Ledare may be exactly 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, a 75W incandescent about $9 a year electricity, in fact, choose 1000L Ledare a year and a half 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 rendering index of the 1000lm Ledare scored 90, which is quite good. 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.
