Buying Light Bulbs

People, kitambo buying light bulbs was a simple affair. 40W, 60W and 100W. And they were all yellow lights. If you wanted white light you’d go for the long tube.

I was at the supermarket the other day and I got confused with these LED things. 3W, 5W etc etc ranging from 150 to 400 bob.

I want white light and the bedroom bulb should be as dim as possible.

Can anyone advice me on the key attributes to check before buying?

White light and dim don’t go together. Nilibuy bulb za 3W and 5W and they is bright like no one’s business. Get a shade for the bulb.

bedroom bulb or housel hold bulbs except reading lights should have a diffuser to disperse light

The white light is Day light, while the other is Warm white

The one that produces white light like the ordinary florescent tube is called day light…
The one that produces orange or yellowish type of light is warm white…
There are bulbs which can be dimmed others can’t mostly the down lighters…but they can only be dimmed by a dimmer switch not the ordinary switch…
The brightness depends on the wattage and type of lamp or bulb…

Nunua torch bro!

Our place is cold at night most of the time and I still buy the filament bulbs with orange light since they warm up the house

Don’t buy white lights(daylight) bulbs for indoor use. They affect you and your kids sleeping patterns plus they are very harsh.

Well, it will be quite difficult for you to pick up light bulbs with such parameters. As a rule, ordinary light bulbs from a regular store cannot be adjusted and given the desired color. Nevertheless, I perfectly understand you and understand that the lighting in the house should not be annoying. For my home, I ordered a [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]smart bulb that can be adjusted. It’s just amazing stuff. Now, lying on the couch, I can use my phone to adjust the brightness, light intensity, and much more. This is the perfect invention for the lazy and those who want comfort. You can try to order such bulbs.
