Brightness is no longer an issue either — the LED equivalents of 100W incandescent bulbs have been on the market for a long time. Color rendition is another problem that can be completely solved as early as 2017. Two years ago, the average color rendering index (CRI) was above 80.
Today, even some cheap lamps reach 90, and by autumn these values will become even higher. Thus, soon only the most trained eye will be able to distinguish the light of an LED lamp from a reference light source.
With the advent of autumn, daylight hours have subsided, and many people already turn on the lights in the house even in the late morning and in the afternoon starting at 4 pm, especially in cloudy weather. And this entails additional costs for electricity. Save on this budget item will allow LED lamps, which are already not expensive at all (especially from Chinese manufacturers) and last longer compared to economical gas lamps.
CHIP has rigorously tested hundreds of these devices in its lab and invites you to take a look at the leaders in our LED Lamp Rating.
