| The globe LED lights differ from the typical LED fixture lighting only aesthetically in that the LEDs are being covered with a globe shaped casing. These energy efficient lights are available in natural white, warm white, cool white, and dimmable. |
The A19 LED light is not only more energy efficient than an incandescent, allowing between 80%-90% in energy savings, but has been proven to last as much as 10 times longer than a compact fluorescent bulb, far outlasting an incandescent equivalent by far. In addition, the LED light does not get particularly hot, as it generally creates 3.4 btu’s per hour, while the incandescent lighting produces 85. As a result, LED globe lights do not distribute as much heat to surrounding areas.
Similar to other types of lighting, the LED A19 bulb is available in a variety of wattages and colors. The wattage system used for LED A19 bulbs differs from that of the standard incandescent bulb. LED fixture lighting with a marking of 3W actually has the equivalent light output of a 45W incandescent. Whether you are choosing an LED light replacement or changing LED lights, be sure to understand exactly what your needs are when acquiring one of these bulbs.
