Energy-saving bulbs: which ones replace which standard bulbs?
A common prejudice against energy saving bulbs is that they are not as bright as the "conventional" ones. That's not true, as long as you stick to the following table during the "conversion" (I've already posted that before, but as a tip of your own, you'll find it easier):
(This bulb will be replaced by this energy saving bulb)
15 watts: 3-5 watts, 90 lumens
40 watts: 7-9 watts, 400 lumens
60 watts: 11-13 watts, 700 lumens
75 watts: 15-18 watts, 900 lumens
100 watts: 20 watts, 1,400 lumens
To lower the buy-inhibit threshold of those who may be thinking of the current cash position rather than the long-term sustainability effect:
I buy my ESPs in the discounter, where they are there every half a year as promotional items (between 1.79 and 3.79 euros). And to avoid an objection: Yes, even my electrician says, the things of A *** and Co. were quickly broken. It may be, but then it is still to come: salvation, they are still all, and the oldest hold for over three years ...
One disadvantage is that some discounters do not write on the package, whether their lamp exudes "daylight" (cold, bluish, good for office space) or "warm" light (for living spaces).
In the worst case, screw such a thing in the evening comfortably in the bedside lamp, snaps on and suddenly feels like the dentist ... :-) But why is there a right of exchange ...
