The E27 lamp is one of the most common bulbs found in our homes. She is also known as Thomas Edison's light bulb. E27 refers to the cap or socket. The attachment to screw to your lighting fixture. This base is thus found in all the bulbs, only the shape of the luminaire or the bulb varies.

What does an E27 bulb look like?

If you imagine the shape of an incandescent bulb, you are on the right track. We can also find the shapes: pear, ball, globe, stick, candle, tubular, PAR, etc. They can be used in all rooms of the house, in hotels and restaurants. Thanks to LED technology, today we have a wide selection of retro LED bulbs or others with an E27 base. 

Environmentally friendly –

The E27 bulb is available in incandescent, halogen, or LED. Incandescent lamps are no longer produced, since with them only 5% of the energy used is converted into light. The average life is around 1000 hours (<1 year) and they contain toxic chemicals like mercury. LEDs do not contain toxic elements and have a lifespan of 15,000 - 50,000 hours (4-15 years).

Go to LED E27?

If you want to switch to the LED, it is important to know how much power your lamp has. Previously, the power was equal to visible light. With LEDs, it is more important to choose according to the amount of lumens. I

E27 bulbs are available in different color temperatures

The light color is measured in Kelvin and indicates the color temperature. It varies from a low color temperature, which has a warm, bright light with a lot of red; at a high color temperature, with a cold light that has a lot of blue. Incandescent technologies have a temperature of 2700K, a (very) warm white light.

Indeed, in these spaces, it is very common to find a lot of dust affecting the quality of the light. With regard to recessed lights, we suggest LED spotlights . These sources of light create a welcoming and modern atmosphere. These spots also diffuse a reliable light, united, consuming little energy. It is important to ensure that the amount of light emitted is sufficient. For example, in entries, a minimum of 50 lux is required. However, if there is activity in the building, make sure you have a minimum of 500 lux. For light in general, it is important to ensure...
