"The equivalent wattage between LED bulbs and halogen bulbs"
"LED: Halogen=1:10"

1. As the innovation and development technology has become more and more creative, to choose the best light, is becoming a confusing thing. When you face hundreds and hundreds lights, how to choose the one I want and what is the best solution for my application? When people compare halogen bulbs and LED lights, most people know that LEDs are more energy efficient, have a longer lifespan, but are more expensive than halogen bulbs. But when you read the form as below then i'm not sure you still think the same.
Halogen bulbs include traces of halogen in their fill gas. It helps deposit evaporated tungsten back to the filament which makes the bulb last longer. LED lights are small but can be clustered together to broaden their applications.
The function of LED light produces lights when an electrical current flows in an arc pattern between two electrodes. Halogen lights produce light by heating up a tungsten filament.

2. Comparison of LED lights versus Halogen lights regarding consumption, Performance (Lumen), Durability, Costs. During the average lifespan, 30 000 hours, of a LED light, you can save almost 3000$.


3. There are people who purchase a light are mostly considering about the wattage first. Usually they think if the wattage is high, then it will cost low or even better lighting conditions. Actually it's not exactly. For example when a halogen bulb's wattage is 10, but LED is only 1 to or 1.5. Another situation is that when people have a halogen bulb, they think that their bulbs connectors are same. But it is not. Whenever you purchase a light, you have to see the specifications between them.
Three tips for you to know better about LED replacement bulbs efficiently.
What type of fixture to use?
1. LED bulbs are manufactured to fit standard lighting fixtures, so if you use a standard light bulb in the fixture, then you will be able to use a LED replacement bulb.
2. What wattage to buy?
LED bulbs wattage are much less than halogen or fluorescent bulbs, to make the selection as easy for the consumer as possible, you will be able to see something like 4.5W=50W, it means LED bulb uses 4.5watts for an equivalent of 50 watts on a regular bulb. You can just select the wattage of bulb that you want to replace.
Now let's choose two kinds of light and compare about "the equavilant wattage between LED bulbs and halogen bulbs". And that is "LED: Halogen=1:10".
See the form as below.


4. Two LED lights pictures as below for your reference.
