There are a couple of challenges to overcome when replacing your old lightbulbs with LED lightbulbs , and one important one is getting the colour of your bulbs right. Here are some tips from our team, who is offering free LED upgrades to homeowners around Melbourne under the Victorian energy efficiency scheme . The Color Temperature Scale   Knowing the colour temperature scale is important when choosing LED lightbulbs for your home, as this ensures you get the right colour lighting for your space.  Colour temperature is measured in Kelvin (K) and is usually technically referred to as Correlated Colour Temperature (CCT) on lighting specifications.  The way we describe colour temperature is a little confusing because it is the opposite of heat temperature. For example, the higher the colour temperature in Kelvin, the cooler the colour, and the lower the Kelvin, the warmer it is.  When choosing LED lightbulbs for your free LED upgrade under the ...

LED lightbulbs are one of the greatest sustainable energy innovations of our time! Here are some interesting facts about LEDs from our team of specialists. We provide free LED upgrades to homes through the Victorian Energy Upgrade Program . Fact #1 – LED Lightbulbs are Technological Innovations  The LED is also known as a light-emitting diode, and the team of scientists who were behind the invention of these lightbulbs in the 1990s won the Nobel Prize in physics for their innovation. The bulbs are a type of solid-state lighting that utilises a semiconductor to convert electricity into light, technology that allows them to use 85% less energy than typical halogen bulbs. It’s this ability to provide great lighting using a fraction of the energy that has made them part of the Victorian Energy Upgrade Program.  Fact #2 – They’re Versatile  LED lightbulbs can be used in almost any lighting application, from residential lighting (task lighting, security ...
