Labels
Explained
Since 2011, all
lightbulbs must include
a Lighting Facts label.
The label provides
information to help
consumers make
educated purchases.
Not sure what all the
numbers mean? Here’s
a quick rundown of the
key terms.
LUMENS = Brightness
A traditional 60-watt
incandescent bulb has a
brightness equivalent to
800 lumens.
KELVIN = Light
Appearance
The higher the number,
the cooler or bluer the
light. The lower the
number, the warmer or
more amber the light.
WATTS = Energy Used
The lower the number,
the lower the power
consumption.
MULTIPLY MOVEMENT
Adjustable arms and shades
let you position this fi xture
to match your room’s needs.
Bowery, Fredrick Ramond
[DID YOU KNOW?]
AN LED HAS ABOUT
40,000 hours OF
LIFE. IF YOU HAVE
IT ON FOR SIX
HOURS A DAY,
THAT WOULD
BE MORE THAN
18 YEARS OF USE.
