Dim able Led Light

Dimmable LED bulb

 

The word dim able is an English term derived from "dimmer" which means in French "variateur". A dimmable LED bulb is therefore a bulb that is compatible with a dimmer. The latter makes it possible to modulate the power of the light according to the context and recalls the well-known principle of the halogen lamp.

Characteristics of an LED bulb

The name LED is an abbreviation for "Light Emitting Diode", which stands for "light-emitting diode lamp". Basically, these lamps were used for signaling or as watch indicators, thanks to their very long life. It was only in 2014, after the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three Japanese researchers, that they were democratized on the bulb market. The latter had succeeded in highlighting a possible increase in light output on a blue light bulb.

The luminous efficiency of an LED bulb, measured in lumen per watt, is much more important than an incandescent bulb, as is its life span of up to fifty thousand hours. Its yield nevertheless tends to decrease significantly with the passage of time. Its low power consumption is widely acclaimed, as is its relatively limited heat output. Even if the purchase price is higher, it is an excellent investment, eliminating the recurrent and unpleasant syndrome of the bulb that "jumps". It also allows to produce a wide variety of colors by composition.

The maximum brightness level is reached immediately after switching on. There is therefore absolutely no revving and it is insensitive to shocks as well as repeated and rapid stop / start cycles.

The benefits of Dimmable LED bulb

In addition to all the points mentioned above, which remain perfectly valid for the dimmable type, this kind of bulb has many other advantages because of its specificity. The possibility of being able to vary light intensity from zero to one hundred percent is a significant asset. Modulating the lighting of a room according to its needs or wishes is now a privilege perfectly accessible.

Its environmental impact is less, not containing mercury. It’s very low electricity consumption, for its part, corroborates this ecological dimension. It is better understood why incandescent lamps were gradually reduced and even banned in France in 2012, flu-compact lamps momentarily taking over before the democratization of LED bulbs. These continue to evolve, constantly, continuing to grow while the prices are intended, each year, more accessible.

Functionally, they allow to create, for the children, a night light to reassure them during the nocturnal period or during the phase of falling asleep. They are also ideal for people who often have to get up at night and do not want to be blinded by too powerful light. A dimmable LED bulb is also easy to change to a bedside lamp and will be very interesting, for example, to read before bedtime without disturbing your spouse. It is also very powerful to create particular atmospheres by playing with the fineness of the various possible settings.
