What type of light bulb should I buy?

 Light bulbs are much more complex these days, and with a plenty of different options on the market, how do you find the best one for your home? We'll help you learn how to choose the best bulb for your needs.

1. LED

LED lights are the current technology for home lighting, and in recent years have rapidly transformed from an inexpensive novelty product to an everyday item. They are available at the same price as CFLs. They are very energy efficient, long lasting, 10 times longer than CFL, can be activated instantly and contain no mercury. LED light bulbs are a good choice for most lighting situations. Ggilighting website is a popular lighting website in Qatar since 2012 and contains different types of LED bulbs

2. CFL bulbs

CFL light bulbs are much cheaper, usually last a few years and provide good light. However, they fade over time and wear out quickly if it is turned on or off or exposed to extreme heat or cold. They contain small amounts of mercury, so you should handle them with care. They sometimes take a while to heat up to full brightness and are difficult to fit into smaller fixtures. They have now been replaced by LEDs, but are still common in most homes and ubiquitous in stores.

3. Halogen light bulbs

CFL light bulbs are much cheaper and usually last a few years and Halogen lamps are a type of incandescent lamps. 30% more efficient and longer lasting than old incandescent bulbs. They are likely to be used in the home as low voltage down lights and for various special purposes. Because LED globe lights and CFL light bulbs are sensitive to high temperatures, they are a good choice when fixtures are likely to be hot for long periods of time. Note that lower voltage does not necessarily mean lower power consumption. A typical low voltage down light uses 35W to 50W, plus 10W for the transformer.

4. Incandescent lamp

Incandescent bulbs are simple and cheap to make, but run very inefficiently compared to CFLs and LEDs, most of the electricity is converted to heat rather than light, so a 60W incandescent bulb can only emit as much light as an 8W LED. That's why they're mostly phased out now, but they're still available for special purposes, such as oven lights, where no suitable LED or CFL replacement has yet been developed.
