Hello

Just a question: I am completely redoing my bathroom and I plan to install 2 LED bulbs 220V without transformer therefore.
What model would you recommend for this type of room?

Merci de votre réponse


Hello,

It depends on the surface and location of the spots, if you only need 2 spots, I advise you to take an SMD model: https://www.econologie.com/shop/eclairag ... ique-c-100

It is the best LED bulb we have in brightness and the lighting angle is very large compared to other LEDs. The light color is close to a halogen bulb.

Otherwise if you want a white light (neon type), here is a special compact fluorescent bathroom model (whiter light for better color rendering, close to sunlight): https://www.econologie.com/shop/eclairag ... ique-c-100

I advise you to visit this page for more information on bathroom lighting: https://www.econologie.com/forums/puissance- ... 10070.html

Well indeed .. Eating greenery .... Not terrible ... Since the birthday in Mamita we installed in the dining room a chandelier with 16 LED bulbs of 1.2W (memory) ... It lights up more or less green ... Balance to compensate since we turn on the two large ikea bulbs of 15W piece on the bar while before the fluorescent light of 30W which hung at the end of the wires on the ceiling was enough to light up the room ..Bref

It was another customer question by email this morning that I just copied / pasted ...

Macro if you buy 1st price bulbs, don't be surprised by the lack of quality, performance and durability (above all) ...

You should try one from the store https://www.econologie.com/shop/ it would change you greenish ...

I bought nothing ... It was still an almost poisoned gift from the in-laws ...

Already a chandelier with 16 bulbs it would have stayed frankly where it was ... (especially that in addition there is a second coordinated with 8 other bulbs for the living room)

And for megaman ... 11W piece .... it would be in the 90W for the chandelier ... It is on that 90W of compact fluorescent it would change the snotty greenery 19.2W total of the 16 led lamps ...
But hey ... They deserve to be pretty in the shape of fleches with walnuts ...

What 14 euros? It's too much for you? So you prefer ikea at 5 € which will keep you 1 to 2 years instead of 10 years for Megaman?

16 shit LED bulbs is always more expensive than one or 2 good compact fluorescent bulbs ... which will probably give the same light output in Lumens!

Currently, 1.2 Watt in LED is equivalent, at best to 2.5 watts in compact fluorescent, that is to say: nothing at all!

For me the choice and calculation is quickly made :)

And actually having wanted to stingy on consumption with LEDs we end up with having to need our headlamps to eat ... The most annoying thing in all this is that you can no longer speak to your guests by looking, because a frontal blow petzl in the mirettes and you are daubed for 10 minutes ...

And still it could be worse if I put on my fire helmet with its msa xenon lamp ...

: Shock: : Shock: Whatever! Did you learn where to calculate a lighting power? These are the lumens that do not count the number of light points!

Take a box of a 1.2W LED bulb and look at the lumens it produces: I bet it is no more than 60-80 lumens (and again I aim high, I think rather for 50 lumens !!! )

Price level, it would surprise me that the LED bulb costs 10 times cheaper than the compact fluorescent (that is; not 14, but 12.45 euros !!)

In the end you would need 3 to 4 compact fluorescent bulbs to have an equivalent brightness (and in my opinion higher) than your 24 LED bulbs of 1.2 W ... for a much more reliable investment!

If these are led flame bulbs as I think, you can always replace 1 on X with a quality fluorescent flame !!!

The problem is that it's not me who chooses home decor ... Otherwise we would have stayed with our good old quality compact fluorescent (paid a fortune in 2003 that said in my workshop she slams a max )) at the end of its socket ...

The people who gave us these chandeliers also gave us the 24 LED bulbs that go with ...

The calculation I did is not a lumen calculation but a Euros calculation ... And I just recounted on my ten fingers and it's just : Mrgreen: And it is also fair that my wife earns 500 € / month (more precisely 6130 € / year I filled in the tax declaration last night) : Cheesy:

That said it will do it for this summer : Cheesy: (we eat outside) but he is sure that for the next winter ... We will pay a big halogen which will heat up the meal at the same time : Cheesy: : Cheesy:
