The Definitive Buying Guide for LED Light Bulbs

What I've noticed lately is there's a lack of information that can be found on the web about LED light bulbs. Now there's a ton of information online about LEDs in general, don't get me wrong. But when it comes to LED light bulbs specifically and what to look for when wanting to purchase them, the information is very sparse, and if it even IS available, it's usually in a very technical format where you practically need an engineering degree to decrypt what the figures mean.

Because of that, we've decided to create a guide of our own. It's a guide that explains :

  • What LEDs are
  • How they work
  • Why they are better than compact fluorescents
and most importantly,
  • What features you should be looking for when purchasing LED light bulbs

Thanks for posting this! Very helpful and informative! It's hard to find everything in one place with so many companies selling these bulbs....hopefully they come down in price soon.

That HP-10 you have pictured has quite an ugly yellow halo at the edge of its beam, no? Yuk.

I also found this buying guide helpful. I was recently on OutdoorLightingandMore.com and they had such a large assortment of light fixtures. I had no idea what to choose but your guide helped me out a lot. Thanks! FYI, my recent purchases are great!

A great Guide!

Now that CFLs have become so cheap it is worrying that they, and the mercury they contain, are flooding in all around us.

LED bulbs need more media exposure to encourage more use, leading to the economy of scale that has made CFLs so readily available.
