Light-Emitting Diode (LED)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first one is the most energy-efficient light bulb. Although the LED light has only been popular in recent decades, it&#8217;s already been around since 1927 when Russian inventor Oleg Lesev reports the creation of the first LED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The characteristics of LED is it gives off no heat, contains no mercury and emits a bright light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are excellent for task lighting since they emit directed light. Integrated LED light fixtures are those that have LED lights built right into the fixture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, they\u2019re well-known for their lifespan and tend to have a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Incandescent\"><\/span>2. Incandescent<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The next one is the incandescent light bulb. This type of light bulb was invented by Warren de la Rue in 1820.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rue uses a platinum filament that\u2019s inserted inside a partially vacuumed glass tube and channeled electric current through it, and then the metal radiated light due to the intense heat it produced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incandescent lights are the most widely used and usually the least expensive type of light bulb even though this type of light bulb tends to use more energy than other types of light bulbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incandescent light bulb emits a warm light that can be used with a dimmer. The incandescent light bulb usually lasts up to a year which is longer than halogen light bulbs but not as long as CFL or LED light bulbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Also Read: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/main-types-of-lighting\/\">3 Main Types of Lighting<\/a>&#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Compact_Fluorescent_CFL\"><\/span>3.

And also after they burn out, they are recyclable, so a big win for the environment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Halogen\"><\/span>4. Halogen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The last one of our list of types of light bulbs is the halogen lights. These lights emit a white light that simulates high-noon daylight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These energy-saving lights can be dimmed and are perfect for recessed lighting, pendants, and under cabinets. However, they burn out the fastest among the four options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because they heat up quickly, keep them away from flammable materials. To be extra safe, wear gloves when changing them &#8211; the oil from your hands can cause the bulb to break if it gets too hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there you are! The 4 types of light bulbs to choose to illuminate your home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every light bulb might have its own characteristics and are better to use in one condition among the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, the only thing that matters is you choose the light bulbs with the SNI logo on it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does that mean? The SNI logo on light bulbs means that the light bulbs have already been certified with the SNI certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SNI certification itself is a set of regulations that ensure any products or services that are being sold or distributed in Indonesia, this includes the light bulbs that are used to illuminate your rooms!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lights that are certified with the SNI certification have already undergone a series of tests to determine its safety and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To know more about the SNI certification of lights, kindly check the link <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/\">HERE<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the type of light bulbs and how to choose the right one for<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":737,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[35,36,8],"class_list":["post-735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-led-lights","tag-lighting","tag-sni"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=735"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/737"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
