Upgrade Your Lighting with Smart Bulbs
Light is something we often take for granted when we flip a switch. With the new smart bulbs on the market you can achieve much more than standard room lighting. Upgrade your lights to smart bulbs that can save you time, allow you to change the entire mood of a room with the choice of millions of colors, and set a schedule to turn on/off individual lights at a specific time of day.

LED Edison Bulb Buying Guide
YOU MUST READ THIS BEFORE BUYING ANY EDISON VINTAGE LED BULB.
The most misleading information given on LED vintage bulbs is the wattage equivalent. Every web site out there which sells LED vintage bulbs and all the manufacturers making those bulbs have this piece of information listed on their bulbs. What they don’t tell you is whether it is equivalent to Vintage Edison Incandescent bulb or a standard incandescent bulb. There is a big difference between the two.
LED Light Bulbs Color
CHOOSING THE CORRECT COLOR TEMPERATURE FOR YOUR LED BULBS.
Not too long ago, before LED bulbs took over we had very little choice when it came to our light bulb color temperature. It is the color of the light measured on a temperature scale referred to as Kelvin (K). A lower number means the light will appear more yellow, while the higher the number means the light will appear whiter or bluer. The color of the incandescent bulbs we were used to is around 2700K. Any number higher than this will be a whiter color and lower will be more yellow.
Bulb Shape Code
If you been shopping for bulbs you most probably have seen those shape code numbers in the bulb’s description. For example ST18, ST58, ST21, ST64, G25, G30, G40, A19, A21, and A23. What do those codes mean?

Here are some quick things to consider about quality color rendering as you develop your ideal lighting plan.
The Color of Light & CCT
Color choice is a powerful decision. When you examine the science of color and explore Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) you can better determine how to choose light color for each space. Color can be used to evoke certain moods, boost your work with task lighting and define a space.
Color theory involves a lot of components we could not cover in the length of one blog. Instead, we will examine warm vs. cool light to define those descriptions, explain Correlated Color Temperature (CCT), and also what type of moods you can evoke when you choose cool or warm lights in your unique lighting applications.
