How to Choose the Right Light Bulbs for Your Home

How to Choose the Right Light Bulbs for Your Home

Lighting does so much more than simply brighten a room - it sets the mood, enhances your décor, and influences how spaces feel and function. At Zisabo, we know that finding the right lighting solution is key to creating the perfect environment in every corner of your home.

Whether you're upgrading your home décor or simply replacing a bulb, understanding the basics of Lighting Products can make all the difference!

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing Light Bulbs

1) Lumens: How Bright Is It?

  • Lumens measure the total amount of visible light emitted.

  • Higher lumens = brighter light.

  • Example: A traditional 60-watt incandescent bulb gives off about 800 lumens.

2) Watts: How Much Energy Does It Use?

  • Watts measure the energy consumption of a bulb, not its brightness.

  • Look for lower wattage with higher lumens for energy-efficient lighting (e.g., an LED that uses just 10 watts to produce 800 lumens).

*Save on energy costs with stylish, eco-friendly lighting solutions.

3) Kelvin: What Colour Temperature Do You Want?

  • Kelvin (K) measures the colour temperature of light:

    • 2700K: Warm white – perfect for cosy living spaces.

    • 4000K: Cool white – ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and workspaces.

    • 5000K: Daylight – fresh, crisp lighting that mimics natural daylight.

*From soft ambient glows to bright, energizing spaces match your needs perfectly with our range of Lighting Products

4) Types of Light Bulb Fittings

Before diving into brightness and color, it’s important to match the right bulb base to your fittings:

  • BC – Bayonet Cap: A classic twist-and-lock fitting, often found in traditional ceiling lights.

  • ES – Edison Screw: One of the most common fittings, where the bulb screws into the socket.

  • SES – Small Edison Screw: A smaller version, ideal for delicate fixtures like bedside lamps and chandeliers.

*Top tip: Always check the fitting type before purchasing new bulbs for your space.

Here is a visual recap.
