How to Choose LED Corn Bulbs

1 Color Temperature

Color temperature refers to the color appearance of the light that comes from a light source.

The color temperature creates the mood of the space you are lighting and can thus influence buying behavior or work performance.

Normally, LED corn bulbs are available in various colors. They range from 2700K – 6000K

2700-3000K : This provides a warm white color making it best suited for houses and restaurants.  It creates a softer more relaxing environment

4000K -4500k: This is a white natural light that is great for business are or other work areas. The reason is that it replicates the daylight.

5500K-6500k: It is a white light that is great for large spaces and outdoors.

2 Lumens

While wattage measures the amount of energy required to light products, lumens measure the amount of light produced. This means that when you are looking for the LED bulb, you should look at lumens instead of watts. The more lumens the product has, the brighter the light source is.

Now in the LED lighting market,most of the supplier offer LED lamps with around 100lm/W. But at AIS,our LED corn lamp has the lumens around 130lm-160lm/W. According to this data,you can choose the right LED corn bulbs.

400-watt metal halide = 100W-140W LED corn lamp (12,000 lumens to 18,000 lumens)

250-watt metal halide = 60W-100W LED corn light (9,000 lumens to 12,000 lumens)

150-watt metal halide = 50W-80W LED corn bulb (7,000 lumens to 9,000 lumens)

100-watt metal halide = 30W-50W LED corn bulb (5,000 lumens to 8,000 lumens)

3 Warranty

Warranty is another factor you should consider. It’s not just the service you will get after purchasing. It’s also about quality. If your lighting supplier can offer longer term warranty,it means that their LED corn lights has good quality. At AIS,we normally offer 3- 5 years warranty for our LED corn bulb.

4 Beam angle

In LED corn lighting market,there are 2 common types of LED bulbs. One offers 360 degrees of light, whereas the other offers 180 degrees.

The LED bulb that offers 180 degrees of light provides light that is focused downward. On the other hand, the corn bulb that offers 360 degrees of light is for lighting full area. They provide light in all the directions. With the help of a reflector, you can even out the light of the bulb.

You can decide which one to choose according to your needs. They are the best choice for many outdoor and indoor applications.

Before you choose corn lamps,you need to check the fitting size in order to match your new bulb. At AIS,you can find the right measurements of our corn lamps. It will help you to make the right decision.

6 Input Voltage

The input voltage is another factor you should consider. Normally, the LED corn lamp can support input voltage which is 85-265VAC. This means if the your country's input voltage is in this range the lamps will work well. But if your input voltage is 277VAC ( in USA), you should choose the lamp which support 277VAC.

These are the knowledge about LED corn lamp that we would like to share with you. With the help of these tips, we hope you can find the right corn bulb. If you need have any other questions, pls feel free to contact us,we will be happy to reply you in time.
