Don't forget that when choosing a Philips energy-saving bulb, in addition to wattage, you need to pay attention to luminous flux, which determines the level of radiation. A Philips E27 LED bulb for an office space is chosen according to the same principle as for an apartment or house.

Philips Hue and CorePro

All Philips E27 LED bulbs are energy-efficient and considered long-life. However, the product ranges differ from one another. The most popular series in the Philips bulb range remain Hue and CorePro.

The Philips Hue series are smart bulbs of different grades. You can choose the intensity of the light output independently by first installing an E27 bulb in the living room, bedroom, bathroom or any other room in the house. High-performance LED bulbs feature a dimmer to adjust light intensity. A smart switch requires just one touch to light a wall or ceiling lamp. For added convenience, E27 bulbs are compatible with motion detectors. The optimal energy consumption of LED lamps reduces energy costs.

The CorePro series is best suited to everyday lighting. The color temperature of LEDs makes them ideal for lighting rooms in apartments, houses and offices. The bulbs in this series combine the characteristics of a classic incandescent bulb with those of a modern LED model.

Choosing the right temperature and wattage

In terms of color temperature, between 2700 and 3200K are the recommended values for a bedroom or nursery. These values will make room lighting comfortable for relaxation and rest. To light a bathroom, office, kitchen or reading area, it's best to choose lamps with color temperatures between 4000-5000K. For the living room, 3000-6500K is more suitable.

The standard wattage for an apartment or house varies from 18 to 20 W, but you can choose the number of lamps at your discretion. Experts also recommend paying attention to brightness, which is measured in lumens, and is the total amount of visible light in a beam of light.

Installation and maintenance

If you're interested in a Philips designer LED bulb or an equivalent LED model for your home, you'll probably need to familiarize yourself with the rules of installation, which are nonetheless fairly straightforward. Note that sometimes switches don't include the phase wire, as required by electrical safety standards, so when replacing the lamp, don't touch the base!

Basic instructions

Before installing the bulb in the lamp, you must cut off the power supply to the socket by pressing the switch! Just in case, when unscrewing and screwing in the lamp, don't touch the base. There's nothing complicated about installing or replacing an LED bulb. Simply unscrew the old, burnt-out bulb, counter-clockwise, if it's installed in a lamp. Then screw in the new bulb clockwise. Take care of your bulb by periodically wiping its surface with a soft, dry cloth.
