Colour Temperature

Colour temperature is measured in Kelvin (K) – the lower the number, the warmer the white light appears, while a higher Kelvin will appear cooler. Colour temperature generally ranges from 2700-3300K (warm) to 3300-5300 (cool) – and 6500K is daylight.

Equivalent Wattages Between Different Light Bulbs

As long as the technology developed, a LED light bulb can only use 8 watt power but light up similar brightness when a incandescent light bulb uses 60 watt power. There is equivalent wattage between different light bulbs. To stop making confuse, you need to know what wattage equivalent to each other. See the table attached as below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Polaris 30W tubular strip bulb dimmable?

Dimming compatibility has not been confirmed for this exact product. Do not assume compatibility with every dimmer from its incandescent construction alone. Confirm the lamp and fitting requirements before using dimming controls, including the permitted lamp type and connected load. This bulb is rated at 30W.

Will this 284mm S15 bulb fit my picture light or display fitting?

Check that the fitting requires a double-ended S15 lamp with the listed 284mm length, 25mm diameter, 240V rating and 30W incandescent load. Match the cap and holder arrangement as well as the dimensions; similar-looking linear lamps are not automatically interchangeable. Confirm clearance and do not exceed the fitting's maximum wattage. Switch off power and allow the lamp to cool before handling.

Is this an LED tube, and why is the finish called both opal and frosted?

The product record identifies this as an incandescent strip bulb, not an LED or fluorescent tube. The listing calls the finish opal, while the Polaris packaging describes it as a Frosted Double-Ended Tubular Lamp. Both describe the supplied lamp's non-clear appearance. Existing specifications list 200lm output, 2700K warm white light and a 1,000-hour rated average life; rated life is not a guarantee for each bulb.
