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.

This Philips A55 incandescent bulb has clear glass that leaves the filament visible and provides 2700K warm white light with a 400lm output. Its compact GLS shape and E27 Edison screw cap suit fittings designed for this bulb size and rating.

Rated at 230V and 40W, the bulb measures 55mm in diameter and 97mm in overall length, with a rated average life of 1,000 hours. Match the voltage to the intended supply and use only in a complete fitting approved for a 40W incandescent lamp, with suitable heat tolerance, ventilation and clearance. A matching E27 cap alone does not establish suitability. If dimming, use an incandescent-rated control suitable for the lamp and supply, and check its minimum and maximum total connected load. A single 40W bulb may be below some controls' minimum load, so include every lamp controlled together when calculating the total.
