UDrow LED There’s More Than Meets The Eye

Buying a retrofit UDrow LED corn light can be an easy process once you know all the information. But there are many things to consider for example what wattage equivalence are you after? And what colour option do you want?

First is it important to understand the basics of how an UDrow LED corn bulb works. The most common LED bulbs (SMD) use many small LED chips rather than a single 'LED'. When an electric current is passed through these chips, the emit light. Unlike a traditional incandescent bulb which as only a few parts, LEDs have many parts and components within each bulb, even the chip itself is made up of layers of different materials. To ensure longevity, it is therefore important that an LED manufacturer ensures all parts are of the best quality and work well in conjunction with one another, whilst still giving an excellent quality of light.

The beam angle of the UDrow led flood lighting can affect the amount of impact the light from your chosen bulb has in a room. A wide beam angle such as 120˚ works great where light needs to be well spread but inevitably this means less 'useful' light will reach low areas- this especially worth thinking about if you have tall ceilings. If your room does have a higher ceiling, a narrower beam angle works great such as a 60˚ angle. The narrower beam means the light given out is more concentrated and therefore punches more effective light towards the ground or surface areas. Traditional Halogen Spot Lights tend to have a beam angle of 38˚- this often leads to cold spots in the room where light does not reach. A 60˚ beam angle for many customers is the ideal choice. It will mean enough light is spread out to eliminate cool spots in your room, whilst enough light is given to make the UDrow led bulb.

 

Very narrow beam angle's such as 38˚ may cause a UDrow led spot light effect, but for some applications this may be useful. This could range from highlighting key features in the room like your favorite piece of art, to use for task lighting in rooms with particularly high ceilings.
