CFL TO LED CONVERSION FOR PIN LAMPS

This post has been updated from its original version.

PL lamps, given their name by their originator, Philips Lighting, have been in
the game for many years now. These pin-based lamps are widely used and installed
in a variety of fixtures, from recessed cans, outdoor fixtures, and ceiling
fans, to table lamps and wall sconces. They’re used in both residential and
commercial buildings across the country. Like most energy efficient lamps, these
were first introduced in compact fluorescent format. While CFLs will always be
the better choice over incandescent lamps, by considering CFL to LED conversion,
you’ll discover an entirely new range of benefits. Just think of it as leveling
up.

Dollars and Sense

For starters, let’s look at wattage. The wattage amount used by a bulb measures
how much energy it consumes to illuminate the room. LED PL lamps that use only
12 watts of energy can replace CFL PL lamps that consume 26 watts. By switching
out just one bulb, you’re cutting the energy consumption, and equally the costs,
for that one bulb by more than half. LED lamps have been made to replace 13, 18,
26 , 32 and 48-watt CFL bulbs.

In addition to saving money long-term, LED technology is such that it removes
the glow and flicker that is so commonly associated with fluorescent lighting.
The LED lights provide instant-on lighting, and warm up in no time at all. While
CFLs typically come with a 5 year warranty and 10,000 hour lifetime rating,
their LED counterparts have warranties upwards of 10 years, and are rated to
last 50,000 hours on average.

Battle of the Ballast

When shopping for PL lamps, you may notice some are labeled Plug and Play while
others are labeled Ballast Bypass. Plug and play lamps attach directly into the
socket of your fixture and operate using the ballast that’s already there. No
additional wiring is required, making the transition both smooth and simple.

Rewiring is necessary to install ballast bypass LED PL lamps, as the existing
ballast has to be removed. They are, however, a great choice for anyone wanting
a lamp that will call for less maintenance. Each type is available in horizontal
and vertical design for illumination in both commercial and residential
environments.

Bulb Base and Basics

PL lamps come in multiple color temperatures and either a 2-pin led bulb or
4-pin led bulb configuration. All have a base of either GU24, G24 or GX23.
You’ll want to pay careful attention to these details in order to avoid getting
the wrong bulb for your fixtures. They come in color temperatures that range
from the warm 3000K to a cool 5000K. The warm, or soft glow at the beginning of
the spectrum is ideal for living areas. The cooler light is what is typically
found in office buildings, schools, and hospitals. Once you’ve chosen your
wattage, ballast, base, and color, you’ll be good to go! You’ve already switched
from incandescent to CFL. Now committing to CFL to LED conversion just got a
little easier.

Great and succinct article. It should be pointed out that led bulbs generate
very low quantities of heat-another benefit during summer months and high
use of air conditioning. Our handypersons can help upgrade all those bulbs
especially in high ceilings safely. See our us at
