Thanks to technological advancements, we have been improving our light sources over the century. Light bulbs in particular have been improved tremendously. The invention of LED lights has made light sources safer and energy efficient. LEDs can also last up to 20 years, which makes it really a money saver.

There is vast selection of LED lights in the market. Lucky for us, this means there is competition so prices won’t get out of hand. LED lights, however, are significantly more expensive than Incandescent lights. They are more of an investment. You won’t see a significant change by just changing one or two light bulbs. The return of investment is achieved by consuming less energy and ensuring higher level of safety.

Buyer's Guide      

Before buying LED light bulbs you need to think about certain factors.

Lumens not Watts

Wattage is not a measure for brightness but energy consumption. Watts and brightness have a connection for Incandescent, but not for LEDs as they draw less energy. LEDs use Lumens (lm) instead, which is the real measurement for the brightness of an LED light.      

Colour

LED lights are capable of displaying diverse color ranges such as purple, red, white and yellow.

You will probably want lights like the incandescent ones you have. Those are warm white and soft white, they produce a yellowish hue like incandescent. 

Price

LED lights are going to cost you more as they are more expensive than their incandescent counterparts. But think of them as an investment. They normally will last for years and consume less energy as opposed to incandescent which needs to be replaced fairly often.

These are the basic considerations you need to make before buying LED light bulbs. Below I will list suggestions on what LED light bulbs you should get.
