As someone who is environmentally conscious and always looking for ways to save energy (we all must be, folks), I was on the hunt for the perfect LED lamp. I’ve researched and found out that LED lamps are far more energy efficient than regular incandescent bulbs, and I wanted to see for myself.
LED lamps, or light-emitting diodes, use less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs. This is because LED lamps convert 80% of the energy they use into light, whereas incandescent bulbs only convert 20% of the energy they use into light. This means that LED lamps use less energy to produce the same amount of light, resulting in lower electricity bills and a smaller carbon footprint. Of course, in the top of mind of everyone looking for top-notch decor elements is Ikea, the Swedish chain that sells amazing products at affordable prices.
The New Led Lamps From IKEA Are a Must for Your Home
I was excited to learn that Ikea had released two new smart LED lights with up to 1,000 lumens of brightness and remote dimming. I’lm talking about the PILSKOTT LED floor lamp and the PILSKOTT Pendant Lamp, both come with a bendable LED light strip and support connectivity to the Ikea Home smart app. The floor lamp has a maximum brightness of 700 lm and the pendant lamp can reach a maximum of 1,100 lm, enough brightness to fill your house with beautifully colored light without receiving a gigantic electricity bill the next month.
I decided to give the Ikea PILSKOTT LED floor lamp a try, and I was impressed with the results. The lamp has a modern, minimalist design that fit in perfectly with my home decor (packed with Ikea elements, I can’t help it anytime I go to the store!). The concrete base and anodized aluminum housing add a touch of elegance to the lamp. I was also impressed with the level of brightness the lamp provided. T
he built-in dimmer switch allowed me to adjust the light to my desired level, creating the perfect ambiance for any occasion.
What impressed me the most was the energy efficiency of the lamp: The lamp outputs 14.5W power and has a built-in dimmer switch. The power cable of the lamp is 2 meters long. The pendant lamp outputs 16.5W and measures 97 × 4 cm. The lamp can last up to 25,000 hours, which means I won’t have to replace it for a long time.
