How to Choose the Right Light Bulbs for Your Home
Choosing the right LED bulb involves more than simply looking at wattage. Lumens indicate how much light a bulb produces, while colour temperature and additional features can help you create the right lighting for each room.
When choosing your bulbs, consider:
- Brightness (Lumens): Choose the right level of brightness for the size and purpose of the room
- Colour Temperature: Choose warmer light for relaxing spaces and cooler light for working or focused tasks
- Cap Type: Check that the bulb is compatible with your existing light fitting
- Dimmable or Smart Features: Enjoy greater control over brightness, colour and everyday lighting
- Energy Efficiency: Use less energy while benefiting from a longer-lasting light source

FAQ
How do I choose the right LED light bulb?
Start by checking the bulb cap, such as E26, along with its brightness in lumens and colour temperature in Kelvin. You should also consider whether you need dimming or smart features.
How many lumens do I need for each room?
The ideal brightness depends on the room and how you use it:
- Living room / bedroom: 800–1100 lumens
- Kitchen / workspace: 1100–1600 lumens
- Accent lighting: 400–600 lumens
Which colour temperature should I choose?
- Warm white (2700K–3000K): Creates a cosy, relaxing atmosphere
- Neutral white (3500K–4000K): Provides balanced light for everyday use
- Cool white / daylight (5000K+): Offers brighter, more energising light for focused tasks
Are LED light bulbs dimmable?
Not all LED bulbs are dimmable. Check that the bulb is specifically labelled as dimmable and is compatible with your existing dimmer switch.
How long do LED light bulbs last?
High-quality LED bulbs can last for around 15,000–25,000 hours, meaning they need replacing far less often than traditional bulbs.
Are smart light bulbs worth it?
Smart bulbs give you greater control over your lighting, allowing you to adjust brightness and colour, set schedules and create lighting scenes through an app or voice assistant. They are a convenient choice for modern homes and smart lighting setups.
Do Lepro light bulbs work with Alexa or Google Assistant?
Yes. Many Lepro smart bulbs are compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, allowing you to control your lighting conveniently with voice commands.
