Choose the right light

Warm, neutral or daylight?

Colour temperature changes how a room feels. Brightness is measured in lumens, while watts tell you how much power the lamp uses.

2700K–3000K

Warm White

A softer, warmer appearance designed to create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

Best for Bedrooms, lounges, dining areas and hospitality spaces

Brightness made simple

Choose lumens first, then compare watts.

Lumens measure visible light output. Watts measure power use. Efficient LEDs can produce the same brightness using different wattages, so always use the product's lumen specification as the primary guide.

450 lm Typical general-purpose LED: 4.5–7W Accent, bedside and lower-light applications
800 lm Typical general-purpose LED: 5.9–10.5W Common everyday room and passage lighting
1,100 lm Typical general-purpose LED: 9.5–14W Brighter task and general room lighting
1,600 lm Typical general-purpose LED: 10.5–18W High-output general-purpose lighting

Wattage ranges are guidance for common A-type general-purpose LED lamps and will vary by lamp design and efficiency. Always check the exact product specification, fitting type, dimensions and dimmer compatibility before purchase.
