Choosing the right lamp

What to use with your Himmee light?

For your Himmee light, we recommend maximum of 12 and 15-watt LED bulbs. These bulbs can reach the luminous flux of 1 500 lumens, which equals to a 100-watt incandescent bulb.

Luminous flux (lumen)

The unit of luminous flux, referring to the total quantity of visible light, is known as lumen (lm). The mere number of watts doesn’t indicate how much light the lamp produces, only how much energy it consumes. For the light from an LED bulb to match that of a 60-watt incandescent bulb, the LED bulb or compact fluorescent bulb would need to be capable of producing 800 lumens. 

Colour temperature (kelvin)

The colour temperature has a significant impact on the atmosphere of the room. Colour temperature is measured in kelvin, the symbol of which is K. If you are looking for the colour of an incandescent bulb, you need an LED of 2 700 K. If you want to go for a whiter option, 4 000 K could be your choice.
