Energy Guide

Here’s what the label does tell you:

1. Brightness is measured in lumens. The more lumens a bulb emits, the brighter it will

be. Incandescent bulbs were traditionally measured in Watts, or the amount of energy

required to produce the light. According to the equivalencies published by Energy Star if

you are replacing a:

40W bulb, look for 450 lumens

60W bulb, look for 800 lumens

100W bulb, look for 1600 lumens

2. Estimated Energy Cost is measured based on a usage rate of three (3) hours per day

and 11 cents ($0.11) per kilowatt hour. Similarly, the lifespan of the bulb is calculated

based on the same assumption that the light will be on for three (3) hours a day.

3. Light Appearance is measured as a Correlated Color Temperature(CCT) in Kelvin (K).

CCT is simply a method of describing how warm or cool a light appears. Lights with a

CCT of 3000K or below are usually considered “warm” – they pull mostly from yellows

and reds – and temperatures above 4100K are considered “cool” – they pull mostly from

blues and greens. 3500K is considered neutral. Incandescent bulbs, and almost all bulbs

that market themselves as incandescent replacements, produce light in the 2700K to

3000K range.

The label fails to inform the consumer whether a light is omnidirectional. Many LED

lights, as an example, emit light in one direction.

So what should you do?

There is one lighting company that was created for the sole purpose of developing a

light technology that truly replicates the look and warm glow of incandescence while

meeting the energy savings requirements established by the government. This is how

Tesla Technology™ was born. Check out the Finally™ Bulb. You’ll like what you see on

the label. More important, you’ll love the light inside.
