LED Bulbs – Energy-Saving Lighting for Every Room
Whether you're upgrading your entire home or just replacing a few tired old bulbs, LED lighting is the smart choice for long-term savings and better light quality. At Lightsave Home, we offer a wide selection of energy-efficient LED bulbs to suit every fitting, room and preference.
Why Choose LED Bulbs?
LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are now the standard in modern home lighting – and for good reason:
- Use up to 90% less energy than halogen or incandescent bulbs
- Last up to 25,000 hours, meaning fewer replacements
- Instant-on brightness – no more waiting for warm-up
- Available in a range of shapes, fittings, brightness levels and colours
- Much cooler to the touch, reducing fire risk in enclosed fittings
LED Bulbs by Room
Choosing the right bulb depends on how and where you use it. Here's a quick guide:
- Living Room – Opt for warm white E27 or B22 bulbs for soft, relaxing light
- Kitchen – GU10 spotlights or cool white E14's offer bright task lighting
- Bathroom – IP-rated LED bulbs are safer in damp areas
- Garage – Daylight white bulbs with high lumen output improve visibility
- Bedroom – Dimmable LED bulbs help set the perfect tone
- Hallways & Stairs – Low-wattage LEDs keep energy costs down
Types of LED Bulbs (What Do the Codes Mean?)
There are several different bulb bases and types. Here's a quick guide:
- E27 (ES) – Edison screw cap (commonly used in ceiling fittings and lamps)
- B22 (BC) – Bayonet cap, often found in ceiling pendants
- GU10 – Twist-and-lock spotlights, perfect for kitchens or bathrooms
- E14 (SES) – Small screw cap, often used in chandeliers and lamps
- G9/G4 – Capsule bulbs found in small fittings or decorative lights
- MR16 – Low-voltage spotlights, often used with transformers
Tip: Check your existing bulb type before replacing – or contact us for help.
Colour Temperature: Warm vs Cool White
LED bulbs come in different colour temperatures, measured in Kelvin (K):
- Warm White (2700K–3000K) – Cosy, yellow-toned light ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining spaces
- Cool White (4000K) – Brighter and cleaner, great for kitchens, bathrooms or utility rooms
- Daylight (5000K–6500K) – Very bright white light, ideal for garages, home offices or craft rooms
You can also find tunable white and smart bulbs that adjust with an app or voice control.
Lumens vs Watts – What’s the Difference?
Old bulbs were rated by watts (power used), but LEDs are so efficient that lumens (brightness) are the better guide:
| Wattage (Traditional) | Equivalent LED | Lumens |
|---|---|---|
| 40W | ~5–6W | 400–500 lm |
| 60W | ~8–10W | 700–800 lm |
| 100W | ~12–14W | 1300+ lm |
How to Choose the Right LED Bulb
When buying LED bulbs for your home, think about:
- Fitting type (e.g. E27, GU10, B22)
- Brightness level (lumens)
- Colour temperature (warm or cool)
- Dimmable or not?
- IP rating for bathrooms or outdoors
- Size and shape (e.g. globe, candle, classic A-shape)
If in doubt, our team is happy to help you choose the right lighting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are LED bulbs worth it?
Yes – they save energy, last longer and perform better than traditional bulbs.
Do LED bulbs work in any lamp?
As long as the fitting (E27, B22, etc.) matches, yes. Just make sure your lamp is compatible with the wattage and size.
Are LED bulbs dimmable?
Some are – look for “dimmable” on the product listing and check you have an LED-compatible dimmer switch.
What does IP rating mean?
An IP rating tells you how water- and dust-resistant a bulb is. For bathrooms, look for IP44 or higher.
Can I use LED bulbs outdoors?
Yes – if they are marked as weatherproof or have an IP65 rating or higher.
