Hello, i love your desk lamp!, please, which brand is it...?.thank you, best regards

Thank you That was very clear I will write that down as Im renovating my first house 🙏🤗

Very helpful video. I didn't know I needed to look at range on the dimmer switch or that dim-to-warm was a thing, because I have been really disappointed with my dimmed LEDs. They just make the room grey, so I haven't moved from incandescent in TV room yet, though I would love to.

Great video. Makes it easier to make sense of the huge wall of light-bulbs offered at the hardware store. Thank you!

every days a school day! Thanks for explaining things so well!

Thanks

EXCELLANT VIDEO. Thank you.

thank you!

Thanks for the details

Which light bulbs in bathroom ceiling for make up application?

Thank you for existing

Thank you Eleanor

HI Eleanor quick Q pls. Can you mix one dimmer with many toggle switches to control one line of lights (eg a long corridor with 12 lights and 4 switches but only 1 dimmer in the middle needed)

How to choose the right bulb quickly and easily. Go into your garage, get in your Time Machine, set it for 1988, now go to the store and buy about 1,000 light bulbs of different wattages, go back 'Home' and start enjoying what's left of your 'Today' kind of life." I hope you picked up some fruits and vegetables while you were back in 88. It seems all of our new ideas about growing food have totally destroyed our once fantastic produce! "What's that crunch I just heard? and why are you crying?" You say you're crying tears of joy over the fantastic flavor of your 1988 apple? Plus you're lightbulbs were so easy to shop for. Wasn't it a great trip? I know, I know, some things ARE better now. I just miss being able to buy a bulb without taking a class. It gave us time for things like, Loving our family, our home, ( Back when home was more than just an investment to be flipped ) What a Great world we have created, with our shiny new open minds that tell us to allow our kids to tell us to go F ourselves, and then, give them a time out....instead of them loosing an eye! Yeeeee Hawwwwww!!!! I'm ready for all the, "What does all this have to do with buying lightbulbs?" I almost feel bad that you are soon going to be able to put things like this together.( Eventually you'll love it. But it'll be bumpy at first.) You have been conditioned to ACT like you don't get it......and that people like me are knuckle scraping cave dwellers. You have no idea how sorry people like me are about all this. You're probably better off learning about lumins vs watts for a while yet....Or how about, how pencil erasers can save the rain forests if only used once a day------at most.... Have fun. Be careful. We'll be friends someday. Hey, watch your language!!! You'll see, we will.

Dear Eleanor You are simply the best on youtube by miles! You certainly know your stuff and brilliant teacher 👌

This is simply the best video I've seen on this subject.. Bravo ❤👏👏

For a TRIAC Power Supply what kind of dimmer switch do I need?

Very useful, thanks. The blogs on the internet and many of the product names contradict each other about whether "cool" is 4000K-ish or 6500K-ish, so this helped me get a sense of it. And "Daylight", "Neutral"/"Natural" and other terms don't seem too consistent out there.

So, I want to make me a 144 Led Unit/m, 120cm TL tube, which gives light (Lumen) as much as an old 150w Osram spotlightbulb. What specification do the LEDs need to be, knowing there be around 170 LED units in 120cm, what power source will I need? Thank you.

Great to know. Lady. Thank you

Incandescent is more efficient than LED, LED is harmful to the skin & eyes and emits electromagnetic radiation. You can still buy incandescents but they are rare.

Superb video. Perfect information.

very helpfull, greeting from Indonesia

Hi, this is a great video, thank you! I am doing a little research in order to buy lamps for my apartment and as far as I understood I should choose 2700K for living room and bedroom, however I would like to have a brighter light in the kitchen and in the hall because I do not like the yellow light at night when I am cooking, which made me think to buy a 4000K light bulb for both kitchen and hall. However on the end of your video you mentioned that we should stick with only one color temperature. Does that mean that I should also buy 2700K light bulbs for the kitchen and hall?

Excellent video. We just reno'd the kitchen and we need new light fixtures. Will bookmark and review this.

hi Eleanor, thanks so much for your useful video! Unfortunately we have very bad experience with our existing trimless downlights now. The GU10 bulbs are burning out but we cannot take out the inner fitting to change bulb without damaging the finished plasterboard hole edges. Do you know if there is any special tool that we can use in order to get the bulb down? My home is becoming darker and darker now :( Thank you in advance and looking forward to your advice.

LOL. We're supposed to take advice from a woman???

i have flickering with a LED compatible dimmer switch - but the miniload is 60W. I'm guessing this is too high for the three modern LED bulbs

Just a suggestion, tell your watchers to turn off the power before doing any work!!!!!! MAINS KILL'S

Super useful bit of CPD :) The whitegoods one is really nice. I think one thing these are all struggling with is defects and subsequent replacement. Not sure whether any of them can be pulled out without having to re-plaster the ceiling. Thanks!

Very useful. Thank you.

Extremely helpful. Now I know which one to buy!

Thank you very much, I had a similar Problem with a incandescent dimmer trying to use these LED's. The folks in the hardware store had no idea what I was talking about.

why do i keep getting british utbe vids no relevance to standards.

Great video! What size downlight would you choose for a 12 by 12 foot room I want 4 in the corners only. I was looking at Astro but they are 85mm diameter or more. So confused.

Excellent information. I feel much better informed about what to purchase.

I really appreciate how you got straight to the point 😅 thank you so much! 🙏🏻

Thanks for your help. After years of looking for the clear, hot white bright LED, I have, with your help, found it! I found them in Walmart. One is GE the other is their members mark. I bought a box of each. One is the A21 the other A19. The only difference I found was the A21 is a bit larger. They both are clear 1600 lumens. Wow! what a difference. Will be replacing all our bath room bulbs. They both dimmed with my 10 year old dimmers. They cannot be told apart as to brightness. Very happy!!!!

Thanks for this. Really good video. Glad I found it as I'm looking at getting this type of light fighting installed. For the extention it will go straight onto plasterboard before skimming. But in the other rooms it will go into an existing celeing that's already plasterboard and skimmed/painted. My plans are to get the celeing reskimmed anyway. Do you think these will be OK for that purpose. Thanks and I really enjoyed your other videos as well.

Hi, great vid. I’d like to ask, can I retrofit these? Thinking of filing away to accommodate the perforated plate and then use filler instead of plaster to smooth over and paint

Thank you Eleanor! A simple explanation at last.

I have a question before I order any more bulbs. I must have a "burning white hot" light in my reading lamp. I find The Philips 100 watt standard bulb meets that need. It is a standard base, clear 1490 lumens. It is referred to as a dimmable sparkling bulb. Problem is it is not an LED and tends to flicker and burn out often. Can you tell me the LED you would replace this with?

Can I know what is the wattage for Led bulb of a 23watts compact Fluorescent light bulb daylight E27 cap bulb 💡

I'm sorry, but I absolutely have no clue what you are talking about. What I desperately need to know exactly which light bulb that puts out the less/none amount of (HEAT!) Because I'm waisting MONEY I don't have to throw away Not to mention!! You are CORRECT! On how lighting effects us. For me is. #1. I had a full hysterectomy in 2012 and are not on any hormone supplements. #2. I'm a BIG GIRL who extremely suffers with FIBROMYALGIA & HEALTH ISSUES. SO NO! I CAN NOT HANDLE HEAT CUZ I GET VERY SICK & HATE EVERYTHING.. SAME GOES FOR COLD... NOPE! ABSOLUTELY NOT GETTING OUT OF BED . BECAUSE COLD HURTS 100 MORE TIMES THEN BIRTH. ALL 3 OF MY CHILDREN WHERE NOT PLAN & YOU CAN TELL THE BIG GAP IN AGE DIFFERENCE. BRIAN IS 32. KAYLEE IS 21 AND SHANA WILL BE 15 IN DECEMBER. SO PLEASE HELP ME

So, what should the Kelvin be in a kitchen?

Just stick to halogen, led lighting is awful and damaging to the eyes. They also create a lot of electrical waste

I love how you showed/changed the light differences as you described, warm natural daylight… thanks. It helped put it in perspective
