Lighting – A Detailed Guide to The 2 Most Popular Styles
Carme Home, where luxury and technology combine! In this blog we’ll look at lighting options and compare two popular choices: Hollywood bulbs and LED lights. Each has its own unique charm, and we’re here to help you understand the differences and decide which is the best new addition for your home.
Technology: Hollywood Bulbs vs. LED
Hollywood bulbs have been a symbol of glamour and elegance for decades. Traditionally, they are incandescent bulbs that rely on a heated filament to produce light when an electric current passes through it.
At Carme Home, all our Hollywood bulb pieces are equipped with LED technology. LED, or Light-Emitting Diodes, are solid-state semiconductors that emit light when an electric current flows through them. Unlike incandescent bulbs, LEDs don’t use a heated filament, which makes them more energy-efficient. This means you can get the best of both worlds: the classic Hollywood aesthetic with the added benefits of LED technology!
Appearance: Iconic Globe vs. Sleek Modern Designs
Hollywood bulbs are easily recognisable by their iconic globe shape. These bulbs evoke a classic and nostalgic Hollywood aesthetic often associated with vanity and glamour. Their larger size sets them apart from standard light bulbs, giving them a distinctive and stand-out look.
LED lights come in various shapes and sizes, they generally have a more modern and streamlined integrated appearance. LED technology allows for compact sizes and design flexibility, enabling the creation of sleek and contemporary lighting products.
Advantages of LED and Hollywood Lighting
Energy-efficient: LED bulbs consume significantly less energy than incandescent bulbs, reducing your electricity bill.
Extremely long lifespan: LED bulbs can last up to 25 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs.
Highly durable: LED lights are highly durable and resistant to shocks, vibrations, and impacts, ensuring a longer-lasting lighting solution.
Produces less heat: LED technology generates less heat during operation.
Design flexibility: LED technology allows for various integrated designs, allowing us to create a variety of products.
Colour options: LED bulbs can emit light in various colours, allowing you to create captivating lighting effects to suit different moods and occasions.
Brightness and Dimmability: Both Hollywood bulbs and LED lights provide a bright, flattering, and even illumination.
