LEDisong LED Bulb Frosted Review

General Information

ID #240
SKU EBUF-B22
Series LEDisong
Manufacturer Ecopoint (other LEDs from Ecopoint)
Fitting Type B22 (other B22 LEDs)
Light Type Globe
Height 112mm
Width 58mm
Weight 45g
Warranty 3 Years
Test Date 2014-01-06
Review Notes Claimed replacement for 75W incandescent, however 75W is typically ~1100 lm (see incandescent equivalency chart here), which is considerably more than manufacturer's 650 lm specification. Nevertheless it is still a reasonably efficient globe with a good CRI. The frosting gives a even distribution of light.

Distribution Graph

Maximum lux:

Graph notes: Shows the intensity of the light when viewed from different angles. Normal omni-directional globes have a fairly constant output all the way around (excepting directly above). Downlights have a narrow range at the bottom in which the light is emmited, this determines their angle.

 

Spectrum Graph

Representation of color spectrum

Graph notes: Shows the breakdown of the LED light into its component colors. With short wavelength ultraviolet on the left and long wavelength infrared on the right. The green line represents the relative absolute strength of the light at each frequency, while the red line represents what the typical human eye would see. The human eye is most sensitive to green light, but much less sensitive to purples and deep reds.

 

Flicker Graph

Graph of measured flicker

Percent: 7%, Index: 0.014 (lower is better in both cases)

Graph notes: Shows variation in light output over 1/10th of a second, with relative light output on the Y axis and time on the X Axis. Measured with a photodiode connected to an Oscilloscope. Ideally the yellow line should be flat. Low frequency high amplitude waveforms mean there is a possibility of noticeable flicker, but sensitivity to flicker varies between people.
