1. eSmart High Power LED Spot 5W warm white
2. Auraglow 7W LED Spot warm white
3. Techlight LED Spotlight 3x2W warm white
To be fair, I must point out that I in some ways apples and oranges (or better Braeburn with Boskoop?) Comparisons, because the angle of the spots are different (60 °, 30 °, 25 °). But I have ignored times.
When unpacking, I notice immediately that the Auraglow and Techlight look absolutely identical, only the print is different. Gaze mer times ...
to 1: eSmart HIGH POWER LED SPOT (330 lm, corr 40W Halo, 5W, 2900K, angle 60 °.):
This LED acts darkest at a distance from the test candidates and never ever replaces 40W halogen as advertised in the description. And although the number of lumens with 330 lm is highest. This is probably due to the larger viewing angle. In addition, the light is greenish / yellowish and I like the worst of the three. By contrast, it is the most favorable with 5W consumption. But whether 5 or 7W you will hardly notice the electricity bill at the end. I would return the most, but not worth it. You get a space in the basement.
to 2: Auraglow 7W LED Spot (320 lm, corr 50W Halo, 7W, 3000K, angle 30 °.):
This LED has excited me really! Very bright - although it seems a little darker in direct comparison with a 50W Halo. The advertising message 50W is therefore not achieved mE. A 40W Halo I had not at hand. The light color is the closest to a halo. Tip! 2 Auraglows illuminate immediately my dartboard.
to 3: Techlight LED Spotlight 3x2W (260 lm, corr 40W Halo, 7W, 3000K, Beam angle 25 °.):
The Techlight looks even brighter than the Auraglow - probably because of whiter light color. Funnily enough, the number of lumens 260 is lower than in Auraglow (320). I did not think that LEDs are already so far developed in the consumer sector. You can easy replace a 50W Halo. Nevertheless, I have decided for irradiating the dartboard for Auraglows because Techlights really are too bright again. For indirect lighting but they are optimal, although the mood is light in the room now become somewhat "colder".
A few upshots:
1. Pay attention to the angle of radiation!
2. I consider the Kelvin values given in the future only as a rough guide. In this test, all candidates have almost identical values (2900-3000), but the colors are extremely different.
3. The lumens specification is apparently sadly to enjoy with caution.
4. In some cases there are no lumens on the packaging, but Candela. I have still not understood the difference.
5. The selection of the light source has become more difficult! All this makes it the poor consumers not easier. All the more important such reviews.
