These LED bulbs provide the most pleasant light

The consumer magazine "saldo" tested the light quality of warm white dimmable LED bulbs. There are differences, particularly in terms of brightness.

At first glance at the "saldo" LED light bulb test, you might think we're just selling you rubbish. The dimmable light bulbs purchased from Galaxus with the light colour "warm white" scored "sufficient" and "insufficient". The fact that we also have three of the products with a "good" rating in our range is not mentioned.

That's what I'm here for.

Here are the three light sources rated "good" by "saldo":

The fine line between cosy and gymnasium lighting

"saldo" has analysed the light quality of light bulbs in particular. Anyone who has ever accidentally bought cold white LED bulbs knows how crucial the light temperature and light quality are. There are only a few Kelvin between pleasant living room light and gymnasium lighting. That's why the quality of light counts for half of what is tested. The other half is made up of efficiency, robustness and brightness. Marks are deducted for bulbs that do not fulfil the promised efficiency. This is also where the test loser (purchased from Galaxus.ch) comes in: A whopping grade deduction because the promised A++ efficiency was clearly missed.

We do not currently have the product tested by "saldo" on sale, which is why it is not linked here.

When I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
