Choose by lumens (brightness), the right cap and a colour that suits the room, from a known brand. The grid fails on its own schedule, and your fence, cameras and lights go with it. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Choose by lumens, not watts. - Check the cap: E27 or B22. - Warm white for homes; cool white for work areas. Quick answer LED bulbs use much less power than old bulbs. Pick brightness by lumens rather than watts, the correct cap (E27 screw or B22 bayonet), and a colour temperature that suits the room: warm white for living areas, cool white for kitchens, offices and shops. Cheap unbranded bulbs often fail early or flicker, so buy from a seller that states the brand and guarantee.

Lumens measure brightness; watts measure power use. Compare bulbs by lumens. Why does my LED bulb flicker? A poor driver, a dimmer that is not LED-compatible or a loose fitting. Do LED bulbs save money? They use far less power than older bulbs and last longer, so they usually pay back. Can LED bulbs work on solar? Yes; efficient bulbs suit solar and inverter setups. ## Why customers choose Qyvea **Genuine brands**: Manufacturer warranty on what we sell, so you are not gambling on the box. **One team, start to finish**: The people who advise you also install and support it. **Fast answers**: WhatsApp replies usually within 30 minutes, and delivery within 24 hours in Nairobi. **Easy to buy**: Pay by M-Pesa, bank transfer or card.
