Switch from Halogen to Mulmil LEDs: Softer Light, Massive Savings
Halogens are harsh, hot, and power-hungry. Mulmil’s high-efficiency LED bulbs deliver a warm, inviting glow while cutting energy use dramatically and lasting for years.
~80% Less Energy* Up to 25,000h Life Low Heat Output Warm ≤3000K Options High Lumen/Watt
TL;DR: Replace 40W halogen “60W-equivalent” bulbs with ~8W Mulmil LEDs for the same brightness (about 800 lumens). You’ll cut energy use by roughly 80%, reduce heat, and get a far longer service life.
Why LEDs Beat Halogen (Everyday Benefits)
- Energy: LEDs deliver far higher lumens per watt, so they use much less power for the same brightness.
- Comfort: Softer, warm-tone options (≤3000K) are easy on the eyes.
- Heat: LEDs run cool compared to halogen, easing AC load and safety concerns.
- Lifespan: Quality LEDs are rated up to 25,000 hours, reducing replacements.
Value Tip: For living rooms/bedrooms, choose 2700–3000K, CRI ≥90 for natural colours. Kitchens/studies can use neutral (3500–4000K) for a crisper feel.
Halogen vs Mulmil LED (Same Brightness ~800 lm)
| Metric | Halogen Bulb | Mulmil LED Bulb | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power | ~40W | ~8W | ~80% energy reduction for same light |
| Annual energy (3 h/day) | ~43.8 kWh | ~8.8 kWh | Lower bills; easier on backup power |
| Heat output | High (very hot to touch) | Low (runs cool) | More comfort; less AC load near fixtures |
| Rated life | ~2,000 h typical | Up to 25,000 h | Fewer replacements, less e-waste |
| Colour quality | Good (warm), but inefficient | CRI ≥90 options (warm/neutral) | Natural colours with efficiency |
Assumptions: ~800 lm “60W-equivalent.” Annual hours ≈ 1095.
Exact Specs to Buy (Copy/Paste into PDPs)
- Brightness: Pick by lumens (e.g., ~800 lm replaces a 60W incandescent/≈40W halogen).
- Energy: Target ≤9W for ~800 lm (high efficacy).
- Colour & CRI: 2700–3000K for cosy rooms (CRI ≥90); 3500–4000K for kitchens/studies.
- Dimming: If needed, choose “dimmable” and pair with LED-compatible dimmers.
- Build: BIS-registered/IS 16102 compliant; warranty 2–3 yrs.
How to Make the Switch (10-Minute Checklist)
- List rooms with halogens (living, bedrooms, kitchen, study).
- Match bases (E27/B22) and pick lumens (e.g., ~800 lm).
- Select CCT: 2700–3000K cosy, 3500–4000K crisp.
- If you dim, choose “dimmable” LEDs + LED-rated dimmer.
- Install & recycle old bulbs responsibly.
Pro tip: Start with the most-used fixtures for fastest payback.
FAQs
Do LEDs really save ~80% vs halogen?
Yes—because LEDs produce far more lumens per watt. A ~8W LED can match a ~40W halogen at ~800 lm.
How long will my LED last?
Quality consumer LEDs are commonly rated up to 25,000 hours. That’s many years in normal home use.
Are LEDs dimmable?
Many are. Look for “dimmable” on the box and use LED-compatible dimmers to avoid flicker or buzz.
Will LEDs make rooms cooler?
They emit much less heat than halogen/incandescent, so fixtures and nearby air stay cooler.
