time to replace the incandescent bulbs
0:01
in your chandelier with LEDs let's do it
0:11
Dave Taylor here and this time of taking
0:14
on a home-improvement project this is my
0:16
chandelier and it has incandescent bulbs
0:20
and worse they don't give a huge amount
0:22
of illumination so what we're gonna do
0:24
what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna replace
0:26
them with these these are San C
0:28
candelabra bulbs they're LED and they
0:31
are really rockin bulbs they are the
0:34
equivalent of a 60 watt bulb that draws
0:38
it's dimmable super important to me I
0:41
like all my lights to be dimmable at its
0:43
maximum it's 700 lumens 2700 Kelvin
0:47
which gives it a nice warm white light
0:49
and the color rendering index CRI is 80
0:53
if you know what that is
0:54
and they're instant-on and that's a
0:56
super important one I have some LEDs in
0:58
the house where you turn the light
0:59
switch on and it takes ten or fifteen
1:02
seconds for the light to come on you
1:03
know what I'm talking about
1:04
that's kind of annoying it's dimming it
1:06
comes on it's just dim and it gradually
1:08
gets bright I want lights that
1:10
immediately are whatever level I want
1:12
the illumination that's what these are
1:14
and that's what this is gonna be so it
1:16
has a standard e 12 base so they're
1:19
little candelabra bulbs I'm gonna turn
1:21
this off I'm gonna put in all of these
1:23
LED bulbs and then I'll be right back
1:26
alright they're all in so now I'm gonna
1:29
have to go off-camera to get to the
1:31
light switch which is over there and
1:32
I'll show you how they come on and I'll
1:35
show you the different illumination
1:36
levels let's check it out
1:48
fantastic that worked really well and
1:51
boy they get really bright when I put it
1:53
up all the way that's when I'm getting
1:55
that 700 lumens and I really like it
1:58
it's a nice white light the only
2:01
downside we grabbed one of the other
2:02
bulbs the only criticism I have is that
2:08
here's an old incandescent bulb but it's
2:10
nice and very regular in appearance this
2:13
is the new San C LED bulb and it's just
2:16
not very pretty there's a lot going on
2:18
inside of it for the dimmable and
2:20
obviously it's a more efficient power
2:22
and there's a cooling system so it
2:24
doesn't get too hot but they're just not
2:26
very pretty the good news is that when
2:29
you turn a light on you generally don't
2:30
look at the light you look at what's
2:32
being illuminated so I don't think
2:34
that's going to be an issue in use but
2:36
it would be nice to have maybe something
2:39
over it that would make it look a little
2:41
bit more like these old incandescent but
2:44
other than that is really the only
2:45
criticism I have I mean this has a
2:48
25,000 hour life span which is more than
2:52
the life of this house honestly I don't
2:54
think I'm gonna use this even on and
2:57
never turning it off I'm not gonna use
2:59
this for 25,000 hours and they have a
3:02
five-year warranty so if you have your
3:04
bulb go out in less than 5,000 million
3:07
hours all right 25,000 hours then you
3:10
can contact the company and hopefully
3:11
they'd actually replace it for you how
3:14
now before I tell you the price let me
3:17
just ask can you click on that subscribe
3:18
button so we can continue to stay in
3:21
awesome thank you now how much would you
3:24
pay for these bulbs remembering you'll
3:26
never have to replace them and they're
3:27
gonna use a fraction of the power that
3:30
these old incandescent bulbs used turns
3:32
out that these San C candelabra bulbs go
3:35
in three packs for $23.99 at amazon.com
3:39
that works out to $7.99 a bulb but hold
3:43
on because I have a discount code in the
3:46
description of this video that will give
3:50
you a better price so much better that
3:52
the bulbs work out to be under six
3:54
