11W Warm White Globe Review

General Information

ID #355
SKU 1000603
Series N/A
Manufacturer Mirabella (other LEDs from Mirabella)
Fitting Type B22 (other B22 LEDs)
Light Type Globe
Height 115mm
Width 60mm
Weight 138g
Warranty 1 Years
Test Date 2015-10-22
Review Notes Warranty details, CRI and rated lifetime are not stated by manufacturer. Assumed 15,000 hours rated lifetime. Average efficiency, no flicker. Runs a little hotter than we would like. Claimed 1000 Lumens on the box, but then, in the fine print, stated "Lumens may vary". Which we assume means they know they are publishing fake performance claims.

Distribution Graph

Angle: 209° (±104.5° from bottom), Maximum lux:

Graph notes: Shows the intensity of the light when viewed from different angles. Normal omni-directional globes have a fairly constant output all the way around (excepting directly above). Downlights have a narrow range at the bottom in which the light is emmited, this determines their angle.

 

Spectrum Graph

Representation of color spectrum

Graph notes: Shows the breakdown of the LED light into its component colors. With short wavelength ultraviolet on the left and long wavelength infrared on the right. The green line represents the relative absolute strength of the light at each frequency, while the red line represents what the typical human eye would see. The human eye is most sensitive to green light, but much less sensitive to purples and deep reds.

 

Flicker Graph

Graph of measured flicker

Percent: 3%, Index: 0.001 (lower is better in both cases)

Graph notes: Shows variation in light output over 1/10th of a second, with relative light output on the Y axis and time on the X Axis. Measured with a photodiode connected to an Oscilloscope. Ideally the yellow line should be flat. Low frequency high amplitude waveforms mean there is a possibility of noticeable flicker, but sensitivity to flicker varies between people.
