Can’t keep up with the latest LED lighting technology? Are you getting the wrong advice? Don’t understand the equivalence between watts and lumens? The LED market has grown considerably in recent times, and has also diversified considerably. When it comes to choosing LED lamps, buyers are often faced with a range of products whose technical differences, and the reasons behind the price differences, are totally unknown to them. Here are a few points to help you understand what you’re buying more precisely.
LED lighting that makes all the difference!
Good quality LED lighting often offers the following advantages:
- Reflectors identical to those used in halogen lamps limit unnecessary light dispersion
and optimising the impact of the light from different angles. - Very high-efficiencyintegrated heatsinks.
- Very high qualityintegrated diodes.
- No difference in colour from one LED lamp to another.
- Installation of very high-levelinternal insulators and LED control components → increased lifetimes.
- Products made from aluminium alloys that are more resistant than plastic products.
- Can be switched on instantly – they don’t flicker!
However, you need to be careful about the compatibility of LED lamps. Some lower quality products can be difficult or even impossible to install in your home… Ask a lighting specialist for advice before taking the plunge.
How do you choose the right LED lighting? What questions do I need to ask before choosing?
To help you choose the right quality LED lighting for your needs, first answer a few questions:
- What is my current lighting source? Low-voltage 12V halogen? 230V halogen? TL fluorescent tubes? Discharge lamps? Do you already have LEDs but want to replace them with new, more efficient equipment?
- Is there already an alternative solution in the form of a simple replacement with an LED lamp or should I consider completely replacing my current luminaire in order to reduce my energy consumption?
- Can LEDs significantly improve the quality, colour and general level of illumination in my display or showroom? What are my specific needs and requirements in terms of lighting?
- Are all areas of my store lit correctly? Evenly lit?
- Is it possible to improve the profitability of a shopping area by improving its lighting?
