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?
