10 Tips for buying LED Lighting

In this article, we give you 10 tips to help you purchase LED lighting. Many people are curious about the possibilities of LED lights and would like more information. After reading this blog article you will be informed of the latest ins and outs about our LED lamps.

Tip 1. Choose the right type of lamp for your situation

It is important to determine in advance which lamps you need to achieve your goals. You can use the lamps for different purposes so that LED lighting cannot be defined in one direction. For example, LED construction lights are not only used on construction sites, but also as lighting for a work of art, church or backyard. Our other lighting is also used for various things. Curious for what? Then scroll through our blog page.

Tip 2. LED lighting replaces halogen lighting

LED lighting replaces halogen lamps. The old-fashioned halogen lighting often causes unclear and poor light. In addition, these lamps also consume much more energy than LED lights. More and more people are therefore switching to user-friendly and energy-saving LED lamps. The lamps are extremely suitable for saving costs in the long term.

Tip 3. Light colors determine the atmosphere

The LED lighting is available in various light colors. The color temperatures are measured in degrees, also called Kelvin (K). The light colors have a direct influence on the light. The lamps can be supplied in various colors of white. To give an example: a lamp between 2000 - 3000K is seen as warm white light. This light often has a yellow and orange hue. When the temperature is raised, the lamp will go from yellowish white to normal white, until it then starts to turn bluish.

Although the light colors have different names, these colors should not be confused with general colors such as green, yellow, red, orange and purple. The color temperatures in Kelvin are specific to white light.

Tip 4. Think of Lumen and less of Wattage

The light output, expressed in Lumen, is an important aspect when buying LED lighting. The wattage was central to the old-fashioned lighting. Nowadays the wattage is nothing more than the energy consumption of the lamp. The number of Lumens, on the other hand, has become a lot more important. It indicates the light output of a lamp. The Lumen principle works as follows: with a small amount of energy, high light output can be achieved. And the more Lumen a lamp has, the more light output there is.

Tip 5. IP code and water resistance

The IP code (also known as International Protection Code) is used for electronic equipment. The IP rating indicates the degree of safety for an electronic device. Within our webshop, almost all of our lighting has an IP65 rating. This means that the lamps are watertight and are used for different weather types. The lighting can therefore easily be placed outside.

Tip 6. You buy LED lighting for the long term

LED lamps have a very long lifespan, on average, this is between 10-20 years under favorable conditions. This reduces the need to purchase new lamps every time. LED lamps use up to 85% less energy than traditional halogen lighting. In the long term, you will notice this in your wallet.

Tip 7. Choose a good size

Obviously, it is nice to purchase LED lighting, but it is also important to remain realistic. Therefore always check carefully whether the format fits your wishes. You can only invest your money once and it is, therefore, important to make a good choice.

For LED light bulbs it is important to look at the fitting, while for LED Panels it is important to see if the lamps are suitable for suspended ceilings. In short: it is always important to see whether the lighting matches what you have in mind.

Tip 8. Pay attention to the quality marks of LED lighting

When purchasing LED lighting, it is important that you take into account some quality marks and legislation. The RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) quality mark is a European directive that ensures that fewer hazardous substances are used in the electronic manufacturing industry. Every EU member state is obliged to implement this law, including in the Netherlands. The directive falls under the category: 2011/65 / EU.

An important aspect of buying LED lighting is the CE mark. A CE marking must be affixed to a lamp when the product is traded or applied. Without this quality mark, the lighting does not meet the conditional requirements within the Netherlands.

Tip 9. Electric voltage (Voltage)

For LED lighting it is important to see if the electrical voltage (voltage) meets the requirements. This is because the voltage indicates how much energy the electrons need to make a movement to a certain circuit. It is therefore important to check whether the lamps fit into it.

Tip 10. Buy at LEDbouwlampshop.nl!
