4 Tips When Purchasing LED Lighting

If you want to switch to LED lighting, then, first of all, you are doing very well. Secondly, it is also good to pay attention to a number of things when buying LED lighting.

The fitting

First, it is good to look at the fitting or the type of LED lamp. This is very important to determine which type of LED lamp you need to purchase. In the Netherlands the with the thick threaded socket is the most common, closely followed by the with thin threaded socket, which is often for sale in the form of a candle lamp. With spotlights, the fitting is the one that occurs the most. The lights under the kitchen cupboards are of lights, yet handy to know so that you can pay attention to that.  If the fitting you are looking for is not in the range or if there is a nice lamp that does not fit in the fitting, it is advisable to use a converter as an aid. This allows you to easily convert the current fitting into the fitting that you need for the lamp in question.

LED fluorescent lighting

If you are going to replace fluorescent lighting with an LED fluorescent tube, all you have to do is see if it is fluorescent lighting. The has a  fitting and is by far the most common fitting. A newer type of fluorescent tube is the. This is thinner than the.

The light color

Another tip you should pay attention to is the light color. The light color of LED lighting is expressed in Kelvin (K) and the following applies: the higher the number of Kelvin, the colder the color will be. A lot of 2700K is used in houses. You can best compare this color with the halogen lamp. There are people who prefer extra warm light, such as 2200K. This warm, almost orange light resembles that of a candle.

Dimmability of LED lighting

An LED lamp is not always dimmable. That is why it must always be specified in the product name specifications or text. Is it not there? Then you can safely assume that the LED lamp in question is not dimmable. But if you do want a dimmable LED lamp then it is good to check whether the lamp will work on a phase-cutting or phase-cutting LED dimmer. All these lamps work as standard on the phase-cut, which is the most economical version.  If you do not want dimmable LED lighting, that is fine too, all LED lamps simply work with an on / off switch, but it is useful to check whether the same lamp is also available in a non-dimmable variant, which is cheaper to buy.
