Choose an open fixture

LED lights cannot handle the heat. They do not become hot on their own, but they must be able to release the heat that they produce. Look closely at the fixture to see if the lamp can lose its heat. 

Lifespan

The LED lamp packaging always shows the lamp life, for example, a certain number of burning hours. Unfortunately, it can happen that the lifetime is not achieved. Many consumers do not know that they have this guarantee. Always save the receipt/invoice if you have purchased new LED lamps. 

LED lights dim

Unfortunately, it is not possible to dim dimmable LED lamps with every dimmer, here you can find more information about LED dimmers. Old dimmers require a minimum wattage. Because LED lamps use relatively little power, this wattage is not achieved. Always pay attention to whether your new LED lights can work together with your dimmer. Or purchase a special LED dimmer then you know for sure that you're in the right place. 

The light color of the LED

There are LED lamps that emit a lot of blue light. This is not officially harmful to health, but it is not recommended to look into the lamp. The chance of eye damage is small, but it is better not to try it out. You can also choose an LED lamp that uses less blue light. If you choose warm white, then the lamp gives almost no blue. The effect on the eyes is then the same as with a normal light bulb. Click here for more information.
