The range of LED lamps is huge, making it difficult to determine which lamps are the best choice. Sometimes it is difficult to make a choice because of the large selection. Especially if you don't have a clue about the different terms you encounter. We have listed a number of tips for you that you should pay attention to when purchasing LED lighting.

Reliability of the supplier
It is important that you only purchase LED lighting from a reliable supplier. There are a lot of different webshops with LED, but the quality does sometimes vary. A good benchmark is the presence of reviews on the webshop. The Feedback Company independently indicates how reliable a supplier is. Also, look at the presence of different payment methods and quality marks on the website. 

Watt and lumen
LED generally gives much more light than a standard light bulb. This is the reason that the light output is not only expressed in watts but also lumen. A 50 Watt incandescent lamp is in LED 5W and emits 450 lumens of light.

Light color
LED is available in various light colors. In the beginning, an LED lamp was only available in a cool white light color. If you do not like this, you can now choose a different light color. The light color is always specified in the specification. For example, choose warm white if you want the same light color as a regular glow lamp.
