If you are planning to purchase any type of panel mount LED lamps for your home, there are a few factors that need to be considered. In this simple buying guide, you will learn about some of the things that you need to look for in order to purchase the right lamps for your applications.
Shapes
LED lamps are available for install in a variety of shapes. The one that you choose will depend on where the installation is planned. If you are going to install the indicator lamp on panels in the bathroom, kitchen or bedroom, the shape of the lights you choose may be different for those you will be installing garden lights.
Energy Efficiency and Brightness
As you may already be aware, LED bulbs use much less energy while producing the same amount of light. If you are interested in getting the most light for your money, you will need to take the time to do a little research on energy efficiency and the amount of light emitted.
The amount of light produced is measured in Lumens whilst the amount of energy is measured in watts. If you want panel mount LED bulbs that are energy efficient look for those that have a greater lumens to watts ratio. In addition, LED products are ideal for use with solar power because of the very low level of energy consumption.
Color Temperature
One of the first things you should look for with any LED lamp is that they emit white light in a variety of shades. Some panel mount LED lamps create a bright white color, while others have more of a blue tint. In addition, there are other lights that appear to have a yellow tint.
The color of LED lamp you choose to install will depend on where you plan to use the light. For instance, if the light is going to be used in a bedroom you will want to look for the ones that emit a soft color. However, if the lamps are going to be installed outdoors you will want those that emit the brightest light possible.
Of course, you do not have to be limited to installing white panel mount LED lights. You can also choose bulbs that emit other colors from red or blue and green or yellow. Panel mount LED lights are available in not only different lens colors, but also different operating voltage as well.
