Your dimmer is suitable

Your dimmer is suitable

It is advisable to check at home whether your dimmer is suitable for dimming LED lamps. There is a chance that the minimum wattage of your dimmer is much higher than the total wattage of the lamps that you want to dim. Many dimmers (from the hardware store for example) have a lower limit of 20 watts.

If you want to dim 3-5 lamps of 3 watts per lamp and your dimmer has a lower limit of 20 watts, this will not work with your current dimmer. This can cause unpleasant surprises. This may cause the lamps to flash or, in the worst case, the lamp breaks! Therefore, never just buy a random dimmer. Choose a high-quality LED dimmer with the correct wattage as the lower limit and make sure that the lower limit of the dimmer is never higher than the wattage of your LED lamp. If you can't figure it out, we are happy to help you find the right LED dimmer.

Also, the LED lamps, mostly produced in China, have heat management that is not well organized, so that the LED lamp breaks down faster. Moreover, the light output, the color temperature and the color fastness often leave something to be desired. It is therefore advisable to spend a few extra euros and to opt for a high-quality LED lamp from a reputable brand. Click here for more

The light color  Another important aspect that you should pay attention to is the light color of the lamp. LED lamps are available in a wide variety of light colors. To choose the right light color you have to look at the number of Kelvin. The number of Kelvin indicates the color of the light. It is important to know in advance what type of room it is and how you want to illuminate it. If you are looking for a lamp for a living room, for example, it is best to choose a warmer light color, such as 2700k (warm-white). A lamp with a warm-white light color gives a pleasant atmosphere to your space, perfect for a pleasant evening on the couch. Do you want a lot of clear light to work under?

What is the lifespan of an LED lamp Lifespan Handy, those LED lamps in the box of the cash bargains at that blue-yellow Swedish furniture giant where you have just purchased a new hänglåmp. There must, of course, be a lamp in otherwise you have nothing to it. You know what, I buy it right then 5. Then I can replace all other light bulbs right away for this energy-efficient variant.
