Quality assurance
There are varying standards of quality to look out for when buying LED products.
Low-grade LED chips, and un-branded Chinese LED chips, may deliver inconsistent light output. Inferior drivers will result in unreliability, flickering, burn out or high rates of failure with these lamps. The smaller or cheaper the heat sink, the lower its ability to keep the LED cool, which affects lifespan and smooth-running.
As a rule of thumb, the cheaper the LED lamp, the poorer the quality of components used. And the greater the chance that the lamp won't last 50,000 hours, will lose brightness considerably with age or fail. With LEDs it's true to say 'you get what you pay for!'
Seven reasons why our LED lamps are better
- We only use leading LED chips in all our functional LED lamps: CREE, Epistar, Bridgelux and Nichia 'super' chips. These are the brightest on the market.
- We use premium powerful drivers, which have both load and short circuit protection, safeguarding the lamp from power spikes or unstable circuitry.
- Our lamps have specific colour temperatures - essential for commercial applications and environments where colour-rendering is imperative - so colour consistency is assured.
- We incorporate extensive heat sinks into our products. The brighter the light output achieved, the larger the heat sink for optimal performance of the LED chip and the driver(s).
- Our LED solutions are designed to simply 'retro-fit' into your existing fittings as a direct replacement. It's as simple as plugging in a new bulb.
- Our LED lamps switch on immediately, unlike CFLs, sodiums or metal halides.
- LED ECO Lights specialise in LED lamps at the premium-end of the market. We therefore confidently offer a five year guarantee on the majority of our products.
As with any electrical product, minimal failures are inevitable. Should any of our lamps fail within the guarantee period, we will happily replace it at no additional cost (excluding p&p).
