What you need to know about LED lamps

LED lamps can offer 50,000 hours of use if they are engineered correctly according to Futronix.com. You may have seen LED lamps referred to as ‘Solid State Lighting’. This is because they are manufactured from solid materials. Another key benefit of using LED lamps is that they light instantaneously, so you don’t need to wait for a warm-up period to elapse. They can output up to 135 lumens per watt and aren’t affected by cold temperatures. You can also move the bulbs to direct light where you want it. One thing you really do need to be aware of is the fact that not all LED lamps can be dimmed. You must check that the lamp is actually dimmable before you make a purchase, so look at the packaging before you proceed. Even if the packaging does state that a lamp is dimmable, this doesn’t always mean that the performance will be fantastic.
