LEDs are flooding the lighting market. You can find them in big name stores like Target and Walmart. But are they the highest quality LED out there? LED prices are dropping, but it’s important to know if products are lower in quality as well as lower in price. Here are 4 questions to ask and consider when shopping for LED lighting to help you determine the difference between a quality LED light and a cheap LED light.
 
1. Consistent Color
LEDs are capable of producing colors on all ends of the spectrum. The best lighting option for your home or business is either a soft, yellow hue or a bright, white hue. While light color is up to your personal preference, it’s important that all of your LED lights are consistent in color. Quality LED lights of the same color temperature will all look consistent in color when installed. Lower quality LED lights will be inconsistent in color, even if they are marketed as the same color temperature. When looking for LED lights, ask to see them installed to check for color consistency.
 
2. Thermal Management System
A huge part of determining a LED’s quality is how the bulb manages heat. LEDs give off less heat than your typical incandescent or fluorescent light, but they create heat all the same. In order to live out their 50,000+ hour lifespan, they must effectively and efficiently pull heat away from the LED. Quality LED lights use metal heat sinks with fins to pull away and store the heat the light produces. Cheaply made LEDs may use fans or plastic heat sinks to try and pull heat away. These methods of managing heat are more likely to fail, lowering your light’s life expectancy.
