In the interior of modern apartments and offices, you can often find the so-called spotlights. They are now used by almost all designers. Spotlights for LED lamps are installed both in suspended ceilings and in drywall constructions. They are used for lighting rooms, highlighting niches and other design solutions. It is not a secret that a well-directed stream of light radically changes the whole look of a room, makes it much more comfortable and even more spacious. All places of installation of such lamps are united by one thing - inaccessibility and poor ventilation. These factors affect the requirements for the bulbs that will be used in this type of device. The main condition is the operating temperature. Since ventilation, as noted above, leaves much to be desired, the lamps should have minimal heat to avoid the risk of fire.
LED lamp advantages
LED lamps for spotlights shine brightly, while consuming little electricity and heat up no higher than 50 degrees. They are also compact, have a long MTBF. The light emitted by the elements in question is close to the solar spectrum, it is pleasing to the eyes. LED lamps for spotlights work more than 50 thousand hours, thus being the most economical among other fixtures (2 W instead of 50 W). In addition, they do not require service, have a high color rendering index. They represent a worthy replacement for other types of lamps for spotlights of the same class.
However, not all LED lamps for spotlights are suitable as the main sources of lighting. This is due to the fact that some manufacturers use an insufficient number of LEDs (18-21 pcs.) Per device, while a lamp with 38 diodes and above is a good option. Such instances are optimal in terms of price and quality. In general, there are devices with 48 and 60 elements, but their cost is much higher. The question arises before the consumer: “Which LED lamps for spotlights are better to purchase - with fewer diodes and not bright enough or powerful, but expensive?” You decide. And to quickly determine, let's look at the cons of LEDs.
LED lamps for spotlights. disadvantages
The main disadvantage is the rather high price of such lamps. Some experts believe that the product life cycle established by the manufacturer is greatly overestimated. In fact, on the shelves of stores you can find a huge number of manufacturers of LED lamps, among them there are both companies that have proven themselves on the positive side, and are unknown to anyone. The prices of lamps are also different, and the spread can be hundreds of rubles. It will only depend on the buyer which product they will take: from a trusted brand or a pig in a poke. The next drawback that increases the cost of the elements under consideration is that it is recommended to operate such lamps with special power sources. On the one hand, this is an additional (possibly unforeseen) cost, and on the other hand, such a device will extend the life of your lamps, protect them from surges and voltage drops in the mains.
