LED Spotlight bulbs
The colour code is a combination of colour rendering (CRI) and light colour (Kelvin). The first number indicates the colour rendering (1 = very poor colour rendering, 9 = maximum colour fastness). The second and third number contains the light colour. Example: the colour code 830 consists of good colour rendering (8) and warm white light (3000K).
Every bulb or fixture has an energy efficiency class A to G. Energy label A is the most efficient and G the least. LED lighting is the most sustainable lighting technique. Even if a LED bulb is rated E or lower, they still save 70% of energy compared to conventional lighting with the same energy label. Why is it the same label then? To motivate LED brands to get even more durable.
Our all-in warranty is fully included in the product price and covers both hidden defects and technical defects of the product that occurred before delivery. The warranty period differs per product and ranges from 1 year to a maximum of 7 years.
Why choose professional LED spotlights?
Halogen has been phased out since september 2018, meaning that halogen light bulbs won't be produced anymore, so it'd be wise to choose LED spotlights. LED has many benefits.
- You save 90% on energy costs when using LED spotlights
- LED spotlights are flicker free
- LED lasts 10 times longer. So you don't have to replace your spotlights as often!
- LED doesn't contain any toxic substances.
- LED is better for the environment.
Please keep in mind that halogen spots have a standard warm white light colour (2700K - 3000K), whereas LED spots have a much wider range in light colours (1800K - 6500K). If you want to know more about the difference between LED and halogen, you can read more in our blog.
Which LED spots are dimmable?
Every LED spotlight has a dimmable variant. If this is the case, the product's title and specifications indicate whether it is a dimmable variant. The spotlights with a GU10, GU5.3 and G53 are popular among dimmable LED spots. Are you still looking for dimmable LED spots? Take a look at our dimmable spotlights here.
We also have dim-to-warm light sources. Dim to warm means that you can adjust not only the light intensity, but also the light colour. For example: if you dim the lamp, the light colour also changes to, say, 2000K. So you can adjust the lighting to suit the atmosphere in your home.
We also sell smart spotlights, such as smart GU10 LED spots. Besides the dim-to-warm function (+ RGB colours), you can control these LED spots with a remote control or app via a Wi-Fi connection.
How many light sources do I need per room?
How many LED spotlights you need depends on the light output of the light source and the amount of light output a particular room needs. Below, we give an overview of how many lumens you need for various environments:
| Room | Amount of lumen |
| Living room | 300 - 500 lm/m² |
| Kitchen | 300 - 500 lm/m² |
| Bedroom | 300 - 400 lm/m² |
| Bathroom | 500 - 600 lm/m² |
| Office or home office | 500 lm/m² |
| Hallway | 300 lm/m² |
If you want to know more about the right amount of lumen in proportion to the wattage of an LED spots, you can find out more on our Lumens to watts page.
How do I install a professional LED spotlight?
Installing LED spotlights is very easy. When doing so, do pay attention to whether the light source works on 12V or 230V. Do you have an LED spotlight that runs on 12V? Then you need a transformer that converts mains power to 12V. This prevents the LED spotlight from malfunctioning.
But how do you install an LED spotlight? Well, it's quite simple. Do you have a spotlight with two pins at the bottom? Then you push the light source into the fitting and screw it on. Do you have a spotlight with an E14 or an E27 fitting? Then all you have to do is screw it into the fitting.
Can I use LED spots outside and in the bathroom?
If you want to use LED spotlights in the bathroom, it is important that they meet specific requirements because you use the bathroom for different purposes.
- For basic lighting, it is best to use dimmable LED spotlights with 3000K. These can brightly illuminate a bathroom without daylight as well as create a cosy atmosphere in a home spa.
- For mirror lighting, we recommend 4000K spotlights with high colour rendering. This is especially important when applying make-up, as it allows you to see the colours of your make up well in the mirror.
