What are your favourite brand for LED lighting?

[Rob Steele]

Hi all just wanted some feedback what your best brands are for LED light bulbs, downlights or related products please?

I have found that Aurora & Robus are the big players in the LED market, be good to get your thoughts in terms of quality and costs.

Cheers Rob (forum rookie)

I've tried most makes and find click scolmore inceptor micro to be the best by a long shot. They come with a click and flow connector already fitted, which speeds the install up no end and they are only 50mm deep so fit in most voids

Thanks for the post, good to get feedback

The inceptor micro looks cheap and plasticy. I prefer a good solid metal fitting. I think halers look cheap too, all be it the light output is great! I like the Loxa downlights.

Click range is pretty decent for downlights, jcc not to shabby either

Photonstar make some very very nice fittings.

The ecostar 600 is the small 50W equivalent downlight of theirs which I've never had a problem with.
Their range goes right up to the biggest commercial downlights.

Standard downlights I fit JCC, lamp replacements I use Megaman. If you're working on a tight budget then LEDHut can do you a can and lamp combo for under a tenner that's not too shabby.

But the really fun LED stuff comes in RGBW form, or CREE, at a few hundred pounds per fixture or even a few thousand when you stick it into a stage fixture.

Take a look at this : I Don't Care (The X Factor) - Cheryl - Video Dailymotion to see what can be done with LED's when you try! (Please, do NOT look at the scraggy pathetic attempt to perform from the 'artiste' on stage, just look at the lights.)

Really.

Their stuff is excellent and don't forget, when "selling" them to the client that if you are a registered installer, they can have a 10 year warranty (as long as they are logged by serial number on their system).

JCC are great if downlighters, Robus great for surface LED wall lights and also okay for downlighters, JCC are IMO the market leader regarding quality and price combined. Illuma another quality product.

JCC are great for downlighters.

Here Mike, how do you find the 'colour' and brightness of JCCs?

 

[Guest77]

I only use the cool white colour 840 lamps mate, and they do the job in kitchens and corridors very well, look pleasant and last a long time.

Cheers Cock, that's good enough for me!

Hi is their a big difference in brightness between Robus or JCCs LEDs?
