How to choose suitable LED shop lights?

LED shop lights are a type of LED lights commonly used in shops, garages, workshops, warehouse, etc. It has most partly replaced traditional fluorescent lights in the business world due to its environmental benefit, high efficiency, energy saving and durability.

4 factors need to consider

As mentioned, LED shop lights have higher luminous efficiency than fluorescent lights and incandescent bulb light . Using Lightdot LED shop lights as an example, 50W LED shop lights equals 400W fluorescent lights, with a brightness of 7000 lm and an efficacy of 1400 lm/W. The efficiency of fluorescent lights is less than half of that of LED shop lights. You can find LED shop lights with different levels of brightness on the market and purchase 20W, 30W, 40W, or higher power lights based on your specific needs to satisfy your lighting needs for various spaces. Of course, whether the lights satisfy your lighting needs depends on illuminance. The IES file will inform you of the brightness and ranges of illumination for lights with specific power at different levels.

In workplaces, the color temperature of the lights tends to be higher and energize people. Take the place where the lights are installed into consider when choosing LED shop lights.
