Beyond Screw-in Bulbs
Quality LED retrofits match beam angles and CRI expectations. Cheap discs often create hot spots and odd color fringes.
Transformer Compatibility
Magnetic transformers may need minimum load; electronic units often handle low LED wattage better.
Color and Glare
Warmer 2700–3000K is typical for residential paths; cooler temps suit modern architecture when glare is controlled.
Water Ingress
Respect IP ratings—moisture kills drivers faster than bulbs ever did.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix brands?
Test samples before bulk swaps—optics vary widely.
Do LEDs attract fewer bugs?
Spectrum matters; warmer LEDs generally reduce insect attraction versus cool white.
