Frequently asked questions
Should I shop by lumens or watts?
Lumens — they measure brightness. Watts only tell you energy use. See the Lumens vs Watts guide.
What colour temperature should I use?
Warmer (2700–3000K) for living areas, cooler (4000–5000K) for kitchens, garages, and workshops. Full breakdown in the colour temperature guide.
Why do my new LEDs flicker?
Usually dimmer or bulb compatibility — see the LED flicker guide before buying replacements.
Do you carry commercial lighting?
Yes — high-bay, wallpack, and panel options for warehouses, retail, and facilities.
Shop lighting, or send us your room photos and we'll suggest fixtures and bulbs.
