LED lighting is suitable for almost every area in and around the home: from a baby night light to a smart LED bulb, from outdoor lighting on the balcony to a bicycle rear light. With such a wide range available, comparing products is important. A low price or striking design says little about ease of use, light output or whether the product is suitable for the space.
Wattage indicates how much electrical power a lamp uses, but it does not directly tell you how bright the light is. You should also check the lumen (lm) rating. A 170-lumen lamp is mainly suitable for ambient lighting, while an 806-lumen smart bulb provides more light for a room or workspace.
The IP rating is important for outdoor lighting. IP44 means protection against splashing water, but not against immersion or powerful water jets. A lamp with IP65 offers better protection against dust and water jets. Also check whether the lamp is intended for sheltered outdoor use or prolonged exposure to rain.
An RGB lamp with millions of colours, a remote control or app control may sound appealing. However, these features are not always necessary for a night light, reading lamp or table lamp. Think about how the lamp will be controlled, charged and positioned before you buy. A dimmable lamp with a simple touch button may be more practical than a model that requires you to open an app every time.
Colour temperature is expressed in Kelvin (K):
Also check the lumen count. For a night light, a low light level is often more comfortable than bright main lighting. According to the product description, the VIVREAL Panda Night Light has three dimming levels and touch control. This makes it possible to adjust the brightness for, for example, a child’s bedroom or night-time care.
A rechargeable lamp means you do not have to replace loose batteries regularly, but pay attention to the details:
A solar table lamp is handy on a patio with plenty of daylight. In winter or when there is little sunshine, USB charging may be more practical. The Brilliant Viani uses both solar power and USB-A and has an integrated 18650 Li-ion battery.
For damp areas and outdoor use, check the IP rating. For indoor lamps such as floor lamps or pendant lights, the fitting, dimensions, cables and installation requirements are particularly relevant. An E27 lamp uses a common fitting, but a bulb is not always included.
Stability is especially important for a lamp intended for children. Check that small parts cannot be reached and follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions. According to the product information, the VIVREAL panda lamp is intended for indoor use. The manufacturer also states that the lamp must be kept away from high temperatures and fire, and must not be immersed in water. Adult supervision is recommended.
Why it suits this profile: A simple night light for babies, toddlers or children, with a recognisable panda design and touch control. The lamp does not need to be installed.
The product description mentions three dimming levels and a rechargeable battery. This means you do not have to focus solely on the appearance or disposable batteries.
1200mAh rechargeable battery, touch control, three light settings and silicone housing according to the product information.
Why it suits this profile: For anyone looking for a stylish table lamp for a balcony, patio, garden or damp indoor area, with the choice of solar or USB power.
The IP44 rating is not presented as waterproof: the safety information states that immersion and direct water jets should be avoided.
170 lumens, warm white light at 3000 K, three dimming levels, solar and USB charging, and two mounting heights.
Why it suits this profile: For cyclists looking for a rechargeable rear light with several mounting options and a housing designed for use in changing weather conditions.
The specifications state IP65, USB-C charging and a 700mAh battery. However, check your local traffic regulations and use the light as a supplement to any compulsory bicycle lighting.
Brake sensor, motion alarm, USB-C, IP65 protection and mounting with a bracket, cable ties or adhesive tape.
We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
This depends on the wattage, the number of hours the lamp is on and the electricity price. An 8,7-watt lamp uses less electricity per hour than a 60-watt lamp. Therefore, compare the wattage with the light output in lumens. A lower wattage is not automatically sufficient if you need more brightness.
The lifespan varies depending on the model and operating conditions. According to the product specifications, the TP-Link Tapo L530E has a normal lifespan of 15.000 hours. With integrated LED lamps, the light source often cannot be replaced by the user. Check this before buying a lamp for a hard-to-reach location.
Only if the product information permits it and the IP rating is suitable for the intended use. IP44 is suitable for splashing water and sheltered areas, while IP65 offers greater protection against dust and water jets. A solar table lamp, Christmas lights or other outdoor lighting must never be immersed unless the manufacturer explicitly states that it can be.
