Basic things to know about LED lamps
Performance of an LED lamp is the result of 3 groups of components:
 1. Optical LED components 2. Electrical LED components 3. Mechanical and thermal LED components
Performance indicators are: - Brightness: output (Lumen) and efficacy (Lumen/Watt) - Color: color temperature and color consistency - Lifetime: LED source vs. LED lamp - Light distribution: directional (Candela) and omni-directional (Lumen)
