Question 1

Should I buy an integrated LED fixture or a fixture that takes a replaceable LED bulb?

Accepted Answer

Integrated LED fixtures, such as panel lights and battens, have the LEDs built in. They are slimmer and usually more efficient, but the whole unit has to be replaced when the LEDs or driver fail. Fixtures with a B22 or E27 holder let you swap the bulb cheaply, which suits areas where you may want to change brightness or colour later. On LedDisplay you can filter fixtures by type and compare warranty periods, which matter more for integrated models.

Question 2

How do I choose between a recessed and a surface-mounted LED panel light?

Accepted Answer

Recessed panels need a false ceiling of gypsum or POP with enough depth above it, and you must cut a hole matching the cut-out size printed on the box. Surface-mounted panels screw directly onto a concrete ceiling, so they work in rented homes or rooms without a false ceiling. Cut-out sizes vary between brands even at the same wattage, so check the exact figure on LedDisplay's product specs before ordering a replacement.

Question 3

What wattage LED fixture do I need for a 10x12 ft bedroom?

Accepted Answer

A 10x12 ft room (about 11 sq m) needs roughly 1,500–2,000 lumens for general lighting. That usually works out to one 20W LED batten or two 10–12W panel lights. Compare lumen output rather than wattage alone, because efficiency differs between brands, and LedDisplay lists lumens and lumens-per-watt where manufacturers provide them.

Question 4

What IP rating should an LED fixture have for a bathroom or outdoor use?

Accepted Answer

For bathrooms, choose a fixture rated at least IP44 so it can handle splashes and steam. For balconies, gate lights, and outdoor walls exposed to monsoon rain, IP65 or higher is recommended. Many low-cost fixtures carry no IP rating at all, so use LedDisplay's filters to shortlist only rated products and compare their prices across sellers.
