Quick Selection Checklist

STEP BUYER CHECK WHY IT MATTERS
01 Bulb Size & Base Ensure the LED fits the fixture
02 Voltage Avoid compatibility problems
03 Lumens Match brightness requirements
04 Color Temperature Create the right atmosphere
05 Dimming Ensure smooth adjustment
06 Supplier Capability Secure stable supply

1. Match the Correct Bulb Type

G4 LED — Decorative lights, chandeliers and cabinet lighting.

G9 LED — Crystal lamps, wall lamps and decorative fixtures.

GU10 LED — Spotlights and commercial lighting.

MR16 LED — Low-voltage lighting systems.

2. Select the Correct Voltage

Confirm whether the application requires AC/DC 12V, DC 12V, AC 120V or AC 220–240V. Correct voltage selection helps reduce flickering, failure and compatibility issues.
APPLICATION TYPICAL VOLTAGE
Low-voltage decorative lighting AC/DC 12V
Furniture or cabinet lighting DC 12V / DC 24V
Commercial replacement lighting AC 120V or AC 220–240V

3. Brightness & Color Temperature

Brightness should be measured by lumens, not only wattage. Consider fixture size, lighting purpose and required brightness.

COLOR APPLICATION
2700K Warm White Hotels, homes, decorative chandeliers
3000K Soft White Modern interiors, hospitality
4000K Natural White Retail stores, offices
6000K Cool White Bright environments

4. Dimming Compatibility

A dimmable LED system depends on the complete combination:

LED Bulb + Driver + Dimmer

Always confirm compatibility before bulk purchasing.
