Wow, that was an entire college course in less than 14 minutes! The engineer in me appreciates your effort to pragmatically explain these features.

Thanks! I really appreciate the comment.

You are very knowledgeable and clear explaining. One of the most helpful channels on KZfaq I'd say. Great job! I sell & design lighting and chime in every once in awhile to answer questions that you haven't yet, hope you don't mind

The only common lamp with a CRI of 100 is the standard incandescent bulb. The highest CRI for LED lamps are still in the 90’s range. At some point in the near future, they may develop an LED lamp with a CRI of 100, or very close to it. LED technology is still emerging and has a long way to go. Hopefully all the current problems plaguing LEDs will one day become a thing of the past (such as premature driver failure, people becoming more knowledgeable of the limitations of LED lamps, etc.).

Good Day, after watching many of your videos regarding Kelvins vs Lumens I still have a problem. We are using MR16 LED 4.5 warm white 2700K. They still appear to be TOO BRIGHT. What can we do to reduce this brightness? Thanks, Bill

@aklighting8292 2 ай бұрын

Kelvins = color. Lumens = brightness. If it's too white looking, then get a 2200kelvin color. If its too bright, then reduce the wattage or get a dimmer.

Led modules are decent and better than integrated since warranty on them is usually same as lamps for the whole fixtures vs 5 for an led drop in & 10+ years for the fixtures usually for less money than many integrated also

Any suggestions for colored mr16 and G4 for holidays? Don’t really need top notch as it’s not my primary bulbs but been hard to find G4s specifically

@kenperry7723 Жыл бұрын

Halco makes rgbw mr16 & g4 that use Bluetooth which seems to be better for lamps than wifi

Hey I just subscribed. I heard you talking about color LEDs and a data wire. I'm very familiar with RGBWW LEDs, I have them in my front yard, but they're actually deck lights that I've modified and they all are the same color. I'm interested in individually addressable RGBWW LEDs and I haven't really seen many products with that so I'm preparing to embark on making them myself. Have you seen anything that's not lux tier before I drive myself crazy?

Hey! Look into Haven Lights and Luxor from FX Luminaire. I haven't gotten into the color side of landscape lighting, but these two companies are the only ones I know that specifically make lighting systems for color LED.

@keithcroshaw 3 жыл бұрын

@@aklighting8292 Thanks for pointing those out. Haven Lights looks the part but I'm on a Ramen budget. I feel I could buy the guts for under quarter the price, the challenge is either building a housing or repurposing cheap housings on clearance maybe on the cheap. I also want it to be repeatable so I don't want to rely on clearance lights as empty bodies. If I ever make one I'll reply to one of your videos.

Halco makes rgbw BT mr16s & g4 that will go into many cheaper fixtures to replace current lamp and color change control is all in app

I use AMP for my installs because of the ease of purchasing and affordability but I heard the bulbs are lousy. Who can I use to upgrade this? SiteOne?

@aklighting8292 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, they do make everything really easy. I use them too! I personally use Emery Allen bulbs. Such amazing bulbs.

@kenperry7723 Жыл бұрын

Siteone has pro trade lamps which are great price for 5 yr warranty. Also usually Brilliance but cost more than double. You get what you pay for but good options at most stores

I have 20k to start, I'm creative i worked in 4 houses i know how everything works THE ONLY THING I'M SCARED I'M NOT GOOD IN ENGLISH AND I GET ANXIOUS WHEN I TRY TO PRESENT PRODUCKT TO THE COSTUMERS it's not fair this stopping me to start this business 😒

@aklighting8292 2 жыл бұрын

Honestly, if you have things set up in place such as a website, email sequence, or a way to show pictures of what you do, you'll do fine. Most people don't "trust" sales people if they don't have enough materials to back up their quality and their professionalism. You can do it! You don't have to be amazing at speaking English...well I guess I can only speak for Texas. Here in Texas I think half of businesses are run by people where English is their second language. Again, you got this! I think the biggest issue is making sure you have enough ways to keep getting leads so you stay in business.
