    1. Lumens:

    The lumen (lm) is the real measurement of brightness provided by a light bulb, and is the number you should look for when shopping for LED's. For reference, here's a chart that shows the watt-lumen conversion for incandescents and LED's.

    2. Choose Best Color:

    You can always count on incandescents providing a warm, yellowish hue. But LED's come in a wide range of colors. The popular colors available for LED's are "warm white" or "soft white" and "bright white.

    3. Savings expectations:

    When switching to LED bulbs, don't expect to save buckets of cash. Instead, think of it as an investment. Luckily, competition has increased and LED bulbs have come down in price, but you should still expect to pay much more than an incandescent

    4. Select Right Dimmable LED:

    When shopping for LED's, it helps to know what kind of dimming switch you have, but if you don't know (or would rather not go through the trouble), simply search for LED bulbs compatible with standard incandescent dimmers.

    5. Plan for placement:

    You probably know that LED bulbs run dramatically cooler than their incandescent cousins, but that doesn't mean they don't produce heat. If an LED bulb is placed in an enclosed housing, the heat won't have anywhere to go, sending it right back to the bulb, and sentencing it to a slow and painful death.Consider where you'd like to place your LED bulbs. If you have fully or semi-enclosed fixtures you need to light up, look for LED's that are approved for recessed or enclosed spaces.
