led skyltar

LED lighting is all the rage these days. I often speak with churches who are looking into buying LED fixtures to either add to the functionality of their lighting system, to make maintenance easier, replace old gear, be more efficient or any combination of the above. But I also see a lot of churches who have made poor decisions buying LED fixtures and been disappointed. If you look out into the led skyltar market these days, you will see that it is flooded with lights in all price ranges- literally from $100 to $3000 and above! Which is the right product for you and your congregation?

So can I Buy Cheap LED Lights?

I wish I could just give you a simple, 1 word answer, but I can't. Yes, you can buy the cheapest thing you can find, but you will probably be disappointed. I have seen churches buy led skyltar lights from companies I've never heard of that don't carry much of a warranty. They've been disappointed when, 1 year down the road, some of the units are breaking and not as bright or consistent as they used to be. Cheaper LED lights are often poorly designed and allow heat to dim the LED's early in their life and poor electrical connections can cause units to fail prematurely. If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.

Moving past the negatives, I do advise churches who are looking to get into the entry level to buy less expensive LED's from reputable lighting companies who have been around for some time, such as Chauvet, American DJ and Elation. These companies have great fixtures in the lower price range. They may not be as cheap as others you've seen, but you do get what you pay for! I read late last week of a cheaper, newer name of led skyltar fixtures that is going out of business at the end of this year. That makes it really hard if you need replacement parts in the future or want more matching lights!
