TOP 3 best LED lamp manufacturers
TOP 3 best brands
So, we will proceed as follows: we will consider the rating of all the best manufacturers of LED products, after which we will talk a little about other companies that simply did not enter our leading three.
Philips
The Netherlands company Philips is considered to be the best manufacturer of lighting products in the rating, including LED lamps. The brand pays special attention to the design of its bulbs, as you can see by looking at the photo below.
In addition, Philips did a good job on the energy-saving properties of bulbs, their lifespan and, no less important, environmental friendliness. The result is a reliable, durable and at the same time economical light sources that are widely used for LED lighting in homes and apartments. The only drawback of LED products is the high price compared to the cost of other leading manufacturers. But still, as reviews on the Internet show, the LEDs from Philips have already beaten their price after a year and a half of operation.
By the way, this manufacturer produces quite popular today, the so-called smart bulbs. The Philips Hue is capable of turning on and off using the app on your smartphone. In addition, the light bulb can change the brightness of the glow and even work as an alarm clock. Learn more about what constitute smart led bulbs, you can from our article, in which we also made a rating of the best models for 2017.
Osram
The second place in the rating of LED lamps for the home is occupied by products of the Austrian manufacturer - Osram company. This brand was tested by the expert organization Stiftung Warentest, as a result of which the products were awarded such merits as: “The longest service life”, “The greatest energy efficiency”, “Environmental protection”. Indeed, Osram LED lamps are considered one of the best in the world, so for home and apartment their use will be cost-effective.
As for the shortcomings, as in the previous case, the huge disadvantage of LED products is the high cost, which again is a moot point (for a long time the bulbs work, they will quickly pay for themselves)!
Gauss
In the TOP-3 of 2017, no less famous, but already Russian company, Gauss, which uses the latest technology in the production of lighting products, entered. 
If you read the reviews on the Internet, then in addition to the high price you can not find a significant lack of lamps. In the ranking of manufacturers, it can rightfully close the top three, becauseGauss LED bulbs have not only a high level of efficiency, but also an original design, a slight heat, and a long service life. If you want to buy Russian bulbs for the home, but don’t know which ones are better in price and quality, Gauss products will be the best choice!
We also recommend watching video examples that show both good and bad sides of products from well-known manufacturers:
The optimum ratio of price and quality
You probably noticed that in the ranking of manufacturers of LED lamps for the home, all of the listed brands have one significant drawback - high cost. That is why, if you decide to make lighting inexpensive, but of high quality, it is better to choose cheaper products. Find out which LED lamps will be no less good light source for spotlights and chandeliers, you can in this list:
- Optogan (Russia). A company that produces energy-efficient light bulbs with bright LEDs. A good competitor to the Gauss brand, which nevertheless got into the rating, only the price is lower.
- Camelion (China). Fans of Chinese products can use Kamelion lamps in their home, which, oddly enough, are known in the world market and are of relatively high quality.
- Nichia (Japan). The Japanese company is in great demand in the Russian market, which can be seen not only in statistics, but also in reviews on the Internet. There is nothing special about Nichia LED lamps, but at the same time, like its competitors in the price / quality category, you can distinguish good assembly, high efficiency indicators and an inexpensive price.
Well, ending our question about which LED bulbs are better for home and apartment, I would like to talk about those companies whose products have relatively good reliability and low price, but you won’t be able to get into the rating of the best LED lamps of 2017. For a summer residence, in order not to overpay the extra money, it is recommended to choose companies such as Maxus (China) and Svetlana Optoelectronics (Russia). We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with the comparative characteristics of some firms that we have provided in the tables:
We hope that now you know which LED lamps are best for the home and our 2017 manufacturers rating was useful for you! Be sure to make sure that the bulb is original before buying in the store, visually checking the build quality and the warranty period!

Well, overpay for the brand or not, everyone decides for himself. But as an electrical engineer, I made conclusions for myself. The cost of LED lamps is a moot point (there are no warranty workshops for repairing lamps, although such lamps can be successfully repaired). For table lamps, floor lamps and LED sconces are not suitable because of the blue light emitted by them, the distance from the eyes should be at least 40-50 centimeters, the lamps should either have a matte bulb, or be installed in lamps with frosted light diffusers, open LEDs due to their brightness in they cut the retina, and the matte surface reduces the luminous flux by 15-20%, which reduces the energy efficiency of LED lamps. Lamps are really very economical compared to incandescent lamps, but we still do not pay for the reactive power consumed by these lamps. For ceiling lighting of living rooms only lamps with a color temperature of 2500-3000 degrees Kelvin are suitable, and then, provided that three LED lamps have one incandescent lamp with the same luminous flux. Lamps with a ballast driver have High ripple coefficient and suitable only for lighting utility rooms, lamps with electronic driver are also suitable for residential premises, they have a low ripple coefficient, but they interfere in the FM band at a distance of 30-40 centimeters fromlamps. For dimmering, most lamps are not suitable, special lamps are needed, but they are very expensive. LED rulers and ribbons are not suitable for lighting rooms, just for decorating them, it’s impossible to get rid of any tricks, TVs and computers suffer, and create interference even ballast drivers are contrived, in addition to flickering, they also cause interference, because the LED strip serves as a kind of antenna for emitting interference that occurs in the lamp driver, especially the electronic one. Bright LED lamps are not suitable.
Reactive power? In a switching power supply? Read the technical literature, inductance gives reactive power, and in the lamps diodes at the input
Just the technical literature should be read to you. Reactive power is present and the diodes have nothing to do with it. Perhaps this will change your whole life, but the reactive component of the overall power is created by both inductance and capacitance. Learn the materiel.
The information from the latest tables (in the screenshots) that you cited is quite outdated, from 2013. Much has changed, many technical specifications of the equipment have improved, as progress does not stand still: for example, over the past 2.5 years, the light output of the LEDs used in the production has grown from 80-90 lm / W to 120 lm / W.
So it is with ripples. For example, information on the ripple coefficient of the Planta lamps is outdated and at the moment the ripple of the Planta lamp from the Light Guide is:
- less than 9% - for dimmable lamps
- less than 1% - for lamps of constant luminescence (non-dimmable)
The same data are given on the official website and in the product passport.
The lamps passed certification in December 2014, all parameters were confirmed by a certification center.
In addition, Planta dimmable lamps, if there is an incandescent lamp protection circuit in the circuit, will light up smoothly as voltage is applied. I don’t know how anyone, but for me a smooth start is more pleasant than a sharp one.
Thank you for such a detailed review. Now we are just doing the fact that we are updating information in articles!
You got a very interesting review, informative! I would like to ask a question, why didn’t you consider Eleganz lamps? I heard a lot of good things about them.
The fact is that the manufacturer Eleganz is not yet quite popular in the Russian market, in addition, the quality of the lamps is not the highest. We got acquainted at various thematic forums with reviews about these lamps, opinions are strongly divided.
I agree with Anastasia, Eleganz has distribution in Armenia and even sells very well in such a small market.
for a long time the bulbs will quickly pay for themselves ...
Something here with logic
This means that LED lamps are durable and will pay for themselves quickly, because incandescent bulbs burn out several times a year, but then they spent it once and forgot it.
As for longevity, the SD issue is debatable. Now, unfortunately, this is from the category of how lucky.
Let me give you a few examples from personal experience. LL actually remained in the bathroom and toilet (due to the fact that I have a lot of free ones). With a smooth start-up unit, there is enough 3 years.
Further.Kitchen-7 pieces of GL on 12V Osram-for 16 years not a single replacement.
In other rooms, 220V halogens with GIRA and ABB dimmers have been replaced for 8 years.
In the bedroom, frosted glass has been standing for 12 years. 36W OSRAM lamp also never changed a lamp yet.
Only in the bathroom in the mirror for 15 years a couple of G4 halogens recently changed (20 rubles each). This is about durability and payback.
All of the above does not mean that I am an opponent of SD. Not at all.
But use only with mixed lighting.
But the question is, under the frosted glass on the ceiling, there are a couple of 36W dimmable luminaires. I want to replace it. But can 4 LED linear lamps of 10W (800 lm) of the same length be able to replace them?
I do not agree with you. LED lamp burned out quite often. First, the center of the directional lamp burns out, and then the perimeter. So long lasting darkness of the ice lamp is something mythical. I have the whole apartment in LED lamps. From plu to three years, they either burn out or sit down strongly in terms of luminous flux
In a chandelier, in a hall for 4-5 years, 10-watt ECOLA LED lamps (5 pcs.) Are lit. About six months ago, one lamp stopped burning, disassembled and found a "cold" soldering, soldered and everything was normal again. By the way, in lamps, a ballast power supply (capacitor, diode bridge, smoothing capacitance), no radio interference and, in principle, I do not understand what kind of interference from a ballast power supply can be. During the repair, the lamp measured the power consumption - 9.2 watts. Previously, in the chandelier there were incandescent lamps of 5 pieces of 100 watts, in winter (5-6 months) the chandelier burns 5-6 hours a day, for a month 70-80 kW only ONE chandelier !!!!, it’s 250-270 at the price of electricity at the end of 2016. But GLORY to the manufacturers of LED lamps, I spend an order of magnitude less (25-27).
I agree, 50-40 kW, every month at least, but there is interference, especially from replacing fluorescent LEDs on the FM band, but 2 meters away
Hello. Has anyone encountered lamps Turn on? I would like to hear a real review.
I sell lamps in bulk to large end consumers (hundreds and thousands). From the experience of communication with power engineers and from personal - I do not get involved with lamps on which the guarantee is less than 3 years. And I do not advise you.
Just compare features.
ASD, Feron, navigator, jazzway, creonix, space, comtech, pulsar, select, etc. - butor.
I work with juniel, X-flash and Jennied - I and the “end-users” like it, this is a different level. Level even higher - Osram, Philips, Verbatim, Thompson, Supra
gausses were not bad before, now I don’t know, in my opinion they reoriented to the budget sector
There is nothing more to add.
Thank you for such a useful review from an expert!
Tell us about Ecola lamps.
I installed ceilings in the bathroom 3 years ago. Electrical standard Gx53 burned out 3 out of 5.
I want to change the manufacturer.
Not the best in their category, but in principle, optimal in price and quality. Many praise Ecola lamps, positive reviews are often found, so try, why not.
Yuniel disgusting lamps. From personal experience, I bought a lot of them, everyone burned out, as a result I pass by with contempt. It is a pity that these bastards are actively selling their products online, many stores are littered with this slag and only them. In general, they buy from us what they sell, but now they mostly buy the cheapest and low-quality China. As for guarantees, now it’s no longer an indicator, they write from the bulldozer, in reality, units are being contacted for warranty, this is pure, or rather dirty marketing. Well, really, did anyone go to change the lamp under warranty, does it store checks? Well this is not a technique for several hundred thousand, in a week no one will remember where the check is, and half and where they bought it will not be remembered. That's the calculation.
I keep the checks from the lamps in one box from this type of lamp. Places do not take much. Went changed under warranty 3 times! Know the problems! Now the warranty is over, one lamp serves as a donor of LEDs from it I solder and change overdone to others. The savings are huge !!!
He took 2 lamps Grun. We worked for 2-3 months each, burned out. Changed under warranty, the first time for the same Gruny, who again burned ALL, then 2 to the jazzway.
Well, for me personally, Gauss in no competition at home are only bulbs of this company. I heard a lot of complaints that they say these bulbs are dying. Well, I don’t know guys, maybe it depends on the models, in my apartment Gauss MR16 3,5W GU5.3 2700K LD13514 is crammed everywhere
5 years ago, I purchased an ecology of 50 pcs. Everyone is still working. This year, I bought about a hundred more in another room, already 20 burned out in a few months. Tin! Now I’m looking for information on what to buy on similar sites. By the way, with Feron a similar situation has occurred, which suggests that the quality of some manufacturers is decreasing. It's really a pity!
