The LED branding game, LED chip vs LED light source
The brands in the LED market are:
And if a product uses LEDs from one of these brands it has a certain quality guarantee. Therefore, one of the most common questions buyers of LED light ask is:
"What LEDs are used in your product?"
If the answer is for example "We use Cree" then the buyer assumes the product is of very good quality from the point of view of the LED used. Wrong.
Such an answer is vague and it does not ensure the buyer of anything because a producer of LED lamps or fixtures might be using Cree Chips or actual Cree LEDs.
If we uses Cree Chips (see below where the Chip is inside the LED) it means he buys these chips from Cree and builds an LED with them at a 3-rd party. In such case, from our experience the quality of the LED light source is most likely substandard.
Only if the producer uses actual Cree LEDs, which we can find on the manufacturer website we can be sure about the high quality of the LED light source. Below, a picture of Cree XP-G 2.
