About Me

I was one of those kids who had all sorts of lighting gadgets — plasma globes, colour-changing lights stuck on my bicycle wheels, you name it. Every cool lighting accessory I could get my hands on. When I moved into my own place, I realised how much lighting shapes a room — and how little good guidance was out there. So I built LEDLightingInfo.com to be the resource I wish I'd had

Mission: Cut through the bad, jargon-filled lighting advice, and give you clear, honest guidance you can actually trust

Values: Honesty • Clarity • Accountability • Usefulness

My Story

I started LEDLightingInfo.com in 2015, after the third time I asked a hardware-store clerk a technical question about LED bulbs and got a confidently wrong answer. A decade later, I'm still writing.

I'm not an electrician — I'm a software engineer. That sounds like a weird background for a lighting site, until you notice most LED advice online has the same problem as bad code: untested claims passed around until they become "facts."

I read manufacturer spec sheets the way I read API docs — line by line, comparing them against what I can actually measure, looking for the edge cases vendors don't put on the box.

What I do have: ten years of using LED bulbs in my own home, the patience to read manufacturer spec sheets and standards docs (Energy Star, IES, electrical code) line by line, and a short list of working electricians I message when something is over my head. When I get something wrong, you'll find a dated correction in the article itself — not a quiet edit.

Why Trust Me

Every piece of content follows a rigorous process to ensure accuracy, clarity, and real-world usefulness.

Deep Research

Guides are built on thorough research from manufacturer data sheets, industry standards like ENERGY STAR and IES guidelines, and authoritative technical sources.

Reviewed & Verified

Every guide goes through editorial review and a double-pass fact-check, once with AI to flag anything questionable, then by me, verifying against primary sources before it's published

Plain Language

I rewrite until anyone can understand it — technical accuracy without the technical headache

Updated Over Time

Guides are revisited as products change, standards are revised, and readers point things out, with a changelog under each article so you can see how it evolved
