Buying lighting can be difficult. Lighting companies have no brand awareness, so consumers have no benchmarks. Unfortunately, there are all types of lighting products.
Here are a few common sense tips to navigate the lighting spectrum:
1. Check the Finish. Finishes should be metallic not painted. Painted finishes over time will fleck
2. If it flickers on a display, forget it. On low voltage fixtures, the main component is a transformer. There are good and bad transformers. A bad transformer will effectively cause the light to malfunction.
3. Check the fit: Simple stuff really...Does a fixture hang straight on a display.
4. Not all the glass is the same: Murano or Evianne glass shades project a better light than painted shades
5. Warranty? Only a few companies will provide a comprehensive guarantee in case the light fails
