LED Rating Types

Rating Explanation
Excellent

An LED rated as "Excellent" will have no or only very minor imperfections in visual performance. It will dim to 1% or less of maximum output and will not have excessive peak currents meaning a decent number of fittings can be used per circuit.

Very Good

A "Very Good" rating is given to an LED that has only minor flaws in its visual performance. These might include a slight shimmer while fading or a slightly uneven profile.

Good

A "Good" LED will have either a single significant flaw (big step in output range, very noticeable shimmer while fading etc.) or several more minor flaws in visual performance. Sometimes an LED with visual performance that could be rated as "Very Good" may be downgraded due to a high peak currents meaning only a small number of fittings can be used per circuit.

Neutral

"Neutral" rated LEDs will have significant flaws in their visual performance. While these lamps can be used with the associated Rako dimmer it is likely to be unacceptable to most customers.
