LED, or light emitting diode, bulbs have definite advantages over CFL, HID and incandescent bulbs. However, within the LED industry, prices vary greatly from one bulb to another. Are the pricier LED's worth the increased initial investment?
The short answer is yes. As with many products, you get what you pay for when it comes to LED lighting. The difference in quality can be quite noticeable. An initial investment for high quality LED lights can actually cost less in the long run when you factor in maintenance, light quality and energy savings.
Let's look at a few of the things to consider when comparing LED lighting.
Contrary to what many believe, LED's do emit heat and how that heat is managed impacts the life of the components, as well as the brightness generated by the LED. LED's have a 'heat sink' and housing that help to dissipate heat. The style of heat sink can vary greatly from LED to LED, and some are better than others. Be sure to check the lifespan of the LED, for example, LED lights from Atlas can achieve 200,000+ hours , or 22.8 years. Many cheaper bulbs achieve 50,000 hours, or 5.7 years. That means you'll buy 4 "cheap" bulbs for every one quality bulb.
Chips are the component that actually generates the light in an LED bulb. Chip quality is what determines light color and light output, so high quality chips are of the utmost importance to the quality of light. The price of LED chips on the market varies greatly, but reputable LED manufacturers will only use the best quality chips.
Power management systems are similar to ballasts, in that they convert the current and voltage from the socket to the chip. If the power management system is poor, the light could under-perform, or even fail if it the chip is overpowered.
LEDs are 'directional," meaning they emit light in a specific direction, which is different than incandescent bulbs. The lens in an LED bulb directs the light to the desired area, and will determine how well light is dispersed from the LED to the area being lit. A high quality lens will disperse light more effectively and efficiently.
All of the above components will determine how many lumens per watt can be generated by the LED light. Lumens are the units used to measure the brightness of a bulb. The more lumens per watt, the more light is generated per energy used. Look for a high number of lumens per watt to get the most energy savings.
There are a wide range of color temperatures in the LED industry. Color temperatures of K - K are the whitest light in the light color spectrum and most natural to the human eye. The higher the number, the warmer the light. If you want to avoid green or blue hues associated with some LED's, be sure to choose from the higher end of the spectrum.

Reputable LED manufactures will generally offer some type of warranty on their products. Look for a company that stands behind their products and is easy to work with should you ever need to use the warranty.
Yes, they really ARE worth it.
As you can see, there are many factors that make up the quality of LED lights, and can impact both the short and long term costs. A higher initial investment for quality LED's can save actually save more in the long run that using so-called "cheap" LED's.

Integrated LEDs typically last longer than the bulbs in screw-in fixtures because they are designed for optimal heat dissipation. These fixtures dissipate heat through integrated heat sinks, which move heat away from the LED chips to regulate the temperature better. This lower temperature helps extend the lifetime of the lighting unit. You can find integrated LED lights with an L70 lifetime ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 hours.
Many integrated LED lights, such as off-road pod lights or light bars, utilize advanced secondary topics that focus and direct the light beam. Secondary optics and the design of LED chips reduce wasted lighting to lower overall energy consumption. This differs from traditional light bulbs, which emit light in every direction and sometimes rely on inefficient reflectors to direct light.
Choosing integrated LED lights means you can skip the hassle of finding a bulb compatible with your fixture. Instead, you only need to shop for the fixture that has the specs you need, eliminating any potential compatibility issues.
LED chips take up significantly less space than LED light bulbs do. Because of this, certain integrated fixtures can have a slim, flat design. For example, our ultra-slim recessed downlights require as little as 0.5' of ceiling depth. Additionally, certain integrated lights have a specialized waterproofing design to prevent water from getting into the lighting unit. In an LED-ready fixture, however, there is a higher chance of water intrusion where the socket and bulb base meet.
Integrated LEDs come ready to wire and install, making them a quick and easy lighting solution.
Without the need to replace bulbs, these fixtures require minimal maintenance over their lifespan.
