Part 3: Universal Selection Rules & Pitfalls to Avoid
3 Must-Follow Rules
Certification First: Choose UL/CE/SAA certified products to avoid compliance risks.
Precise Power Match: Oversized units waste energy; undersized units cause failures.
Self-Test Function: Prioritize auto-test models to reduce maintenance costs.
2 Common Mistakes to Skip
Don't trade quality for low prices (inferior components lead to high long-term costs).
Don't ignore lamp compatibility (check dimming/control system matching).
