Avoid mistakes that can be costly for your fleet.
Choosing the right LED lighting for industrial vehicles is not just a matter of aesthetics or price. Many companies make mistakes that can lead to premature failures, legal issues, or even accidents. In this article, at Magsan, we outline the 5 most common mistakes and how to avoid them.
Error 1: Failing to check certifications
Not all LED lights comply with current regulations. Differences such as ECE R65 or R10 are crucial for the safety and legality of your fleet. Choosing non-certified products can result in fines and unnecessary risks.
Tip: always check the certification before purchasing.
Error 2: Choosing an inadequate IP rating
The IP rating indicates resistance to water and dust. Choosing an LED with an incorrect IP rating for your environment can lead to premature failures.
Tip: select the IP rating according to the vehicle type and working conditions.
Error 3: Ignoring vibrations and operating temperature
Vibrations and extreme heat can damage low-quality LEDs, leading to constant maintenance and frequent replacements.
Tip: look for durable and tested products for industrial vehicles.
Error 4: Electrical issues due to incorrect installation
An installation that does not respect voltage, polarity, or fuses can cause short circuits and irreversible damage.
Tip: follow the manufacturer's technical guide and seek professional advice if necessary.
Error 5: Confusing quality with price
Not all cheap LEDs perform the same. Frequent replacements and premature failures end up costing more than investing in quality products.
Tip: choose reliable brands such as Lucidity, distributed by Magsan.
Conclusion
Choosing the right LED lighting protects your investment and enhances the safety of your fleet. At Magsan, we provide guidance to ensure your lights comply with regulations, are durable, and efficient. Contact us for personalized advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
1️⃣ What happens if an LED is not certified?
If an LED is not certified according to current regulations (such as ECE R65 or R10), its use may be illegal and result in fines or issues during inspections. Additionally, the safety of the vehicle and other road users could be compromised. For this reason, we always recommend certified LED lights.
2️⃣ What is the difference between cheap and professional LEDs?
Cheap LEDs typically have a shorter lifespan, lower resistance to vibrations and temperature, and poorer brightness. Professional LEDs, such as those from Lucidity, offer:
- Greater durability and resistance to vibrations and heat.
- Full certifications according to regulations.
- Energy efficiency and better light performance.
Investing in quality LEDs means fewer replacements and increased safety.
3️⃣ How long does a professional LED last under industrial conditions?
It depends on the LED quality, vibrations, heat and humidity, and correct installation. A professional LED, such as those from Lucidity, can last between 50,000 and 70,000 hours.
