I am going to buy some E27 LED retrofit lamp to replace old bulbs of my garden lamps. Some brands I am thinking about: GOOD LIGHT, SLT-TECH, GE.
But their IP rated are different, over IP65 is my first choice in case the glass housing is broken the water comes in.
Then I read an artical is about silicon, advantage or disadvantage of silicon in power supplies and LED drivers.It says silicon is not good for heat dissipation nor maintenance.
So what should i buy? seems IP65 is not a must for me after all..but in case??

Thx
