Quality materials matter; if a lamp doesn’t have them, failure is likely. Take LED drivers, for example. A driver converts AC power into DC power so an LED can operate. (Incandescent lighting operates using either AC or DC power, but LEDs must obtain power from direct current.) If poor-quality components are used to construct the driver, the LED may fail — requiring the purchase of a new lamp to replace one that was supposed to last for years (or decades). If the correct driver isn’t used, the heat generated by the driver may be difficult to dissipate and cause failure. This is often why LEDs flash or flicker — it’s an early sign of driver failure.

While PET has a greener environmental rap sheet, raw material costs more than vinyl, it is more difficult to fabricate in certain ceiling styles, and it is not yet approved for use below sprinklers. While vinyl has demonstrated longevity in building applications, PET service life has yet to be determined. PET is recyclable as Type 1 plastic.
While a translucent ceiling will reduce light transmittance, the loss in efficiency may be recouped by cutting glare to improve lighting effectiveness. Costs can also be reduced by using simple, inexpensive fixtures such as strip fluorescent lamps above the ceiling. Increasingly, however, translucent ceilings are being paired with light-emitting diode (LED) lamps to create glowing illumination that can be programmed to change colours.
