Is it okay to use yellow light for T5 for lightbox but cool white for downlights at the same area?

Or both colour should be the same?

Is ok if you can accept. Most of the time, will you switch on both at the same time?

Is this warm white for lightbox and cool white for downlight?



This is the lighting temperature I have in mind actually.

Thanks for your feedback

My house similar like that.
The yellow T5 light is actually brighter than the white down light, so I end up rarely switch on the box lightning.

Not standard.
By default, there will be about 500K variance between each CCT.

Secondly, the LED Chips used might be different bin, hence u will get different hue. Do note on the SDCM of the lights you are installing.

There are a lot more to go on.

I see...
So is your downlight cool or warm white?

Cool.

I guess if you used LED strip instead of T5 for the lightbox, it won't be brighter than the downlights.

Thanks for the reply. You helped me a lot.

Glad to be able to help.
You are right, LED will be more suitable for ambience lightning.

Btw, how many watt are you using for your downlight?

18W.

Is it possible to install surface mounted downlight on a (metal) pipe instead of literally installing on the ceiling as I intend to have it "hanging" from the ceiling?

Some kind of a studio light ?

Would like to have it like cafe style lightings. But I'm not sure if they have custom made their lighting mounts...

Show some sample picture.

The design is wide choice.

Hello all the sifus here. Need your advise for the lighting arrangement in my house. Is it too little or is it an overkill. Hope you guys can give me some advise on this.

Note:the eyeball downlights are there for me to switch it on when I want ambient lighting

Not necessary to be the same.
I current set up is yellow light for T5 for lightbox and cool white for downlights at the same area.

I only use 4" 9w led downlight, 6000k (day white) ....no idea on the term. I start to worry not bright, end up no use


Plan on t5 warm white like your house, look nice.

Hi there,

The dimmer that i purchased with my LED downlights went kaput a few days back. Went back to house of lighting and they said the dimmer type is no longer selling. They randomly picked a replacement but was worried it wouldnt work.

The light i purchased is of this brand
4 inch model

Olanning to buy one online and thinking what should i look out for?wattage?

Thanks in advance

Hi... does anyone know what type of downlight is this? I need to change the bulb but have no idea how to remove this i've heard about twisting, using suction cup from youtube guide etc; but I just wanna make sure that I don't use extreme force and destroy it altogether
