hey guys i was quoted RM420 to install 24 pcs of surface downlight. Is this price reasonable?

Hey LYN, I recently installed the lighting for my apartment. I made a post about my light selection and stores where I got the, here's a link if you're interested: My Lighting Guide Post.

My antivirus said very risky your lighting.

Its my personal portfolio website, I promise no viruses. Made using squarespace, not some dodgy website maker.

hi guys which downlight to buy. so many version.
went to house light recommend those 12w taiwan light
1)built in ballast type rm16, 1yr warranty
2) external ballast type rm30, 1yr warranty

other shop recommend PAK 3yr warranty dunno how much already

other is those china cheap one lo

recommend those built in or external ballast?

which one to get ya. or any brand can intro

i bought YET brand. they uses Philips parts. OEM.

I used Yet Plus too and it has been about 3 years since. Those series with normal China driver don't last long, changed many already within the warranty period. Whereas the Urban series that are more expensive comes with Philips driver still going strong with nil claim so far. That's my experience with Yet Plus brand

Hi, nice posting! can you also share the color temperature of the light you've used in each point?

Hello everyone... i think i have now come to the stage to think about my lighting options. Reading few pages here is mind boggling to me- so many options, so many things to consider.

So i’ll start with a basic one. Any ideas on cool lights/lamp on top of main gate (entrance)? I think it’s quite important coz it is for outdoor use. Unsuitable lamps may attract moths commit suicide (u can see dead moths inside the lamp), be hard to clean or require high maintenance or the lights too dim to do anything for the aesthetics. Any pictures would be great as well

Thanks in advance!

Well, just to answer my own question- went to a lighting shop today and brought my floor layout. The guy there help me calculate which area need what light etc and helped a lot. Of course after that ask me to buy package the whole house from him hehe

nowadays u can get free quotation from interior designers.. they can give u a rough idea..

Anyone here tried PAK LED downlights?

The package/promotion from Avalon looks interesting (2000 for 30% off all store products - fan, ceiling & wall lights).

Would appreciate it if anyone could provide feedback on that or is it better and cheaper to source the items (fan, ceiling & wall lights) separately?

For fan, roughly after survey i found that online platform selling cheaper than shops

Especially bayu 5 fan at lazada selling below rm250 and market shop selling rm300 above

Hi there, I have browse through your blog and i found your unit is magnificient ! I like how you blend in those furnitures and the color selection. Even without plaster ceiling i think the track light just blend in perfectly. May I ask how much you have spent in the renovation ? Do you have the breakdown cost ? Appreciate your sharing. Thanks !

Nice.

Any price list for reference?

$17.50 per pc should be reasonable since they are installing the wiring for u

Hi obelisk,

Have you decided on PAK or another type? I’m also currently looking to decide on lighting.

Thanks

I'll be going with some others as I find it to be a lil expensive because after asking around and checking I think any decent LED or even Energy Saving downlight like Osram, Philip etc would last just as long considering that the standard lifespan is around 2-3 years (depending on usage; does not apply to cap ayam).

Estimate price I found as follow:
Osram 12w - rm29
Philip 12w - rm35
