Bro, this photo you shared is actually PHILIPS 6" Downlight 1200lm. If 5" it is actually only 900lm.
What color (CCT) you using? 6500K?

my contractor purchase that light brand philip. 2 year ago.. what i know 5 inci daylight and 15watt if not mistaken

Without knowing the original specifications, not easy to advise you what to get.
PHILIPS very standard:
5" = 13W/900lm
6" = 17W/1200lm
8" = 24W/1750lm

The newer series comes with IO (interlaced optics) which reduces glare.
Daylight (6500K) in my opinion not suitable for bedroom. Go for neutral white (4000K) or if you can take it got for warm white (3000K).

if 5" 13wtt and my bedroom have 4 unit.. its really bright

any model lumen or whatt below 5watt?

also i found some dimmer film can reduce half lumen

PHILIPS MESON cannot be connected to a dimmer to dim it.
You can try PHILIPS POMERON DIM but the hole cutout size will be smaller. You can dim it via your standard switch.

I see many home renovation inspiration nowadays install downlights (did I use this term correctly)?

If I want the cozy kind of feeling in living room and master bedroom, need these kind of lights and plaster ceiling?

Bought new subsale house, plan to renovate, but all comes with original ceiling I think, no plaster ceiling

cosy ..use eyeballs

Those recessed LED downlights you mean? These can only be done with plaster ceiling as it is mounted in the ceiling.

You can also look into those surface mounted LED downlights. Those do not require plaster ceiling.

Recessed LED downlights makes your house looks more modern and sleek. If that is what you are looking for.

At office have some of these 'recessed LED downlights' but it kind of makes my eye fatigue after a while, especially if I'm talking to someone / having a meeting, and the lights are just above my eyes. Not sure if it's due to the lightbulb itself (at office is usually bright white color), or because it's a downlight (somehow I don't face this issue with those traditional fluorescent lights that our old parent's house has).

There are 3 colors to choose from. Usually I get the 4K cool white as it does not come out being too bright. Choose one that suits your usage. For example if you are using it in the bedroom you may want to choose the yellow light.

Its about lumen density. A typical T8 tube conventional has about 3000lumen in a 360Deg distribution over 4ft. A typical 6" DL is 600-800lumen compressed into D6" space. When stared direct of course the DL feels brighter.

Oh okay, 3 colors meaning all types of lightbulbs suitable for downlights have only 3 colors, across all brands?
