QUOTE(weikee @ Jan 16 2012, 10:42 PM) I doubt lah. I never know FS got play with light. Maybe his school is difference. I only know it got to do with Chi flow, main door, stove, bed and timing. Light too play a part in FS. When the FS master come to check my house, he request to ON all the light in my home.

I heard that LED supposed to last 24/7. You buy china LED light where got last long 1. Another type of driver that can last long is switching power supply. 1pcs can connect to all your LED. But you still have to let some air flow for this power supply. Look for this japanese brand omron. The price is below RM100. This post has been edited by ozak: Jan 17 2012, 08:44 AM

QUOTE(vetkin_gray @ Feb 17 2012, 08:55 AM) In long term, yes. Its not just the electricity cost. Led generate very little heat and are not glaring to the eyes. There is no longterm. Can you warranty the LED bulb for fews years? All the bullshit spec write 50000hr but can't even give a fews yrs warranty. Once spoil between a years, you are already lost your money.

QUOTE(weikee @ Feb 17 2012, 09:52 AM) Lifespan on LED specification is on LAB and test environment. In real life is much shorter.
It is not about the LAB test. It is the seller get a bunch of bullshit china LED and claim last that long and save your cost. Once spoil not even a year, the china man laugh away with your money from conning you. And you keep get another LED bulb again. And the price not even cheaper than the CFL.

QUOTE(leeyung @ Feb 20 2012, 11:18 PM) backup battery for timer is redundant for me  My situation of using at the car porch for the timer where backup battery is need. The timer is locate above the ceiling beside the downlight. So I can't always adjust the time. From morning till before I sleep, I off the main switch to the timer than to the light. But the timer is set ON at 7pm till 7am. So without the backup battery, the timer is stop working. When the time that I didn't OFF the main switch and require the timer run as usual is when I go for holiday or not in home.

I never change the battery before since day 1. And it is 14yrs ago. Where got battery last that long 1. For 14 yrs, I only readjust the timer 2x. That is quite accurate running compare those china 1.

QUOTE(weikee @ Mar 19 2012, 09:36 AM) In Alibaba, last ime (about 2 years ago) I ask for small quantity, they have minimal order. Well not much, if you can fit in 20' footer they will do the order. If not, they suggest you hold until someone make the order into Malaysia and share the shipment. The Alibaba look like wholesale for me. So I thaught they don't serve you if you want in small qty. Anyway the CREE model only avaiable in US and not others country. The famous CR6 downlight is only have 120v. Now thinking how to modify it.

QUOTE(Reyz @ Mar 19 2012, 12:49 PM) so in alibaba the CREE model is not really CREE? Those cree in alibaba is using the cree LED component. Not the whole downlight. They buy the LED component and design the housing and driver themself. Cree did manufacturing downlight itself. but don't think sale in alibaba. Their famous reliable CR6 downlight model is popular in western country.

QUOTE(Reyz @ Mar 19 2012, 03:14 PM) ya...thats y i prefer shopping on ebay.btw is it suitable if we use in our country.which specification we need to check when buy the led downlight? http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/4w-Day-Cree-LED...=item56453503dfLook for the voltage. It should have driver which can use on our voltage. Some built in. Some outside. Other is lumens/watt. Higher lumens/watt, more bright and less energy to use.

QUOTE(Escaflowne @ Mar 23 2012, 02:29 AM) Bro waikee thx for the tip .. I took the option of getting from them as I wasn't sure how much t5 was needed plus I think the overall cost would be cheaper - minus the fact that they are charging me * 10 light points without the T5 would be 55 per point if not mistaken .. I wanted to ask the brand their using but always forgot  Btw LDP - I found a good quality round downlight.. made by panasonic.. build quality I think is way better than what I normally see .. with champagne reflector .. Found it in a shop at puchong .. the only drawback it is on the expensive side. I bought some in small quantity to test because I really liked it .. If anyone knows where I can find this at a more reasonable price would be great. [attachmentid=2751982] How much is the panasonic downlight? Never heard panasonic got downlight 1.

QUOTE(mkow @ Mar 24 2012, 07:38 PM) does Cree have downlights? As far as I know, they only manufacture chips, and they leave the full products to other OEMs. yup, they have the best LED chips around, and many China lamps manufacturers use their chips. but dun know if they really use Cree or not :-(. do you have the US link for Cree where they manufacture downlights? just search for Cree. They have few model of downlight. The most famous model is cr6 with 576lumens, 10.5w. Consider very bright compare the same class. this model not selling in others country. And only In 120v. Those 240v selling in Hk and aus are overprice. Just order 1 from us.
