owh... thats y some got heat sink to disperse the heat... ok got it

but stil rm70 for a bulb... a bit too much for me... got chandelier with warm white bulb. really an eye sore. plan to change it to cool white... but the bulb price makes me think twice.

Can get one then spray paint on it to get same result... 

i was being quoted Rm13.50 for square aluminium down light (without glass cover) plus an energy saving 18w bulb.down light brand is YET  n bulb is JSE.is the price reasonable or do any of u came across a cheaper price than this?i need around 60sets.that's why need to do the math well..

yesterday, i was quoted 2 prices for DL:

1. rm12 for a 4" dl full package with 18w bulb brand YSE. 1 year warranty
2. rm 10 for a 4" dl full package with 20w bulb. unknown brand. 6 month warranty

but the salesgirl also said that if i want dl below rm10, she also have. im confused. actually what criteria u need to look for?

Dont go for YSE bulb, light illumination not bright if compared to GE, up to this moment, I still preferred GE for all bulbs

Hi, anyone here have seen downlight that come with sensor features? Mind to share it here? Thx.

I wanted to install at my car porch. Wanted to install hager timer at first but I think sensor is much better than timer.

Mind to share here how much does it cost for Hager Timer with installation? My contractor charged me RM250 on that. He said the wiremen charge him RM180 on the Hager Timer alone but I understand it should be around RM100-RM130 only. Am I right? Else, I have to DIY myself then... using Ceiling Mounted Motion Sensor like this.

Ceiling Mounted Motion Sensor

So any idea? Thx first

my experience with the so called branded bulbs is pretty hit and miss... my current house used all hitachi bulbs initially but screw on type... some lasted some time but most didn't really last that long. Eventually changed to the cheaper chinamade/local brands... also felt it lasted about the same. however, the PLC appeared to be better as I changed 2 of my downlights that i switch on every night about 1 year later after the light itself spoilt. With the everynight use, one of the bulb lasted about 3-4 years and still going strong, another one also hit and miss but lasted about 1+ year before I changed another...

Wah! ur wireman so good. Should shoot my contractor kau kau... No choice, I have squeezed him so much already.

my wireman charge me RM90 for my first timer Hager EH711 (install during Nov 2011), and second timer Hager EH711 (installed today) RM100

Alibaba? They are selling 1000Qty wor. Do they sell 1 or 2pcs 1?

Hi guys, I have a 24 feet X 15 feet living hall, total size is 360 sq ft.
I wanted to build a L Box surrounding the living hall which will form a shape of rectangle, the wiring man suggested to install total 16 downlights at the L Box area. My questions are:
1) Is 16 downlights too many for a 360sq ft living hall?
2) If the number of downlights is 16, should I use 4" or 6" downlights?
3) What wattage should I use for the bulb if there's 16 downlights? go for lower watt?

Please look at these pictures to get an rough idea of my wiring layout.

2 switches for 16 downlights, 1 for even 1 for odd number. I was advised to install 16, distance between downlights is around 4-5 feet..Maybe the wiring man want to earn my money..sigh, I should have done research before the wiring..now If I insists to install just 8, then 1 switch will turn on all 8 downlights.

Hi,

I have a question regarding T5 as I got a quotation from contractor for each t5 point.

example lets say 10 T5 light - Price per point times 10

[attachmentid=2746348]
Seems to me from post above T5 only need 2 light point ?

I wonder maybe if I was conned by this contractor.

Please help to verify.

thanks

Same for my case, the T5 connected using the male & female connector which only use 1 light point.

Anyone using the remote control for the switches? What is the recommended brand? Tomato?

Bro waikee .. it's including the T5 light ..

I just would like to know if there is a wiring problem for the downlights (plastered ceiling), will it cause the energy saving bulbs lifespan to be much shorter than expected?

Hope to hear some advice. Thank you.

your not supposed to dim normal energy saving bulb..
