Centurionstareng,

How do we know how many light bulbs are required for a particular area? Can you plan and advise us on that or do we need to come out with our own plan?

Also, do u have any physical shop?

Thanks!

Thanks for your advise. Got ppl say don't use the "screw" type of bulb, use "pin" type, because "pin" type normally got transformer, will be brighter, is that true?

brighter i guess is the same, the screw type doesn't have ballast. pin type do have ballast. if screw type once u switch On the light it will direct on. with ballast it will blink a bit like normal long tube lamp. both also got advantages & disadvantages. screw type bulb may last 2 years max, i estimate from my experience, if blow just change the bulb. for ballast type maybe 2 to 4 years max, depends on usage as usual. but if ballast blow i need to climb up to roof find the balast and change the whole set. choices up tp you....my 2 cents.... icon_rolleyes.gif

very true. LED seems still a high risk investment to me.

Is there any lighting difference if I put 2x11w bulb and 1x 22w bulb? Just an example to discuss.
*
2x11w and 1x22w in theory it should be same. but bear in mind different brand of bulb can have different brightness even in same watt, spiral or u tube also contribute. i have tried diamond brand 3 u tube against phillips 3 u tube brightness is so much different....well choices is urs. mine last time do alot of study using different brand and watt. lucky the shop so gud, i can try with whatever bulb i want if not satisfy they willing to change...

gud luck! rclxms.gif

bro..no offence but you see the -ve  about this LED thingy is the warranty, cost, and the ROI...   Warranty, as per your previous post you mentioned a standard 1 year warrant..while the ROI comes in after (ie.) 2nd year...so we got to really pray hard that nothing will go wrong after the 1st year otherwise ROI will be just on 'Paper' considering the cost of 1 replacement LED bulb..  LED is the way to move forward, but not until its cost/price has gone down to a competitive level..that's my take for now...Otherwise I wouldn't hesitate for a second to change my whole house to LEDs! wink.gif

No worries, none taken bro. You're absolutely right on this notworthy.gif That's why we cannot stress more that it is VERY important to purchase from reliable suppliers.

We offer all our clients a standard 1 year warranty on any of our LED products, some 2 years depending on quantity, and some also 3 years due to bulk purchases and our warranty is one-to-one. We are also working on a 5 year warranty for offices and factories. This warranty will only be void if we investigate that the product has failed due to over voltage current, and this is usually the cause from our experience as unfortunately mostly due to "honest client mistake" (direct plugging into 240V for 12V/24V LED blush.gif ).

As you do, we also feel cost is always as issue but the more you invest, the more your returns will be. We are open to discuss the warranty period with you if you decide to change to LEDs for your house, and we're confident our product will last you many many years, and save several folds of your initial investment as well nod.gif

cheers bro.

Good question. Brightness is a very subjective thing and thats why we always stress to go to "site" and take a look. From there, we can actually test up the various LED lights for you and let you decide how bright you want your personal space to be. This would be best.

Generally though, spacings between lightings such as downlight can range between 1.1 - 1.5m centre to centre (from on downlight to the other). We do provide on site viewings with our clients so that we can offer advise on how to best light up the area in question, so do email us at centurionstareng@gmail.com and we look forward to working on your requirements with you smile.gif

Unlike a standard lighting shop, we are an engineering company strictly focusing into LEDs, solar panels and green technology. Although we do get many positive feedback that on top of having an office, we should also have a physical lighting shop for walk in customers. Well this is something we feel is too premature and may result in more confusion and frustration for the customers as LEDs are much more than what it is. Unlike standard lightings, many of our clients do consult us and retrofit their homes and we cannot simply match Btype standard lightings with Atype LEDs just like that. We strongly believe in order to provide full client satisfaction and understanding on LEDs, we need to ensure not only our products are of good quality, but they live up to our clients requirements in terms of brightness, durability, usage and pricing.

Hope the above was useful icon_rolleyes.gif and look forward to hearing from you.

got some normal square 4" downlight today... RM7.90 each... nice deal?
the promoter told me spiral type is brighter... guess i'll try my luck by installing 1 single spiral bulb... if not ok then only use 2 normal bulb.

Hitachi brand bulb ok or not? RM8.5 if not mistaken, comes with 1 year warranty.

All,

WHere the the cheaper downlight for 4 & 6 inch square type at KL / Puchong area, as I need to puchase around 40-50 unit.


Centurionstareng,
Noticed that two type of 3W LED, one is cost around RM65 another is around RM100, price differential due to number of LED in the bulb. Is this same on your product?
