erm if no plaster ceiling, any options for downlight/ceiling lamps?

Surface mounted downlights.

grt! thanks for t idea..jus googled and wondering if can get these types..

http://www.lightingstyles.co.uk/Ceiling/Fl..._spot_light.htm

am going for donlight bcos its energy sufficient, need the lights for 4 points..

Very Expensive!!!

anybody got any comment on T8 lighting?
intend to use it for my entire house.
no starter, therefore no flicking like previous flourescent lights.
any comments and indicative pricing?
thanks.

No need to go around anywhere.
Just go to houses lightings in Puchong (besides Puchong avenue). Everything also cheap.
Bought almost everything there...

T8 just like our normal house light....i think i stay 3 year never change 1 T8.
but i also buy T8 for my L box which is recommend by shop, the headache part is wiring guy...
each T8 come with ballast...so need to do wiring looping ...compare to T5 which come to connector.

I bought 1 set GE T8 and ballast(cheap brand) = RM10/set. only have 2 size 2' and 4' and both is same price as well.

Added on September 17, 2011, 5:23 pmI found cheaper price than house lighting...which save another rm30-40 for rm1.2K socket/switch so i will still buy from house lighting.

Anyone uses those Phillips motion detector, the ones with 2 spotlight usually available in black only? What's the reliability?

Hi,

i nd some advice. My living area is 4850mm x 3500mm and ceiling height is around 9 feet. I hve opened up 8 downlight points. My question - shall i install 4" downlights with 2 light bulbs or 6" downlights with 2 light bulbs?

The electrician guy said 4" is sufficient where else the lighting shop guy said i nd at least 6", he don't recommend 4" ...

Can anyone please share with me their comments?

Thanks.

Hi Guys,

Any idea where to find this lights below (centre one)? There's 2 size, the 1200mm in width is the largest, i need to buy 2. Top Ten is selling for RM1250 per set (ex-stock) while another shop in Dsara Utama is selling for RM1100 but stock will only come in end of next month.

Thanks!

Attached thumbnail(s)

I am curious if anybody here know why led warm white lifespan is shorter than cool white and daylight? Also, how do we know how bright is the light compared with the normal light watt? Wish to adopt a greener lifestyle but don't know how to make the comparison and invest in right thing. Hope someone can help here.

Terima kasih.

Wow good information, thx for sharing!

Just went and had a discussion with Top Ten Lighting sales staff as I wanted to learn about plaster ceiling lights (Down Lights + other lights)
Here is a summary to share with all
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...260&p=45654682&

So your room is roughly 16ft x 11.5ft. My living room is 22ft x 12.5ft and I have 8 x 6" single bulb downlights. Ceiling height is a higher than yours, about 11 feet. It is PLENTY bright.

Go for the 6" downlights, single bulb enough la.
