Been a year.... so far so good.....

How much you guys buy the led light? Im gonna buy some for my living room oso. 6 pieces, rm20 per piece for 3W. I asked and salesgirl said its chinese brand oso with 6 months warranty.. i'm afraid its the same thing leh.

I think I paid like RM 70 a bulb last year... but looks like it's cheaper now... but rather trust Singapore brand la.... they said 1-1 replacement for a year but I guess I didnt' have to use the warranty cause didn't burn.

Even got warranty also damn ma fan have to take down and drive to the store to change... no point.. might as well pay a few more bucks so I don't have to worry about it....maybe cause I lazy hahaha

Dear seniors,

Just would like your opinion on the prices for LC lighting? Is their price reasonable? I've just found out that all the lights are nett price, no discount.

Hope that you could enlighten on this. Thank you.

alot of times is the driver problem. but they will just change you another with the same problem. china brand driver is not "truthful". we also sell these lights and we also face same problems with drivers, that is why now we dun sell much nowadays. respectable brands are hard to come by nowadays, with prices coming down sharply. alot are compromised with bad quality

if you guys wish to change to led bulbs, we have the bulb type(attached picture) from LG Korea(original). 2yr warranty(limited), 7.5w, and bright too. what's more, it's UNBREAKABLE! tried it many times.... RM65 each

Damn... And i just bought like 14 pcs of china led.... The cost is less than half the price outside.

But phillips just came out with their own led range

It should be more reliable than other brands.

whoa u guys willing to spend triple than average bulb for led. your electricity bills come down a lot? just want to clarify this.

In long term, yes. Its not just the electricity cost. Led generate very little heat and are not glaring to the eyes.

It is a trend. And most of them get con. Who profit? The china man.

yaa... im thinking about this too... ive been searching for cheap led bulb... and found around rm24 instead of 65 (philips) but made in china...


i was so excited then, looking for option to buy online from china, but hearing from u guys, 10 days dah kaput, how to save cost if this will happen.

LED generates very less heat, this is correct but not for the driver, the driver will generate a lot of heat, even more than energy saving bulb

durability very depends on the driver, most of the time driver kaput one

sorry but i cant help it, what is driver? what to type in google about this 'driver'.. i was blurred when u guys talked about driver la, fengshui la..

Driver is used to power up your LED, LED is a light emitting diode in which can be powered up by DC voltage only, therefore driver is needed, it is a self-contained power supply that has outputs matched to the electrical characteristics of your LED, consist of AC to DC converter and hence the loss will be turned to heat and spread around

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.

Lifespan on LED specification is on LAB and test environment. In real life is much shorter.

LED can blind you, is more glaring than CFL.

Added on February 17, 2012, 9:56 amI will use LED for specific application, but not going to replace entire house lighting. It still won't replace all the CFL application. Downlight LED still long way to go, and the brightness produce are not matchable to CFL. If we compare same brightness of LED and CFL, we have to pay a lot more.

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.

Thanks for correcting. But still feel that led not that eye straining compared to the regular 4/6" downlight. This probably because of lower watt than CFL so less bright.

I think some manufacture able to make the LED not too focus, Maybe by putting the frosted glass casing.
