Am using china led 3w. 8 pieces to be exact. Just installed. I will give my feedback after using them a while.

show us photos as well

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..

I have not heard of the JSE bulb brand. Most likely is china brand. YET according to what i was told, is a generic china brand.

Is there anyone here using a LED house light that are switched on 24/7.
Any brand that last more than 3 years?????

YET & JSE are china oem products. these are sold very cheap in lighting shops like Top Ten, Avalon, etc. we are also electrical shop, but we normally don't recommend these in our projects. YET have many variants, let me know what is the model, and I can ask whether can reduce further the price. I guess the JSE bulbs they give you are the screw head bulbs, which at those prices, quality is compromised. if you want lasting bulbs, you should use PLC tubes with external ballast. but the total price is much more.

Many people prefer easy fixing without ballast. Too bad even the good E27 bulb won't last long compare to PLC

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

Go try compare with other made and build quality. You know why is so cheap.

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.

Hitachi & panasonic also bery good

i can confirm panasonic better than philip, but panasonic price higher

for me I will prefer timer rather than sensor

If still unde Reno add a timer is good. My parking porch have two T5 one control by timer another control by normal switch. Leave one switch on is good.

YEt BY-360
6 inch aluminium frame down light(square shape).

You have any square shaped down lights with PLC tubes? what is the price like?(with or without bulbs)?

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

The timer is about 80+- when i got it in sept. Maybe now is around 90+-.

The installation is free, my wireman do it free for me, maybe already part of lighting cost. I told him I need timer for parking porch, so he prepare 2 set of wiring, one for timer (on the left T5), another for switch (on the right T5)

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...

PLC is always more reliable.

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