I have no experience in alibaba too. I see the word and spec twist here and there even same product but different seller. See already feel like kena scam. Still feel ebay much more safe.

ya...thats y i prefer shopping on ebay.btw is it suitable if we use in our country.which specification we need to check when buy the led downlight?

Look for the voltage. It should have driver which can use on our voltage. Some built in. Some outside. Other is lumens/watt. Higher lumens/watt, more bright and less energy to use.

heard got many problem with the LED driver if bought the china made one..the driver will easily spoilt 1st because of overheat...haizz...i think i will cancel planning to bought the LED downlight n get the energey saver bulb...cant affor the branded LED downlight..

wow...looks like overkill

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.

Yeah, CFL still bang for the buck. Brighter/w and cheaper than led.

I think i will get a Cree downlight from eBay US. Barai it and see can modify or not.

How many switches for 16 downlight? You need minimal 4 switch, best will be 8. But why so many?

Better use T5, much brighter and better distribution of light. You can configure 2 switch for the T5 inside the L box. One for Even, another for Odd. So switch both you get all your T5 switch on.

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.

what u want to modifiy bro?r u still still choosing th LED type?i tought maybe i can have atry to use LED downlight for a small quantiy maybe can use at bathroom hehhe.will try either it will last longer or easy to kaput.btw...in choosing the downlight where can i get the tips?such as which reflector,bulb,size easy to install plc-e or plc ballast?already survey the LYN thread of downlight but not many info i got.

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


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

My contractor only charge me 1 light point price even multiple T5 are connected per switch, he just connect all the 8 units of T5 using the cable I supply. (Male and female)

RM 75 include of T5? or just connection?

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?
