Added on March 20, 2012, 10:41 am1) The spacing of the wiring from the side wall is too near. At least 3' away from the side wall.
2) If you ceiling height is no more than 15', 4" (more units) or 6" should be fine. If you want, and I presume you have plaster ceiling, just get them to lower it to 13' which will make a whole lot of difference. But if you want to feel of spaciousness then you will have to have a higher ceiling. Just remember, when it is time to change a fuse bulb, it will be a real hassle.
3) Your wire man is making a killing here as he is going to charge you for each light point.
4) Besides that, when he install the downlight, he will probably charge you another fee. The more downlight the more $$$.
5) You also need to spend more to purchase downlight and bulb

Thanks man, I appreciate your advice.
The width of the L Box to be installed is 2 feet, I plan to install just 8 downlights instead of 16. gonna pick those 6" downlights.

Bro waikee .. it's including the T5 light ..

Should ask without T5 how much. Sure you can find better brand and use, they may give you China unknown brand.

Folks,

I have noticed that certain downlight (even though it is made from stainless steel) become yellowish (oxidized) after 4 -5 years.

Will die cast downlight have a better quality than those normal downlight ?

Bro waikee thx for the tip .. I took the option of getting from them as I wasn't sure how much t5 was needed plus I think the overall cost would be cheaper - minus the fact that they are charging me * 10 light points

without the T5 would be 55 per point if not mistaken .. I wanted to ask the brand their using but always forgot

Btw LDP - I found a good quality round downlight.. made by panasonic.. build quality I think is way better than what I normally see .. with champagne reflector ..

Found it in a shop at puchong .. the only drawback it is on the expensive side.

I bought some in small quantity to test because I really liked it .. If anyone knows where I can find this at a more reasonable price would be great.

How much is the panasonic downlight? Never heard panasonic got downlight 1.

guys where can i find replacement T4 tubes? around 43cm long
i asked a few shops in puchong pun tak dah

a bit on the expensive side .. it's 40 per piece .. most probably got some shops selling cheaper .. but just need to find it ..

I goggled some info and found this - http://www.viclite.com/pdl.htm

T4 tubes are hard to find coz there is no standard length from all the manufacturers. would advise to change to T5, as this is easily available, and all the tubes are of standard length, no matter which brands.
Do you have a lot of T4 to replace?

Added on March 24, 2012, 7:47 pmdoes Cree have downlights? As far as I know, they only manufacture chips, and they leave the full products to other OEMs. yup, they have the best LED chips around, and many China lamps manufacturers use their chips. but dun know if they really use Cree or not :-(. do you have the US link for Cree where they manufacture downlights?

just search for Cree.

They have few model of downlight. The most famous model is cr6 with 576lumens, 10.5w. Consider very bright compare the same class. this model not selling in others country. And only In 120v. Those 240v selling in Hk and aus are overprice.

Just order 1 from us.

Hi Ozak,

so how are you planning to install the 120v here ?

Will use some sort of convertor ? I think it wouldn't work without somekind of modification right?

I tried contacting cree sales rep and even their CEO (Chuck_Swoboda-at-crxx) last time and it seems that they don't have plans for a 220v version.

they only have lr6 which is on the expensive side..

at least cr6 is a bit reasonable especially the rebadge homedepot

If they offered the cr6 in 220v version at a similar price, I would have bought a few ..

hopefully they would change their minds for our market if there's a lot of demand ..

Yes, their lr6 220v is overprice. But this model have a 1000 lumens. The brightness so far.

I try get 1 and modify the driver. I intend to run it on DC voltage. Just try and error.

anyone have idea what is the market price for installing down lights, ceiling light & wall lights excluding wiring?

guys, which florescent tube to use for those plaster ceiling L boxes? Either T8 or T5?
T8 is the most common but will it be too bright?
What lengths do T5 comes in?

This post has been edited by idoblu: Mar 26 2012, 12:08 PM

T5

Thanks for your answer. What lengths do they come in?
I guess T5 much more convenient ho cause no need for ballast and can daisy chain together?

This post has been edited by idoblu: Mar 26 2012, 12:09 PM

Yes, male to female connection. They come in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 feet
