Ya kah??
I know there is 2 type of T8 Light.
The ones with the green edge connectors are brighther than the ones with the silver edge connectors.

Either T8 or T5, both will reduce brightness by time, aging effect for the fluorescent excitation of its intensity

No wonder I always have monday blue when seeing this light.

Yes two type, one is high output, is almost double the intensity of normal t5. Not sure is the edge is difference the output. Both is still better than t8.

I know because I play with aqua grass before, and light is very critical. T8 is on the phasing out mode.

haha, y must be monday

Very good sharing indeed!

Does your kitchen have sufficient light?
Add another one might be better

Not sufficient! after i calculate the lumens/lux needed to brighten the space..at least 4000lumens to brighten my kitchen
:S

i don like avalon too. mine is kl branch. the quality look so so to me n same dl can get cheaper in top ten. their service is bad. hopeless n regret for me too

Going to plan lightning for my new house. Don't know how to start. Appreciate if those experienced one can share with me.

Basically in living room, will do simple square plaster ceiling. Plan to use those downlight at the side. Downlight, what are the options available? Is it only those enery saving or LED? Price wise?

Then, also plan to do "warm-yellowish" lightning, to use when watching movie. I read few pages back, is it call dimmer?

And for bedrooms without plaster ceiling, I can only use those typical fluorescent light? I read the discussion here, T5 is the common and practical one?

Hello guys,

I'm sure many here would have been to many many lighting shops. By any chance, anyone of you come across this attached light? It's called Buble Light if I'm not mistaken

I seen this.. but could not recall which shop.. let me ask wifey when she' back

Hey Kelv,

If you need LED information and quotation, PM me. I got ppl can go take a look at your place if you are in PJ area. Then suggest something for you. =)

Thanks. But I am in Cheras area.
Did my research. Need to do plaster ceiling to use downlight. Since there will a be a lot of this downlight, LED will be too costly.
Maybe LED stripe for the light inside the L-box.
Low budget, so not planning anything for dimmer yet.

LED Stripe might not be ideal because it is not bright enough and the light reflection is limited to certain area unless you are going for high watt and higher quality of LED stripe. Otherwise I would advise just go for T5.

My initial idea is the downlight will be bright enough. The light inside L-box for ambience only.
And I will off the downlight, switch on the light inside L-box when watching movie.

Hello jayjay11,

Thanks! Hopes your wifey will remember

For ambience the strip LED will do. Just run wires will do, no need for fixtures compared to using T5... Let me know if you need some. =)

Any idea do we have 1FT T5 in the market ?

Yes usually China made.
