Actually I have a same feeling as you when installing light for my home. I don't like the flurosent light look. It is old dull design. So I search around and brought the nice cover design for flurosent light. But the bad thing about this cover is, after sometime, the cover will change color to yellowish and the plastic easlly crack. Probably due to heat from the light.

probably some CFL light design or now trend, LED light.

Wait the price drop lah. New launch sure expensive 1.

But this 10W philip LED with 570lumens really power.

I believe should be no problem. By that time RM1 = US1 for exchange rate.

This is pretty common downlight with cover. You can get it from any lighting shop. If you want to have high chance to get it, go to puchong jaya, bandar puchong and bandar puteri.

Stay away if you suspecting it way too unbelievable price. It is legal to con your money.

Have seen this thing many time, many yrs. another's place is jalan pasar, kl.

Than you have to go over to Penang to get it. Probably some lighting shop. Or get it online for easy shop.

That is huge improvement !!

Is this over claim?

I think your fish need to put on sun glasses.

You need something like UV light lah. Those use in indoor green plant.

5220lumens shine so near for the fish tank. Fish also can blind.

Use the CFL or LED bulb. Incandescent bulb cannot last long. Specially with voltage fluatuated.

Get the small watt CFL. It can fit. Those 5w or 3w cfl is smaller diameter and easlly fit in.

Go over to puchong lah.

Just read here is enough for you to gather all the infor where to buy in puchong. Puchong have a concentrate lighting shop perkm. Which save your travelling time and petrol.

While I was in japan, have some time to shop in their store. From supermarket to big houseware hardware store.

Seems like they have accept green technology very well. Saving energy electrical is everywhere. Here the majority bulb selling is LED type. Flurosent tube is 2nd. Filament bulb totally no. While CFL bulb is limited.

The main brand for LED bulb is Panasonic. Others is Toshiba and macam macam.

The highest watt for LED bulb so far I can find is 14.3w. Which produce 1520lumens. That is equivalent to 23w of CFL bulb. For the price.. divide by 31.85 and you get the RM.

I'm thinking to get 1/2 pcs back and mod it. Since it only can run on 100V. But seems like difficult to mod.

This is the continue review testing of the CR6 Cree Led downlight that I have done back 2yrs ago.

This is first review back 2yrs ago <First Review>

Second test for the usage <2nd test>

Last yrs checking on the lumens <Lumens check>

So yesterday check for the final 2yrs test on the reliability of this LED downlight. This LED have been install since 18/5/2012 till today which already been run for 942days or 9420hr (10hr/day).

The lumens is same as last yrs check. Doesn't reduce any brightness as compare to those china made.



Eye level lumens. Same result as last yrs.


In additional, I have check the temperature also to see what exactly it is. Running cool?



Compare to another light which is a CFL 23watt.



Conclusion, this CR6 CREE downlight look pretty good quality and reliable. Still running cool now even more than 2yrs and counting. I m satisfy with it.

I would probably get a dozen more of this downlight. But need to figure it out how to modify it to run locally.

What is the lumens?

Is your kitchen is open type?

If the kitchen is open type, which don't have wall on 3 side, it probably not bright enough. The wall help the light to bounce back.

But if lumens high, probably have better brightness.

That should be no problem.
