Hi guys, I have recently install a wall light in my dining area but found it to be out of place (it just doesn't looks nice) and not bright enough. I'm thinking to install the normal florescent light instead and I wonder if the fixture is all the same in color (white) and shape?

Any good lighting installer to recommend? Preferably somewhere near Ara Damansara

Lights installed at wall will not be bright as the light spectrum falls on the wall. At best you can change to higher Watt daylight CFL.

wall lights too bright, it will be glaring since you look right at it

normal florescent comes in different length tubes and also round shape. has different wattage and different colors

If buying any type of led light, or whatever light, for Klang Valley people, please go to Puchong. That's a shop with the name "Top Ten Lighting". Location is next to Tesco IOI. Their price is really cheap.

Any forum members from lighting companies?

I am sourcing for eye ball to install with built-in cabinets (kitchen wall unit, display shelves)

Please contact me. Thank you.

Can anyone recommend a place to get track lighting along with the accessories especially this? Its a floating feed for the track because my power point is in the middle of the room and I need to connect the power to the middle of the track.

I bought my HT type track lights fixtures and accessories at Lightcraft (btw they are having a sale now till Sunday.)
They dont have the floating feed but I think I can buy one from a different manufacturer though. At Lightcraft, I could only get straight feed and L joints. No X or T joints either even though it is available from this same manufacturer. I have to make do with L and straight joints.

I haven't figure out what to do yet. Maybe hack the ceiling to extend the wires to where my track is. I might not need the floating feed as the wires are usually too far away from the wall where I want my tracks located

Will you be using MR16?

www.britegate.com

we are fully local rnd and local made LED lights supplier.

you can send your request to lighting@oneworks.com.my and my staff will reply you accordingly

How much is the track per metre and how much was the damage to your wallet?

If Lightcraft doesn't sell those accessories, I wonder who else does...

Yup. I'm planning to go with LED MR16. It's more energy saving that way and the bulbs seem kinda reasonable at RM29 a pop for the Philips 5w.

Very difficult to find in malaysia. You need to look for type HT aka H or Halo accessories
They have "polarity" so you have to figure out how to lay the tracks and feed beforehand. You probably won't need every accessory

You can find them in Singapore -

My fixture looks like this. Available in white or silver. Unfortunately over here black is not available but strangely Lightcraft got black accessories


Btw those philips 5w are probably not equivalent to 50w
Only the 6.5w and 7w dimmable are equivalent to 50w but then they are more expensive

Prices before discount



Latest News - Lightcraft just delivered my tracks and fixtures. Looks like mine does not have the Earth contact point as illustrated above. So instead of type HT, they gave me type L. That also means no need to worry about "polarity" but without an Earth point. Dont know if that is good or bad but as usual, everything in Malaysia kena songlap.....sigh.

Just saw something interesting, does anyone know where i can get fluorescent t5/t8 track light ?

is this layout ok? im not sure will i get sufficient lumens

How come Singapore gets all the good stuff when I can't even find a floating feed?

Yeah the 5w is dimmer but I'll using it for ambient so I don't think it should be too much of an issue.

Thanks for the price listing but why do they have to deliver the products to you? They don't carry the stock in store? You should be able to demand for an exchange since it's not what you paid for.

Compared to lightcraft, the lights I found from some random light shop are significantly cheaper. But I'm guessing the difference in quality must be in the driver.

The track is RM15 per meter though.





Haven't come across this yet. Our local selection is poor.

not only the drivers but the metal is very solid. 25 fixtures put in one box, and it is super heavy. even the six 3m length tracks are heavy. Very solid. I have seen those Rio tracks and fixtures, very light.

they do not stock anything at the showroom. everything has to brought in from their warehouse.

i also bought this imported pendant for my dining table at 60% off

idoblu

Yeah, the Rio ones does seem a bit fiddly. Maybe I'll just drop by to take a look. 60% is a lot of discount! Was it because you bought in bulk from them?

Also, lets say you need 2.7m instead of 3. Can the track be sawed off to fit a custom length?

50% + 10% is just for the pendant. It was a display piece. After discount still over a thousand ringgit.
The track lights were just 15% +10%
The extra 10% is just for the first two days. Not sure if after that still can get or not.
No need bulk purchase.


Can be saw off to whatever lengths

My front porch is big, with several darkspots.

Instead of dragging wire and having few light at several points, I planned to put t the centre a 2 metre track with 5 LED spotlights shooting at the darkspots. Will that work? Where to get reasonable price one?

Furthest darkpoint is 20 feet away, can-ah?

Instead of one track, You can join them together to make a square/rectangular then you get lights at the side. If you want in the middle as well then have to join like a lattice.

Hi sifus,

May I know the current market price for downlight looping? I am interested to do it next month but being quoted rm40 plus per dl
