My living room is 28ft * 17 ft and height is 10.5ft. I plan to install LED downlight. If i install 12 10W LED downlight. Is it sufficient bright?

Quite bright already. Color of light affects perception of brightness. Higher temperature will appear brighter.

HI, Thanks for your advise. I am considering 2 LED Down light

1. Philips 10W, 6500k, Lumen around 600-700
2. Optic LED 13W, 6500k, Lumen around 1000

If bright enough then is ok. I just don't wish after install Philips 10w and has shadow and not enough bright.

I find around 4100K most comfortable to the eyes and it is a good trade-off against brightness. The colors in the house also look more natural and pleasing.

ok, noted. Did lumen affect the brightness as well?

Lumen is the brightness. But usually I find about 3000K color quite dim, compared to about 6000K color. Mine can switch 3 colors using same LED, so I can see the difference in the house.

do they have aluminium material? mine one the SA said aluminium.. how to verify?? afraid being con by the SA, could be chrome finishing..

A simple way to check is aluminium metal will sound loud and hollow if you tap with your finger nails. Usually recessed LED light base is aluminium.
