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?

QUOTE(Mirror_man @ Jun 28 2012, 06:07 PM) 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. |

QUOTE(xerox1234 @ Jun 28 2012, 10:28 PM) 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. |

QUOTE(Eve90 @ Jun 27 2016, 08:02 PM) Is it okay to use yellow light for T5 for lightbox but cool white for downlights at the same area? Or both colour should be the same? Is ok if you can accept. Most of the time, will you switch on both at the same time? |

QUOTE(Eve90 @ Jun 28 2016, 09:53 PM) Is this warm white for lightbox and cool white for downlight?  This is the lighting temperature I have in mind actually. Thanks for your feedback My house similar like that. The yellow T5 light is actually brighter than the white down light, so I end up rarely switch on the box lightning. |

QUOTE(Eve90 @ Jun 28 2016, 10:57 PM) I guess if you used LED strip instead of T5 for the lightbox, it won't be brighter than the downlights. Thanks for the reply. You helped me a lot. Glad to be able to help. You are right, LED will be more suitable for ambience lightning. |
