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?

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.

Price difference between cfl and led, than watt difference, calculate the difference, multiply by the hours you switch on. You know how much you saved, and multiply by month you know how much you save a month.

You should be able to rough out three ROI

Oh to be fair, you need to compare same lumen too.

After price survey in QQ, YT and Top ten (same row) for down light, my conclusion is Top Ten still offer the best price.

brother, if 7w will release 7 w of heat , if 20w will release equivalent of heat.
thats call Thermodynamics, only LED does not have the IR / UV frequency but the heat still there

if you want to have least possible heat, get the lowest wattage for the lumen you need , so the check lumen per watt

yes, you can but i have no idea what is the effect on that.
all strip you will need a 240ac to 12v DC inverter, invest on a good one, the china one always fail
