guys, which florescent tube to use for those plaster ceiling L boxes? Either T8 or T5?
T8 is the most common but will it be too bright?
What lengths do T5 comes in?

Thanks for your answer. What lengths do they come in?
I guess T5 much more convenient ho cause no need for ballast and can daisy chain together?

how much per piece? this type can change the bulbs if rosak nanti?
i think i cant afford it already.

even china made also not cheap.

what is another alternative?

can i replace my halogen running on 12v with these?
just change the bulb?

ok thanks for the help

guys about MR16 LED bulbs again -

the ones i found locally all have the drivers externally. the ones i saw on eBay are all packaged into the MR16 bulb itself. any problems with that?

anyone can get good pricing for this Philips LED MR16?
10 watts of power !!!

i read reviews say its very close to 50 watt halogen in terms of brightness, color, etc
ebay pricing around USD$30 each

ozak, i hope in 1.5 years time can drop to RM30

phoenixxx nope, have to buy a T5 to replace

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

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?

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.

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

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
