Just went and had a discussion with Top Ten Lighting sales staff as I wanted to learn about plaster ceiling lights (Down Lights + other lights)
Here is a summary to share with all icon_rolleyes.gif

So your room is roughly 16ft x 11.5ft. My living room is 22ft x 12.5ft and I have 8 x 6" single bulb downlights. Ceiling height is a higher than yours, about 11 feet. It is PLENTY bright. smile.gif

Go for the 6" downlights, single bulb enough la.

The lady I met in Wong Lighting advised that to use 4" diameter vertical downlight. for low ceiling below 9' is suitable.
Based on my mom's house, its plenty bright. rclxms.gif

Very small small DSL only.

My calculation is

1) hall - 3x23w ccfl = 69w x 6hr x 365/12 = 13kwh x 0.218 = rm3/mth
2) car porch - 1 x 23w ccfl = 23w x 8hr x 365/12 =5.6kwh x 0.218 = rm1.3/mth

So total rm4.3. Others ON/OFF and no more than 1hr. Total should be around rm5 kua?

Guys, I need help here, icon_question.gif
My FungShui Led down-lights 9 pcs (on 24 hours), going kaput one by one in the last 3 days. doh.gif
Even though they give me 6 months warranty, I think it won't last looking at the situation. shakehead.gif
Very damaging to the plaster ceiling changing the light all the time. cry.gif
I like the LED casing and hope to retain it.
I heard that if you change the driver it will last.

Any suggestions !!!??? notworthy.gif

Your FS light no more Feng Shui already. Usually is the driver, if is not the driver than your LED light are not meant to switch on 24/7 maybe due to poor heat insulation.

Any place where I can just change the driver?
How much?
What brand?

Nowadays T5 is the preferred flourescent light as it isthe newer and smaller model, but lighting wise T8 being bigger is arguably brighter.

Real practical example, mad valley parking used to be t8, they change to t5, and during transition can see the difference, and now the parking is so much brighter. My mom house I replace the old t8 to t5, brightness is so much much difference.
