thank you, i havent had much luck too, should'nt have trusted the guy when he told me it was T5 (i didnt know any better actually). anyhow probably can chuck the lamp away or mod it with some LED strips in the future...

Hi,

Wondering a few things on LED downlights...

1) Is there an alternative to the standard spring-design (whereby any dismantling from ceiling will likely damage the plaster due to having to snap both sides off which are held tight by the spring)

2) What brand should I look out for and where can I buy them cheap? Coz I'm buying many... for an entire house from scratch...

3) Are these really better than your standard screw-in bulb casing types? To me, this old design is the best... any problem, just buy a new bulb and screw in (vs LED, gotta take the whole thing out)

Just overall a bit new to this world of LED lighting... visited Puchong and most shops seem to have stopped stocking up on old casings but are more focused on LED lighting instead...

Any advice (general / specific) with regards to fitting an entire house with LED downlights would be much appreciated... !


EDIT: there is one particular Taiwan? brand I saw -- Feel-Lite, or something like that which comes with a permanent outer ring casing and an inner LED, which can be removed without damaging the plaster ceiling and is much easier to remove or assemble too.
