How much you guys buy the led light? Im gonna buy some for my living room oso. 6 pieces, rm20 per piece for 3W. I asked and salesgirl said its chinese brand oso with 6 months warranty.. i'm afraid its the same thing leh.

In long term, yes. Its not just the electricity cost. Led generate very little heat and are not glaring to the eyes.

Thanks for correcting. But still feel that led not that eye straining compared to the regular 4/6" downlight. This probably because of lower watt than CFL so less bright.

Downlights are just too common nowadays. I think they're gonna be out of fashion soon due to overuse.

Am using china led 3w. 8 pieces to be exact. Just installed. I will give my feedback after using them a while.

Definitely go green. Think energy saving, no fancy chandeliers that uses cfl. Downlights and ambient lighting are quite expensive since u need to put a lot plus plaster ceiling cost but they look really nice and zero maintenance. Dont put downlights everywhere, mix and match with other types.

Living room can either put energy savings chandelier, downlight or even track lighting. Dining room put pendant lighting but if ceiling low use ceiling mounted lights instead. Kitchen more suitable use downlights. Toilet use wall mounted lights at both sides of a mirror.

where to buy this kind of arc floor lamp? found only one at ikea but not very nice.

16 downlights are overkill.

One light point is about rm50. You just spent about rm 750 on light points alone. I shouldn't say too much since my living room alone 15*15 has 10 points. But am using LED 3W. Normal downlights are really bright though so you shouldnt installed so many.

You try asking if 4 light points can share one current, sort of like an extension.. maybe will be cheaper.

For 16 downlights, I suggest you get 8 switches.. 1 switch for 2 downlights. Save your electricity bill. Sometimes you don't want too bright also. That's me la.

If still possible to change, get T5 ambient lighting. They're much better in terms of cost saving and light distribution. Only requires one or two light point to brighten the whole room. (think 2 light point versus 16 light points $$$$)

I think its relevant to point out that one light point is usually around rm50-55

T5

Yes, male to female connection. They come in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 feet
