Stainless Steel dowlight fitting with osram/philips E27 <$10 Homedec Penang.. Shop name forgot..keke
but at mainland.

Those E27 downlight will built in balast not lasting, life is even shorter if u have glass cover the fitting. The heat will build up and damage the bulb
whilst the PLC bulb with separate balast last very long... mine last 8 years.. and the $2.20 PLC bulb last 4 yrs and still going.
Never had problem with the balast as long as u dont use the one with aluminium coil..

Tumpang this thread.

Anyone knows where can I look for a good energy saving downlight (incl mounting, full set)? Want to see the range for energy saving downlights and LED downlights.

In Selangor or Penang is fine.

Thanks.
