anybody know the cost to install downlight?
2 electrician quoted me RM50-60 per downlight installation (excluding the downlight cost)!!!
weeks back i bought 4'' round downlight at emart which cost RM8 including bulb each.
then i got the quotation to install is ard 50-60 per downlight, this sound unreasonable to me.
but since both electrician quoted the same price, it could be the current market price, is it?
any idea abt the cost of installation?

my master roon 22x17 - need how many 4' downlights?
smaller bedroom 14x11 - need how many 4' downlights?

hi Napoli26, i not sure wat is lighting point?

yes. include.

TK, u heard me right.
i bought total 17pcs 4'' downlight = RM136.

2 electricians quote me RM50-60 installation for each unit.
example: 4 units in small/medium bedroom = RM200 if 50per unit.
if 17units at RM50 = RM850.
RM60 = RM1020.

it means, buying those traditional lamp cost RM20 far cheaper and easy installation also.

i did think of DIY myself. but i totally no idea about the wiring for downlight.
if i would have the details to diy, i'll do it myself.

if i would has to be charged RM50-60 for unit downlight installation, i probably install traditional old type of lamp.

anyone has idea, what cause the bulb blinking from one to another? is it due to wiring?
