Hi All

Would like to share some of the shops worth mentioning after shopping for the past two months

RECOMMENDED

1. Wong Lighting (Tmn Paramount/Pudu) - good variety and flexible staff, easy to deal with if want to exchange product.

2. Rainbow Lighting Jln Puteri 4/6, Bandar Puteri (only sell Philips product)- friendly and complying staff

3. Seng Hup - lots of variety to make your day and nice designer lights. Price is ok only if got big discount.

5. Tong Ging Lighting (Pudu) - got specific products on promotion occasionally which can make a good buy .

6. Top Ten Puchong & House of Lighting Puchong (like pasar malam every time i went there) - fans very good price but if you get a spoilt one by luck, have to contact the manufacturer directly . Fino fans go ESH, cheaper. Lights prices more or less the same with other places for the same model. No after sales service.

7. Koo Lighting (Jalan Puteri 4/6) - I found they do not mark up price crazy like other shops , hence after small discount their price is still cheapest.

8. Sover Lighting (Viva Homes) - a place to source for big/small designer mounted ceiling lights at affordable price.

NOT recommended

1. Philips Experience Store at Menara Axis - Bad stocking management. Manned by an incompetent staff, plus always not around / not picking up calls.

2. Tsen Lighting - staff with attitude problem and poor product knowledge, can get better deal somewhere else.

Thanks your information.

how about johor bahru?
anyone got any recommendation?

Top 10 price not cheap la. Cheap because mostly China lousy brand. Good brand still expensive. Staff won't be serving you especially weekend. If want to go try weekday. During my purchase mid 2011 legend give me same cash price as top 10 and allowed me use c.card and free delivery. Delivery very important especially buying 5 or more fans.

Just spent 3k in Tsen Lighting KD...no choice their contemporary lamp design suit my taste.

I also went to Legend to get another same fan as Top Ten not enough stock. Best price from Legend is RM15 more expensive even though pay cash. Some more the fan has no guarantee card (top part of box cover missing) but Legend staff say they will get the manufacturer to repair for us if it is spoilt. Wherelse Top Ten gave us the guarantee card but tell not to contact them if fan not working, to contact manufacturer directly. But Legend electrical stuff are generally cheaper and the staff is attentive, i enquire about one model of LG washing machine is RM1050 and it is selling RM1300++ at Jusco.

My experience with legend was different. When I was sourcing for fan, legend saleman recommend me go top 10, he say is cheaper, so I go. Going top 10 I can sum up my experience as "beggar beg for money". Price are the same as legend. Ask for delivery need to add 60. Ask of I can use CC need to pay extra. Imaging I drive back 7 fans home. Crazy.

Go back legend pay them CC and free delivery. Less stress. All come with warranty card. Legend even help me report to Panasonic when my yuragi wobbeling like crazy. Anyway that was my 2011 experience. And I never go top 10 anymore. If I want light will go Wong lightning.

hahaha.... stop by the Tsen Lighting booth at Archidex. The flower vase standing there dunno anything about lighting. LCLY face summore. Only good for show

I bought most of my lighting from Wong Lighting at Jalan Pasar. The lady boss there very nice and friendly....

Recently I went to Lightcraft, the guy served me took down everything on a notepad (just like few items) and says he will email me a quotation the same day. Never got it
Text him and ask, he dont reply. Sigh....I guess it all depends who you kena that day ....

Anyone of you heard of eLed?
Their hq is at mahkota point and another office is located at viva home shopping mall

Yeah Wong lighting are good. 90% of my light from wong lighting at pasar road, rest from Wong lighting sea park. The sea park shop are nicer was renovated around that time.

Once i was at Tsen Lighting, their Bangla staff want to sell to another foreigner discount 30%, then the lady supervisor whack the Bangla infront of customer, say max only 20%, please lah if want to whack go behind, don't do it in front of customers. The lady supervisor always sit at counter, want to pay also her muka masam. The Chinese guy worst, very lazy, you ask only he answer, like not keen to do business.

Last time they got another shop called Eluminuz or something like that near SS2. Opposite Mungo Jerry. I bought some nicer stuff from there as well. But now closed already. Is this the same one at Sea Park?

Never been to the one in paramount yet.

This post has been edited by idoblu: Jun 26 2013, 03:18 PM

SS2 closed. Wong is at Paramount (also known as Sea Park) and Pudu.

No Idea if is the same. I only deal with SS2 and Pudu. The Fan are higher price compare to others place, even the staff hinted to me ask me get other place

I always get SS2 and Sea Park mixed up. I thought its the same place cause there is a pet shop called Sea Park but it is in SS2

Sorry typo error. I only deal with wong lighting at sea park and pasar road.

Sorry, have not bought from Elmo led's product before, so cannot comment. But if you are interested in similar products offered by Elmo led, i saw Valens at Viva Homes having 20% promotion for all their products now.

I think that Chinese guy and lady is the boss. Love their lamp design.

Now only see this thread. Usually buy all top ten

I live 5 minutes to Top Ten and the rest of the light shops around there but I still susah go jalan pasar to Wong Lighting.
please dont get me wrong, i am not saying they or their products are not good. I dont even know cause I never went in those around here before other than to look for
a particular light bulb or something small. my point is i live so close by and yet i went further to buy.....

This post has been edited by idoblu: Jun 29 2013, 10:24 AM

ya man, saw this and was wow but unfortunately it doesnt take a normal MR16 bulb.
LOL i asked the flower vase if can take MR16, she goes "huh?"

Btw those in the picture from Belgium - only Rm1800 per fixture. Now its fortunate that it doesnt take a MR16 bulb

When I was with my ex company I travel frequently to lion land. They got much more selection of such lighting and designer too. Price are cheaper too.

May i know where is this Legend shop ???

I'm just gonna get one of these Taiwan made track lights -


Anyone seen similar designs or better please let me know. Found these at Lightcraft

This post has been edited by idoblu: Jun 29 2013, 01:32 PM

Got branches at SS2/75 and Lot 14328 & 14329, Batu 4 - 1/4, Jalan Klang Lama. The one at Old Klang Road got better reputation according to some Low Yat forumers. Buy TV is risky as at one time they are suspected of recycling display sets as new tv.

Chigme, thanks for your info. I should be starting to scout on lights in 2-3 months time...

Saw this LED panel track lights at Sover lighting Viva Homes (i think made in China but quality is ok). Anyway Ligthcraft having sales till 6 July.

Attached thumbnail(s)

Thanks but not quite what I'm looking for.
The sale at Lightcraft usually does not includes down lights or track lights I think

Thanks bro...

went to Top Ten yesterday n bought a chandelier.. cheap but h3ll struggling to install it. not sure worth the hussle or not..

guys what are the downlights recommended to buy together with its watt size ?

need around 40+ for living,dining,kitchen,masterbedroom and car porch

Hi, would like to share my experience of buying downlights, having change the lights for 4 to 5 times before all settle! Hence very important to go to a shop that allows you to exchange. Below is my trial/ error and findings .

We decided not to use LED downlight as recent research shows that that LED can lead to blindness, damage to retina. Hence go for CFL. To determine what to choose depends on your

Ceiling height ?: If height is about 9ft, 6 inches type with 18w x2 bulb, frosted glass can cover about 6ft area. If not bright, you can change the glass easily to half frosted type/no glass type. If want brighter go for day light color. Warm white is the dimmest color.

Ballast or non ballast type? Lamp with ballast can tahan lama, but also noisy and hard to change if it is spoilt as you need to take out the whole unit of casing from your plaster ceiling. If you put in room, go for ballast free type (ballast can be noisy in small area) . If put in open/big area, noise is not noticeable.

Space in the plaster ceiling? If only 2-3 inches height, LED is the only choice. This is especially so for bathroom which may have limited space due to piping running on top of plaster ceiling. Can only get made in china product as Taiwan have not come out with slim type.

Not all Ballast noisy, mine are all ok. No permernant humm / buzz sound. Since I move in end 2011, I only had one time buzz problem but after switch off and on sound gone.

Buzz sound usually indicating the ballast is failing, that is like after 10 years of usage. My mom house all the downlight I install still running strong and is almost 10 years only change one bulb. Well worth it. low quality ballast may have this issue, when buy ask them for local made ballast not china "mari"..

How ofthen we see fluorescent light spoild? Especially the branded fluorescent.

Hi thanks for sharing. Cfl is only for tube right? I have done the wiring and plaster ceiling too just not yet open the hole for those round downlights

Thanks for sharing. 1st time light buyer here haha

It is energy savings lightbulb (stick or spiral type). The max watt/ type will be fixed, depending on the type of downlight casing that you choose.

Ahh ok thanks thanks

I strongly recommend not to buy from them, i had very very bad experience as the people there are real conman.
Before you pay at the fair, everything is all good and staff very nice.
After you Pay, disaster!!!!!! Call many times don't come for installation, when they do they are late.
The Boss there is a like gangster, customer paid money and they refuse to honour what was agreed on the invoice.
Finally, i have to request back for my money as it was not fair to pay and get abused.

Very bad experience

3) ELED - Staff are irresponsible and violent

What is the story?

Seem like Wong lighting not bad, may I know how is the price & quality?

Hey bros,
Any comment on the furnitures & lighting shop at viva home?
It seem like I can get all the things at viva home.

I go there quite often, can get a lot of inspiration for home furnishing.

Sover lighting - mainly sell ceiling light , price and design is ok
Achiever premium- variety of designer lights. price is on medium to high end, so have to negotiate hard since now no sales.
LC Lighting - high end lights and fans- price very expensive, staff don't bother to layan, so you can 6c6c as you like.

Thanks bro. I'm planning to go there by this weekend.
Wanted to get everything done before cny.
Will go for Achiever premium, to get some design light.
I heard that Puchong got a lot of lighting shop, any idea on it?

Yeah, Puchong have a lot of shops near IOI mall. You can just walk around and will discover the shops. But after I went four five shops I think Koo Lighting (Bandar Puteri Jalan Puteri 4/6) is recommended. The price is reasonable , they don't jack up the price like other shops but their shop renovation not so grand like Achiever. I won't recommend Phillip because now no sale, so discount they can give maybe 10% only. Sale time can get 30%-50%.

Is achiever considered cheap?labelled them as expensive due to one led light but i could be wrong.

Been to topten and house of lights and STILL im undecided what downlight to get, what t5 to get for my plaster ceiling

Price wise Achiver marked up kow kow especially on the more expensive range. I saw one pendant light selling RM5k at achiever, i bought from exhibition fair for RM2,500. I did buy one pair of LED wall light (RM320 each) from achiever as i need it urgently, after bargain, it is slightly about the same price from Top Ten (RM300). I guess the key is to bargain hard for high range item and for cheaper range to negotiate 15-20% discount from them.

For Top ten/house of light their fans are very cheap but lighting products like downlight and T5 pricing is comparable with other shops.

This post has been edited by Chigme: Jan 10 2014, 02:08 PM

Price and quality depend what you choose / want. There is no standard price & quality. Go to their shop and find out. My pricing is almost 2+ years now. No longer valid.

Tqtq, i will go there to have a look.
What is the brand u recommended?

No need to go for any particular brand. Choose the design that you think suit your house.

I will pay a visit in near future to check it out. Thanks.

Well the most popular shop is in puchong. I bliv most.pf you heard top ten or house of lighting. Thier prices arr low but always crowded and most of the items no stock unless u get their fsst moving items like downlights n fans. Bought some the items there but didnt want to fo therr again, pening la with all those crowd and the salesperson never entertain us unless we confirm wan to buy things

Top Ten ( near tesco) & Houses Lighting (near aeon big) in Puchong are the cheapest I've found.

It Is hard to say which is better Lighting Shop. I have been doing architectural And interior works for Sometime now And finding cheap but good quality ones soooo susah one. But the best option for you guys Is to get to know the sales person Or manager. If anything happend Easy to change those defect item. Sometimes even big Lighting Shops sell China Or Taiwan made product.

Most item now made in China, even Philips high end LED also made there. It will be great if you can share some shops that provide good service and reasonable price products.

I'll always go to Avalon lighting shop for normal clients but the high profile ones I will take them to Lightcraft or Alfo lighting because a lot of imports from Italy , Germany etc. like I mention earlier it is good to know the person in charge of the shop. I can always ask them to reduce their comisyen per pendant or special lighting on their side.
Normal down light the sales team have no comisyen but if you are interested to buy a pendant light , chandelier , you can always ask them to minus their comisyen a bit

I guess being in the reno/ID profession do have its advantages as the shop supervisor is keen to keep a good relationship with you and give a better discount. As for Avalon i have been to their warehouse sales, completely dissapointed (very limited outdated stocks and not cheap also )and after that i don't bother to visit their showroom.

Dropped by at viva home yesterday. Went to a few light shops including achiever premium and another one beside it. Interestingly, the designs there were waaay fresher and more modern than the designs available at other shops ive been to. Yes the price might be higher but there are also pendant lights between 200-500 which i feel looked fantastic

has anybody bought Philips brand lighting fixtures? I wonder if they are made in China for Philips and if the quality is any good?

http://www.philips.com.my/c/choose-your-lu...ire/269501/cat/

Yes I bought. Made in China although price is so expensive. Quality is ok but for that kind of price and design, I could get better value in other brands.

thank you
actually i only like two of their chandelier... will scout around first for alternatives

Could someone please let me know about Mr. Bright Lighting? good/bad in terms of quality/pricing/service?

Thanks,
EK.

Guys..

Do you know where can find?

My preferences lighting shop - focus light gallery, Seksyen 7. Prices quite reasonable.

Come on, isn't it obvious enough? Joined yesterday, and each and every post of yours you have to mentioned in details including the link of the shop you "so called went to purchase". Stop promoting lar..zzzzzz

There are people who think we born yesterday.

ppl still need to make a living la...

That is OK, want to market don't con people is good service. Just write I run a shop la.

As bolded.

Yeah to make a living of course it's fine. But being a hypocrite and indirectly promoting your business like that is so ..... backfired already

My favorite lighting shop so far is Top Ten. But the opposite corner shop (same block) is equally good but strangely quieter than Top Ten.

Fengsui no good. But the road are pretty bad now. Due to LRT construction.

Tong Ging is quite good. The one in damansara uptown. Really good service pricing OK only though.

Sorry if i'm offended u. Re-phased to avoid any misunderstanding on it. The reason behind is to shared some thoughts and experiences. Thank you.

Voted for this lighting shop- Focus Light Gallery, at Seksyen 7. Price reasonable and Gd quality!

the corner shop is much more better . at least the ppl there patiently serve me for almost 2 hours . Price okie too but service is more important . Top ten like pasar malam , stood there like a fool for 15 mins and dint manage to ask much and i noticed thier price also not the cheapest

i need 40 pcs of down light for my new place, CIMA lightings is having offer of 4" 7W LED DL at RM17 and 6" 12W LED DL at RM22, any one bought similar LED DL from CIMA lightings recently? Mind to share your experience with these LED DL.

Btw, i planned to install 4 pcs LED DL in a 10x15 room, do you think 4 pcs of 7W LED DL bright enough, or shall I get 4 pcs of 12W LED DL?

Thanks.

Not only u need to knw the watt but also the lumen . Besides that u also need to measure your ceiling height . Theres one thread discuss about lighting , you will find more info there.

No offense but by looking at your price , i think 7w one not be enough .led will be dimmer as time passes by especially the cheaper range and also brightness is pretty subjective too .

Thanks for sharing. Mine ceiling height is 9.5 feet, will try to find the lighting thread.

I look around the lighting shop around PJ area today, most of them selling between RM20-30 for a 4-6" 7-12w LED DL, the Philips 4" 7W LED DL cost about RM50-60 per piece (2x to 3x of the price)... worth paying for the Philips DL? Or I should get those old fashion DL casing + LED bulb, thus, I can change the bulb at any time...

This post has been edited by clickNsnap: Mar 28 2015, 11:17 PM

Anyone know if Laniber downlight is of good quality?

Most of them selling led between 20-30 bcos not many willing to pay for higher range . the philips that u mentioned i think is the lowest range for the brand but so so much better if compare with 20 type .
Not neccessarily must go with branded . China also got better quality one .

Of course normal e27 bulb downlight is more practical . Bulb can be changed easily and u can choose normal or upgrade to LED bulb later . Make sure you dont buy the one with cover cos insects will trap there . You can also mix LED and e27 downlights at different separate areas

This post has been edited by telur: Mar 29 2015, 09:40 AM

Thanks for the advise. Will consider DL casing + e27 bulb set up.

Btw, the CIMA Lightings shop selling the 7w & 12w LED DL brand is LEDEON, any one bought the LEDEON LED DL?

anyone go Mr. Bright Lighting before? recommended?

9.5feet is considered double volume.
Hence, depending on the lux level want to achieve.

7w might not be enough. It also will affect the lux based on ur fitting spacing.
If you have the previous CFLi, there should state the lumen output. From there, you can get the similar lumen replacement. Don't look at wattage anymore. It's no longer relevant.

Thanks for sharing the info.

Unfortunately, those unknown brand LED DL only indicate the wattage and no info for the lumen output. I have decided to opt for 6" 12w 4000k LED DL with two years warranty from Puchong, hope the DL works fine.

This post has been edited by clickNsnap: Mar 31 2015, 10:14 PM

DL Casing +e27 bulb is so ugly ... Lol

haha... I felt DL casing + e27 not so nice as well and I opted for the 6" 12W 4000k LED DL

Went shopping around Puchong over the weekend to scout for LED downlight and normal DL casing + e27 types.

Most of the shops were selling the China/Taiwan-made LED downlight
(12W) at RM22-RM26 while the local branded ones are ~RM60.

Warranties for LED downlight range between 6 months-2 years.

Opted for LED downlight coz prices for the normal DL casing plus LED bulb still cost ~RM20 at the shops we asked. I want to maximise my ceiling height as it will be very low if install plaster ceiling and the normal DL casing (7inch).

In the end, bought one of the China LED brand from Ten-Gro to let my contractor see first, although only 6months warranty. May consider the Taiwan LED brand (Super Eco) because that one has 2 years warranty - but not sure if quality or not.

May consider going to Wong lighting in Tmn Paramount based on the comments here.

So far, anyone use China/Taiwan LED types without any problem?

using taiwan LED for less than 1month..still couldnt give any feedback yet .so far so good

May I know what brand did you buy? Reading too many threads on LED downlight... so much information to process. Haha.

NSB frm houses lighting puchong ...RM27

i just send tsen lighting , the india can't really talk well..the only chinese dont even bother to talk with me.

their price is higher range as what i see , they sell mainly philip lighting.

i saw few downlight ,round one cost around rm 4x.. if i buy yhe gu10mv led (Rm90) it will cost me total at rm130 .

now my wiring men ask me to fix at least 12 light point and charge me at rm70 per point..the overall ROI for light become RM130+70= RM200 ..for 12 piece will end up like 2400RM...am i crazy hahahah

due to all those wiring ,now i have no choice to put in plaster ceiling for my ground floor..

Did i have other choice then to put downlight if i use plaster celing ?

Dining and living area you can put one pendant light each. But need to do extra support beam for plaster ceiling. This can be complemented by downlight and floor lamp.

I don't like Tsen Lighting. Not helpful and unfriendly.
Expensive is one thing. I prefer buying lights from Wong Lighting, and Lightcraft.
