Hi ,

my house was under renovation... plaster ceiling just done.

Now I was thinking what size downlight should I buy?

my condo was 1200 sqft... I plan to install square downlight
9 ft height after plaster ceiling done.

LED downlight 4 inch = RM30

LED downlight 6 inch = RM48

may i know which inch normally you all install for your condo?

Normally I arrange like below,
4inch for small area - small room or toilet
6inch for big area - living hall, dining hall, kitchen and master bedroom

4 inches for minimalist. Do bear in mind, 4 inches down light means less room in the design. Get those that runs on single bulbs, not double to reduce heat which in turn, burns a bulb faster that it should usually last.

Nowadays no much ppls still using bulb and they will decide for square or round LED type

need to consider ceiling height and room size but usually 4" is good enough for a condo of your size

4" = 100mm that is too smaller

At least go with 180mm & 230mm as standard size

I'm referring to TS and his price. Can get LED?

hmmm ... Nice Thanks for suggestion




Im using LED one, what mean by less room design




my ceiling height still got 9FT (+abit) after install.... hmmm your also using 4'' for your house?




Yes, this is LED downlight.

i think pendaflour better

but on the other hand, 4 inch

my personal opinion, for square downlights, if the electrician didn't align it properly, u can see the misalignment quite jarring compared to round downlights.

Which would have better ventilation if you have 2 bulbs in a down light? The bigger one will, hence reduced chance of burnt bulb.

I hope for that price, the quality is good enough. Most reputable/reliable ones I came across has always been above RM50 .. with 2 years warranty. Maybe prices have fallen further.

Yes I'm using 4 " my place is 1500sqft with about 10' height after plaster ceiling was installed

I'm using 5 inch down light. Does 5" really rare? Afraid that might difficult to find replacement later

you mean better than LED?


hmmm....so prefer round? because i ask my friend,she was giving my opinion is because our house is square, so using square is better... that i get the idea from.

mine one RM30 4inch" 1 year warranty only.... hmmm, sometime also depend on luck for warranty stuff.


Thanks Dude, then i think i will go for 4inch"


So far I ask three shop, they only give me option of 4inch and 6 inch....maybe got 5inch but they dint ask me

this must be joking~~

id advice~~ 4'' will be more than enuf~~

Hi,

Mind to share where you get the 4" inches LED down lights at RM30 and what brand? I am doing renovation for my house and plan to use LED down lights as well.

Thanks in advance!

Mine is terrace house....using 4" round type. Height >10 feet. Bright enough.

for my house, i go for 6" round. But I have T5 lights at certain areas too.

I guess it is personal preference, i would say. no right or wrong on either round or square.

my house all 4 inch very bright mang
