based on some guide outside.

warmwhite for sleeping.

living daylight

dining coolwhite..

toilet - i pick day light..i prefer bright because my tiles original is all black..dont want to see cicak and step on it...(FYI i'm 4x old eye also blur blur ahahah )

but it just about your own taste..u can buy in bulk for 3 different color and mix it when u want..

it never enough and it will cost you 10k for whole house rewiring..

try to split to few switch for pair of DL , at least u can customize the lighting in your environment or even save electricity bill.

power socket you need to beware , like oven/water boiler /water pump/aircon all require high capacity...other all normal.
tv area at least 4 power socket (astro, LED,Player,Switch/NAS) ...u know lah.
room at least 2 power socket in either wall..so cleaning/vacuum/..

do remember to fix some lighting point for wall light for kid..we do a mistake for not fixing any wall light and just go for DL ..(kid mah)

wanna ask the led lighting that come with driver without earth connector. so just ignore doing earthing?

nowadays very cheap. frosted LED lighting 4" just cost RM17.50 and come with warranty. cheaper than those downlight with light bulb

Once the driver burn, it should isolated from the lamp.

But if you worry, just see you can attach an earth wire on the lamp metal plate.

ohh. then will just ignore. the led quite flat therefore no spot to clip on

Don't take my word completely. I don't no how is the China cheap DL quality.

Got to be careful.

that brand gave 6 months warranty. LEDeon brand.

Hi guys, will it be weird, if let say i have 3 pair 12w in living hall for 13' x 15' space, where for the front (TV) and middle hall using 3500k, 6500k for sofa section reading purpose?

don't turn on both at the same time should be ok.. diff colour temperatures will confuse eyes/brain.. the mood of the space also mixed up.

thanks yeah i will have 3 switches

Do not on them all together at the same time should be ok.

Guys,

I have a concern here...what is the best solution for downlight here in term of electricity cost saving and easier maintenance (replacing faulty item)?

1. Using energy saving bulb downlight with casing
or
2. Using LED downlight

It's depending the ceiling height for the plaster ceiling. Now the trend all using LED downlight compare the size with those casing more slimmer for LED. However if maintenance prefer use casing. And now a lot of LED bulb can replace for energy saving bulbs, cost of LED bulb will be higher abit.

Depends what brand, type and watt of the LED bulb. Some are cheaper than a set of LED downlight.

Guys.... Need some advice...
Want to only install only one downlight for living area of 16 x 16
Is 18w downlight sufficient?

been using Philips downlight model DN051B since January 2013. Still good. Total qty: 9

Not sufficient for downlight. Usually 18W is around 6" round downlight. It will not cover the whole area. You need more downlights to cover the whole area.

My 12x12 also need 4x2bulbs 18watt downlight to have bright level of my preference, 16x16 one 18watt maybe good go for dimming, what the area for? Of just watching movies maybe is ok. If want ti use the area for reading will be bad.
