Actually buy cheapo LED downlight not much diff with popular brand. philips and osram price is high compared to NSB. Now puchong Houses Lighting selling cheap for NSB LED lighting, 4inch rm29 ,6inch rm39. Both price are inclusive GST.

NSB how long warranty ?

There is 1 brand which are very reliable. Ecosmart. But it don't sell here. Been using it for almost 3yrs.

What for if just looking at the price. If it keep burn out, it is still a crap quality.

I heard from shop owner in PJ saying NSB quality very good, installed her own house 2 years plus still bright and did not burn out. Anyone have experience with NSB?

Hmm... Can trust ?

What about Otali?

My light guy recommended me NSB la.. cheaper than the other brands..

Many just OEM from same factory. In the manufacturing line, there are rejected quality, QA quality. Is all depend what quality they take.

LED light are easy business. You and I also can open this led light business without high cost.

Source the material from china. Get the lowest price. You want complete OEM or assembly yourself. Apa pun boleh. Ship in container. Get a comfortable price and sell.

For quality, that talk later. You see most of the ppl are not looking at quality. What they want is the lowest price.

RM 7 for a downlight shell, some can even go lower. Vs a solid build costing around RM 20+ buyer are blinded with the cheap price.

I just heard Phillip and Osram. Others one never heard before.
But i used normal light not LED Phillip is higher and brighter other one.

im using vekocy brand. also recomend YTL ,ledeon,feelight

Sora leh? Any comment?

Wong electric in PJ is selling this , so far they said still ok but i did't bought the led bulb , i bought a china make one cheaper...call FBL...


Personally i prefer YetPlus although same also import from China but they give 2 yr warranty wow... Today i just went house lighting (Yetplus bigger reseller) they dont have my model so i got no choice but to sampu
NSB for my toilet use.hahahah.


I saw Sora at those bathcare shop ..price almost like philip, GE range..but can dim leh.. up to you ..if i got enough cash i will try some..no harm.

Sora I found quite cheap. About rm60 each, non dim able. 12watts with close to 1000 lumens.
But is also considering NSB.

Can give review on NSB? You got the multicolor or fix 1 color one?

I look at the Single color one although price different not much , but i dont really trust those mechanic of click & change color.

Will only install next week by my wireless as he not free this week ..

I found below guideline from one of the led light producer.. , maybe you can use it.

WarmWhite for living , bedroom , hallway
white to cool white - kitchen , study , bathroom, office.
daylight - commercial area.

Thanks for sharing. Do share photos of the colors once installed.
Pm me the price and model number u got for NSB. I can use for my reference.

I seldom see cool white.
Most are either selling Warm white 3k or daylight 6k only

I'm using 4000K. Not sure what you call this.
It's not bluish white like 5000-6500K. A tinge of yellow in it. It's a very nice color and bright enough for kitchen and bathroom. I used to like 2700-3000K but now I find it to be too yellow. If 3500K that would be perfect I think but I can't find it.

Did you buy the hitachi fridge bro?

This post has been edited by idoblu: May 22 2015, 05:44 AM

You mean the one in the center? 4k.
What brand one you got, what price ah?

And yeah I ordered the fridge but it will be delivered in 1 mths time. Still renovating

Code QBS027 etc

jz I prefer durability and quality. warranty is no use for me as if d light always black out and I need to claim up n down to change it....

WOng got sell most of the philip brand , and more friendly approach as well.

as for durability ,although some seller said use >RM70 will last longer, there is no feedback on their brand except maybe philip,osram,GE.

I ready to try yetplus & NSB + another samsung chipset first . (touch wood hopefully they last at least 1 yr)..

i will go down house of lighting to stock up some of those unit just in case

what is the ideal gap between 2 pcs led downlight(4") to feel cozy?

Hi, can u share the shop name & location?tq

Its only rm27 for 4" & rm35 for 6" , gst inclusive . Just went there last weekend .

Houses lighting
Address :

Bandar Puchong Utama,
47100 Puchong,Selangor.

I fact the price with glass also not much diff too ...really cheap sales

Nsb downlight how many years warrantee?

1 year warranty

Do you mind sharing the specs for NSB?
Lumens per watt and CRI. plaster ceiling starting this week or next so need to get my downlight real soon

Anyone know Opple? Any coo and for this brand

There're 2 choices of the lights, one is 4 inch , one is 6inch.
If there is a room around 100sf - 150sf , you will need 4inch x 4.
If you prefer brighter, you may select 6inch x 4 ( really bright as it suitable for a family gather at living room).
if you are using 6inch light, you may choose to only switch on 2 lights at one time to save electric bill.
Note: The estimation above are for 9ft wall


4000K(a.k.a cool white) is a bit yellowish, but it depends on your wall color and ceiling color.
The more yellowish your wall, the more yellowish the light is.
If your wall is white, you wont feel too much difference with white color.

I don't suggest you take 6000K as the light is too bright, everything will become grey+blue color instead of showing the actual item color. For example, your wall is white color, but the light will cause it looks like kinda grey+blue, the color became not really natural.

Another NSB user.
Adding on, lumens claimed for NSB is 100lumen/w, something in that vicinity. 4" is 12W, and 6" is 18W. No idea on the claimed lumens as I don't have a lumen meter, but rated wattage is more or less accurate after testing.

Seconded about 6000K, you don't want to be using that color temperature in places other than where you'll be doing work or makeup etc. as it can be harsh on the eyes. Your home might end up looking like a lab lol.

Thanks for the tip

4000k light can read newspaper or not?

Yep. Shouldn't be a problem. It's like natural light.
6000k above is for when you need things to be really precise, like cooking or washing things. Every imperfection seems to turn up under those lights, they don't hide anything due to their spectrum. Of course it'll be good for reading newspaper too since "more accurate", but balance between eye strain and accuracy.

More than enough
It doesn't look like orange color as 2700K (Warm White)

Ooo..

I choice 6000k/Whitefor my living area , mix 6000k +3500k for dining.

all bedroom , i use 3500k(yellow) , toilet i prefer to use 4000k(yellow+white) . so far it fit my house.

for outdoor i will suggest to take at least 18w or 24w if your car porch is taller + wider.

my neighbor put like at least 20 downlight for his car porch(different people different
tast)...

alway ask your wiringman to build extra switch for example 2 switch for 4 downlight..at least you can close half of them (most wireman charge per downlight is rm120, of cause the more switch we request is better but not individual like 1swtich-1downlight.

I'm leaning towards NSB now. Getting this over Sora due to the price.

my gf hates 3500k. she only allows me to use 6000k led

[/quote


Can share your 6k lighting setup? Wanna see if got feel or not

6000k is so clinical. It's like staying in a hospital. How can anyone stand it for long periods of time?

my gf is a doctor nia. no wonder. i said like that u all told 6000k like lab and hospital then she just laughed and proud liao.

A big no no for 6000K, especially rooms. I only have my toilet lights 6000K because my tiles are brownish yellow, I don't want 4000K light make my toilet become even yellowish.

I saw a lot of people bought 6000K LED lights from houses lighting.
I wonder how they tahan?

Malaysian mentality, never bother to do proper research. If it looks decent on the spot, just buy. No need to think so much.

I use 6000k for living n dinner.. I prefer white when enjoy my tv n food haha too dark is not my tea ..

Anyhow I split into few switch at least I can off few pair if not using

kekkeee my current living hall using 3000k , ended up I wearing wrong pair of socks (blue +black) to work.... lol

I will stick warm white for new house and track light warm yellow for decoration.

Light temperature really personal preference nothing, some like it daylight (5500-6500), some like it bit yellowish 4000+, some like it very yellow 3000..

Personally I hate having daylight temperature that are not bright enough.

Now Phillips 4" are selling at 24.90 at pudu and 29.90 in puchong the shop beside house of light, do you ask think any chance is fake Phillips??

maybe ...too cheap to be true.

Look for Sirim sticker and the Philips hologram sticker if any.

Anyone using Laniber before? Price wise is very similiar to NSB according to the In home fair price last week.

btw, Laniber is 2 yrs warrantty & NSB is 1 yr warrantty.

Laniber...i saw it before at one shop in puchong..or Avalon also selling it too.. but price is abit higher then NSB...

my NSB downlight, 50% are produced in Nov 2014 and 50% produced in June 2015.

Damn it, hole size is different!
also the 2015 version comes in IP44, water proof. Can see rubber seal at the cable from driver to LED.

Had to bring in contractor to enlarge holes for the lights.

any idea where to get Philips brand downlight?

Jalan pudu opposite Wong lighting and shop beside puchong light shop all selling around 30 bucks for 4inch, please check for us whether got sirim sticker if you go to survey

Pilipino brand is expensive like Osram ,.. Worth to take is up to your budget

I thought Laniber is going to EOL (stop production) that what the Avalon sales told me that is why I bought another brand at Avalon, PAX LED

bro...not cheap right ? almost same price like Osram/GE/Philip...

Yup , Pak LED I bought for RM50/pc that is promotional price

Thai is the respon i dont get from them ..

NSB 12w RM27, 18w RM37

house of light puchong

I think mostly I will go for this in coming weekend

Dear sifus,
My room has two light points with one switch. I plan to install 4 downlights with two switches.
Is there anyway for me to not hack the wall for wiring and install new switch (with two switches).
Is there such a thing I can use that, say, if I switch on once, will light up two downlights. Switch off then on once more, will light up all four etc. (Just like some lightings with LED and bulb).
Thanks

we made a mistake when doing up the lighting when first move in. one of the switch was connected to 9 DL, the other 6 DL. contractor did not advise and since its a new house for us, we also didnt know

going to do renovation and redo wiring, also add some more power sockets, its never enough

Which one more suitable for living room?

4000k or 6500k?? which one good for eyes?

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.

Hi guys, has anyone use ADD led downlight before, brightness same as Fantas and also giving 2 years warranty.

the reflector of my downlight always fell down when a huge lorry passes my house. i think the spring is kinda weak.
what can i do to fix it?

which brand has the brightest fluorescent bulb?

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

This post has been edited by prominen: Dec 16 2015, 02:43 PM

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?
