Hi all,

just to share a little of my experience,

after visiting most of the lighting shops i found ppl recommended, i finally found one shop which is selling the cheapest among all.

S&S LED at old klang road, opposite pearl point hotel.

Normally i buy LED Surface downlights 12Watt from houses lighting & Top Ten,
They are selling at RM 21 -RM 25.
Now i found the Same thing same grade and with 2 years warranty at S&S LED for RM 19.

They also have cheaper ones like RM 8-15, but quality difference lo.

Their deco lights also quite cheap.

Happily bought for my 2 new units

Safe up a lot haha

and also,,, They have a beautiful cashier hahaha

What brand? At least share the picture of the downlights .. or the cashier.

Can have photo for "same grade and with 2 years warranty at S&S LED for RM 19" ?
Thanks

Any recommended lighting shop in Cheras?

Can share the cashier's photo?

Anyone know brand GEC LED downlight. My fren said rm20 only

been there upon reading your post. unfortunately, they only carry the led with temperature of 6500k and 3000k, dont hv 4000k which I was looking for. I asked them why dont hv 4000k and they said bcos is not popular . Aiyah....did not read your post properly about the pretty cashier....cisss!!!

anyone hear of enersun brand? is GE brand worth to buy?

This thread seems to have stagnated a bit. Hope to revive it with some latest pricing. I just bought a few over the weekend.

CIMA Lighting, Balakong
Price includes GST
Philips LED E27 9w RM16.90
Philips Essential LED E27 9w RM13.50
E27-E27 Extension RM3.50

Aeon/Jusco
Not including GST
Philips Essential LED E27 9w Twin Pack RM26.90

I don't feel comfortable with the light of the new & cheaper Philips Essential. According to Philips' website, it's CRI>70 whereas the older one is CRI>80.

They also sell Osram and Cielo. Haven't tried Osram. My E14s are Cielos.

Never knew this thread existed earlier.
Bought some LED lights end of last year.

Shop: Alt-Tech Electrical & Trading, Bukit Mertajam, Penang

1. GE T8 LED Tube 16W (1600 LM) Performance: RM 61.20 + 6% GST
2. GE 4" 9W LED Round Down Light (750 LM): RM 66.30 + 6% GST

Hope worth the investment

GE is pulling out from Asia.

I do aware about this, the salesman in the shop did mention it.
I do have backup plan in case of my GE downlight or T8 tube not functioning.

Round downlight:
1. Replace using similar diameter downlight
2. Replace using E27 downlight with additional housing
3. Worst case if first two options not available, replace with downlight with larger diameter, hence make the plaster ceiling hole diameter larger.

T8 light:
1. Should be easy to find replacement tube, example Philips.

This is what i use, cheap & good. 1 year d & no issue. It is efficient, brighter than older high wattage less efficient LED

Philips 9w rm29
Philips 3.5w rm19

There is no reason to go for china brand, since philips is as cheap as china brand n efficient if compare lumen per watt. Should be less likely to cause fire :|

Is that normal T8 tube to replace a flourescent tube? Cause back in Dec 2015, I bought a 4ft T8 18w from CIMA Lighting for only RM16.90. I think it was Philips also.

The size and shape of the GE T8 LED tube looks the same as the normal T8 fluorescent tube, and fit on the normal T8 housing.
I bought the LED tube together with the housing for new installation, not as replacement on old fluorescent tube.

I see, that explains the higher cost. Mine is just the T8 tube. To keep costs down, I reused the existing housing after removing the ballast..

fuhhh......really expensive,
how long to claw back the investment...

Just hope the light can last for more than 10 years.

Philips Essential series is budget version.Lower performance per watt and hence cheaper price.

Their standard series is Philips 'BrightComfort'.

That would be the glass tube.
Power factor 0.7
Cri 70
And lower lifespan. I think 20k hrs
