For 12w, if ceiling is around 2400 - 2700mm height, the downlight should be 1.5 - 1.8m away. If u put those downlights too far apart, u will have shadow. It also depends on what kinda place and what kinda mood you wan to create. Some ppl prefer high lux like 400-600 lux but some ppl prefer the place to be really dimmed

QUOTE(ccheng0085 @ Jan 21 2016, 03:41 PM) Those china 18W i bought is square. This Philips now is round. after buka hole at the plaster ceiling then no turning back...  buy 5 to 10 more pcs for backup la. If got driver separately just buy few spare driver. LED itself seldom spoil one, mostly driver can't survive. Nowadays many China LED are actually share the same kind of driver (same voltage/current), only the packaging is different.

Nowadays many China LED are actually share the same kind of driver (same voltage/current), only the packaging is different. It cost you more than just using CFL bulb. CFL bulb already bad short life. And using LED worst than CFL ? Get a good quality LED. Doesn't matter it is slightly expensive. It will return back your money with the long lifespan and changing, diagnostic the bulb. China pasar LED is really a pasar LED. This is my experience.

Most ppl they won't understand, as i said, alot of sales person are misleading, which lead them to believe their LED will last forever. Since he adi bought a China brand LED, so i will advise either he continue to fix the lamp and buy some standby unit in case burn out and no replacement latter on or totally discard what he bought and opt for branded one. My concern is his plaster ceiling, not the cost of the LED.

If u not sure, go to shop and ask them to test the color for u & then walk away if they sell above retail price We do not know why you decided not to purchase this time, but we want to give you a special discount code - JANBLIP50F - which gives you 50RM OFF. The code applies after you spent 999RM. This promotion is just for you and expires on 23-01-2016. Bought it. Got discount RM50 since I bought over 1k. ok la....

QUOTE(luvox @ Jan 18 2016, 12:27 AM) Reply to ppl who PM me regarding philips LED downlight: One year warranty. Retail price is rm 29.9 before GST. But u can get it rm 29.9 include GST at some shop. If not u can buy from official website if u need more than 12 units. http://www.blipmy.com/Lighting/Philips-LED...ED-9W-440834066I COD 12 units via blipmy. The rest i buy from ideal lighting house near penang time square, rm 28.90 include GST. I also bought philips 3.5w, rm 19.90 very nice.Some of the shop dint sell this 9w model, mayb not much profit. They sell older model 10w or 12w, if u look at lumens, some of this higher watt philips lower than this 9w. Some call this 9w is 3rd generation philips essential Hi Bro, Tried to access the link and found error. Would you advise the modeL? Thanks
