Just changed some of the fluorescent to LED, running cold and bright. No more flickering.
One of the plastic fitting broke so I went to get a new one, apparently when I ask for LED fitting, they sell those without starter slot, which is not compatible with Philips LED. This is what 'led fitting' looks like: L---------N This is what philips led fitting looks like L--------- N-------- Any good brands recommendation for those with 'LED fitting'? All I see in this post are philips 20w super bright. I personally don't like the Philips wiring, when I want to go LED, I will get rid of ballast and starter, and fittings all together due to old plastics may break easily. I also like the simpler design... LED with dummy starter, I don't like the idea. Can any electrician comment on this? Are there any benefits doing one side powering other than compatibility reasons? I will never want to go back to traditional ones anymore.. no more flickering on start, flicking in use, also much colder and saves power. Fun thing I know is that the one I replaced comes with Philips starter from Holland which is very durable. |

Just went Puchong TK light. What they recommend is:
1. if you don't need fancy well known brands, use two side wiring 2. if only use well known brands like philips, use one side wiring. Bought one 20W philips for testing, cant see the difference with naked eyes. I didnt bypass the ballast so sometimes the led will flick quickly then turns on. QUOTE(jutamind @ May 21 2019, 07:35 AM) Other than philips, every shop sells different brand for two side wiring tubes Can try FSL since ikea sells them, should be relatively reliable.Japanese quality are no longer reliable like last time, since their production line is everywhere now, instead of japan only china brands are getting better since they really care about their brand name now, and they mostly manufactured in their own country & factory.

LedAvance is by Osram. The price is more expensive than Philips. On FSL,some said they are oem for Toshiba. The price sold by major department store is pricey. I gotten about rm10 each for 4ft in a local ligthing shop.FSL is 18w, 1800 lumens vs Philips (High Output) 20w, 2100 lumens.
My 1st T8 led is FSL and since upgraded to Philips now. FSL is reliable, obviously not bright vs Philips HO. For slimline T8 led bracket, using Philips wiring setting, one can get from Houses of Ligthing in Puchong.Better quality than the generic rm5 one (they also selling generic one) but price is slightly above rm10 each. To me it's worth as bracket easily last more than 10 years. This post has been edited by mot88: May 24 2019, 08:24 AM |

Hi guys, I have installed Philips ecofit 20w with EMP starter replacing fluorescent t8 32w. I monitor on daily basis and don't see the electric consumption going down. The light is indeed brighter than fluorescent though.
Is that normal? This post has been edited by ryuzaki_L: May 31 2019, 02:07 PM |

I monitor on daily basis and don't see the electric consumption going down. The light is indeed brighter than fluorescent though. You can do the calculation.Is that normal? 32W-20W=12W save. If 1 day 8hr ON - 12Wx8hr=96whr save perday. 1 Month saving 96whr x 365 /12=2.9kwh of saving permonth. TNB rate 0.218sen/kw x 2.9kwh=0.63sen saving each month. Do you see your bill drop 0.63sen ? |
