hi guys , i been looking around LED downlight , recently seeing alot of RM6-8 LED downlight with SIRIM , is that they are good enough as long as got SIRIM?

some recommend me MEGAMAN brand around RM16-19 per unit


i not sure those brand actually make huge diff?

those expensive can tahan ke? i last time using the Perfect One brand around Rm20-30 without sirim one , some also can't tahan more than a year , some become dim too , now my "perfect one" spare unit LED already finish replace those broken LED , just recently try search shopee/lazada and found out alot of SIRIM LED nowaday RM6-9

maybe i buy 2pcs to try it out?

my friend told me last time philips is good , but nowaday de philips quality macam not so good already

Yup , during change downlight, have some chance to damage a little of plaster board , can easily get the Filler Putty from Mr Diy , most of the time the outer Downlight White Frame can cover up those damage plaster

i been DIY and change myself the led downlight for around 10 year time already , within this 10 year i think got change around 20 unit already (bought 4 time x5 spare unit) , just recently found out some cheap LED with SIRIM for only price RM7-8 , holy shit LOL ,

last few day i order the MEGAMAN downlight for RM16.90 1 unit to test out from lazada (because i no dare to order those RM6-8 downlight yet) , now i gonna test out those cheap SIRIM LED and see how is the quality and life spend ....


and do expensive vs cheap LED play jimat electric roll ? or same only because both 12w

Previous house he using philips , now he move to new house and using MEGAMAN this brand , and he saying that this brand is very famous now, price range rm16-19 , cheaper alittle bit compare to philips which is around rm20-22

He do satisfy with megaman and recommend me , so i just give it a try 😀

But i do wan to try those cheap sirim downlight , see will have huge diff or not 😆

those osram / philips brand , after 2-3 year also wont dimming? Sometime the light no rosak , but can see very obvios dimming already

The cheap SIRIM LED from shopee just arrive 2 day ago , really susprise nowaday LED so light weight and with build in Driver , yesterday install it and let see can tahan how long to get DIM or burn out

The old LED that i replace was 2015 date Chop at the LED (actually this LED stil working , just become dimming) , and the old one with driver is heavy , time fly already 9 year using that LED , back to 9 year ago it was consider as China Unbranded RM30 LED , at that moment those Philips branded need RM60-70 for 1 Unit LED (nowaday philip LED only need around RM20++)

actually i wan to test out the Philip downlight too , but i see the outer size for philip is only 140mm , compared to my old china & megaman downlight which is 145-150mm+- , the philip run small , my inner hole is 130mm , just wonder why philip didnt follow standard 4inch size outer which is 145-150mm

if replace the old light to philip , confirm will saw the square black mark , can be solve easily with repaint a little at the edge of downlight , just need do extra step

I been using the light since 06-2024 til today , so far non of them are shutting down , i actually quite surprised for the quality at this price 😅

I even repeat order few time and replace some of my dimming old LED downlight. Now my storage stil have 3unit for spare , for rm6-7 1 unit , that really insane. Cheaper than 1 plate of chicken rice 😂

Here the link , I think as long as with sirim approved will be good to go.

https://my.shp.ee/5xeMgDG , u might go to the seller profile to look for other size or option.

About the multi-color led , i cant comment much as i dont use any of them, i feel it just a gimmick , because i stay few airbnb with multi-color LED but i dont feel i need it , might be excited for few day or to show off to friend & family member , but after this will be like.....trash.

Since multi-color led not that expensive too, not a bad choice to try it , if next time really rosak le , just change it , its so easy to replace an downlight LED.

life short bro , just go for it if u really want to try , u can change back anytime if it causing u problem , for me not a big deal.

My home was Square type of downlight , exchange the LED downlight might cause some damage the plaster ceiling especially if the spring is TIGHT one , but this cheapo SIRIM LED spring was not that tight , very easy to take down

For the broken plaster ceiling , i just get the PYE Putty Filler , can easily get from Mr Diy , and because my home ceilling was paint with maxilite plus (that most majority home ceiling paint) , so i just go to shopee buy 1L around RM10-15 for stand by if needed to repaint at the filler area , so far so good
