recessed e27 reflectors require to be oversized for heat dissipation. otherwise you end up changing them every 2-3 years. And their light are more narrower require either up the W or add more. With modern downlight eg osram or philips lasting 6-8 years, really don't see the reason unless you want scene switch or some smart settings.

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  biggrin.gif , back to 9 year ago it was consider as China Unbranded RM30 LED  laugh.gif  , at that moment those Philips branded need RM60-70 for 1 Unit LED  shakehead.gif  (nowaday philip LED only need around RM20++)  sweat.gif

indeed, led changed the land scape. But the earlier ones were really not that efficient compared to tube. the efficient really came from being compact enough to distribute lumens better in a given space. So it was really a lot of investment in wiring extra switches. I started with Philips 2nd gen recessed when it only does 700lm/W @ 35myr per pop for 10w ones at bulk price.

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  sad.gif 

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

hard to say its not standard. it just standard to different region. I remember philips is interchangeable with osram. never used them i think they are over priced. in fact i like them compact and less intrusive
