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.

QUOTE(chongkiatz @ Jun 29 2024, 11:31 AM) 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++)  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.

QUOTE(chongkiatz @ Jun 29 2024, 01:42 PM) 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 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
