hi, want to ask question about eyeball lighting.

not sure if anyone's house is using such lighting, wanna ask if buy eyeball as per screenshot on the first one(using shopee as example), do we need to buy the casing as well? what's the purpose of the casing actually? does putting casing actually make it look more pleasing/better?

the thought of having casing + the eyeball itself is costing me alot of money haha

This is installed with plaster ceiling.  Your plaster ceiling has to cut a round hole to fit this.

This has built-in LED = when LED spoiled / burn-out, you need to change the entire thing (incl. casing).  Cannot just change the LED alone.

Below is link to the actual item. 

For the price they are selling, I don't think the LED is going to be very bright.

sorry just wanna clarify with you,

1. the link you provided is the Eyeball(the one giving lighting itself)
2. the CASING (in the ss i provided), is just the casing ALONE, or does it come with eyeball attached with the casing already? if the casing comes with the eyeball attached to it already then i guess it makes sense when the item spoil you have to change the entire thing.

my ID actually adviced to do up double eyeball in every lighting spot to light up the entire place(almost 95% of my place is all double eyeball set-up). Cost wise i would assume is much higher as compared to normal LED downlight as you only need 1 and the angle of light is 120 degree as compared to eyeball which is 30-38degree.

do i need to care about lumen?

Eyeball in general looks very elegant because of the narrow beam as compared to normal downlights. Most eyeball comes in 36D or 24D and certain models can be dimmed. Normal downlights come in 110D-130D.
Depending on your ID design, most will use in conjunction with cove lighting. Of course you need to care about lumen.
For eyeball (either MR16 or GU10) do not bother (my advise) to consider other brands except Philips/Osram/GE.

im so sorry i think i've seen alot people talking about MR16 or GU10 but i have 0 clue on what those are. i only know i need to find Philips ones hahaha, i was considering the top sale in Shopee the one selling 51k units (i cant share link due to probation account)

im using this eyeball with casing in my house, looks really good.
if you have time, just scroll in the thread, someone posted their house photo with it too.
but keep in mind, eyeball has smaller radius, thus u need lots of it compared to downlight.
if u have budget issue, just go for downlight.

i install downlight in bathroom, and porch only.

yeah, they suggested me to use ALOT of eyeball, do you mind sharing some photo with casing in the house? the casing is not together with the plaster ceiling is it? really appreciate it thank you.
