Then 3 pcs is sufficient (900-1200lm). Ensure you get quality downlights like Philips/Osram as their stated lumen output is true output.
Have seen Philips 1200lm beat those China branded so claimed 1440lm when we use a lux meter to measure. (122lx vs 100lx).
Also the Philips 1200lm only consume 12W whereas the China branded needs 18W.

ya looking for CRI 80 based on the advices from the bosses here  tongue.gif

btw i see a brand called Pila which based on the specs has the CRI 80 but pricing is lower than Ledvance/Philips. Not sure if anyone has the experience with this Pila brand? reviews on lzd/shp seems positive

thanks

Pila is a low cost solution from Philips. For own house use, I only go for Philips with at least 30KHrs (3-Year Warranty) for downlights. No point to skimp for a few pcs as the installation cost is way higher.
If you are concern with energy savings, look for downlights with efficacy of >95lm/W.

Same here which is the reason why I changed all my older downlights to LED downlights. Typical LED bulbs lasts 8-10KHrs offering 1-Year warranty. Better quality lasts 15KHrs and better efficacy.

Example as below:

PHILIPS E27 LED Bulbs:

10Khrs 1055lm 11W
15KHrs 1055lm 9.5W

To replace these E27 LED Bulbs downlight, we only need to replace it with 900lm LED downlight that is brighter and higher efficacy.
