QUOTE(brutus @ Jun 30 2023, 08:38 PM) Good quality luminaires like PHILIPS, one do not have to change every 2-3 years. I have been using a higher grade than PHILIPS Consumer series that is rated at 25,000Hrs and this is the 6th year in service. Based on my average 4-5hrs use per day, this downlight will last me another few more years before needing to change. what kind of lights are those?

QUOTE(scyap @ Jan 25 2024, 10:37 PM) what kind of lights are those? the newer so called "home grade" downlights which now rebrand as "diamond cut" rate for 50k hours. The older ones were called "essential" and then "meson". All are just as good. Mine last 7 years and counting. Out of 20+, only toasted one.

Thanks Deng is subsidiary of Lightcraft which is down the road and sells expensive genuine designer light fixtures so imho Deng stuff is lower range but still got quality Their prices should be higher than your budget lighting stores but the fixtures are better in quality.
