I have seen a demo by one of the PHILIPS Professional Partner in my condo demo.
As per normal our corridors were using those generic China LED DL D150 18W (rated 1500lm). They showed up with an equivalent D150 size DL but running only 12W (rated 1300lm). Hence it is a direct fit.
The generic China 18W when measured using a light meter only got about 70-80lx while the PHILIPS 12W under same condition got 110-120lx.
They then bring up another unit same sized but running at 9W (rated 950lm) and was measured at 65-75lx. Now JMB deciding to go for 9W or 12W model. Running 12H per day, every 1W saved is equivalent to RM 2.40/year. The unit offered is with 5-Yr warranty.

China 18W got about 70-80lx, are u talking about beam angle?

For this "Running 12H per day, every 1W saved is equivalent to RM 2.40/year", where can we get proof on this?

Also want to know.

Will energy saving means less heat also?

I believe downlight, whether branded or no brand, it's the same when it comes to installing.

Regarding brightness, I guess have to buy one each and test it out..

If today buy non branded light, and need to change 2 years later, it's very unlikely will get the same non branded light, so brightness might be different from the older (the previous non branded light).

Bought and installed osram ledvance for my house, 2years plus so far none "terbakar"

They demo using a digital light meter as brightness of a lamp is not measured by the eyes. The light meter will measure the brightness, the higher the number the brighter it is.

The savings RM 2.40/Year you can download the respective tariff table from TNB and calculate it.

I try to calculate but could not get RM2.40 per year.

Every 1W running on 12hrs daily will save Rm2.40, but I only can get RM0.94

1W x 12 hrs x 360 days = 4320W (4.32kWh)

For the first 200 kWh (1 – 200 kWh) per month, the rate is 21.80

Estimated bill: 4.32 * 21.8/100 = RM0.94

so it should be RM0.94, right?

any LED bulb or downlight with high CRI spec?

Mostly high CRI LED is in videographer light equipment.

Hardly able to find it in the normal bulb and downlight here.

Try amazon.

The highest CRI downlight I have is this model. Brought it from Home depot.

any LED bulb or downlight with high CRI spec?

I am using PHILIPS GEN9 MyCARE Bulbs with CRI90.

There also another downlight from PHILIPS that I use is CRI90 also but forgot the model. Not easy to find. For 6" I paid something like RM90. But light quality is really good.

This 1? price seems acceptable

3500k is very yellowish?

High CRI light very hard to find locally.... at most also 80+

Taobao got more choices when it comes to 90+ CRI
