nowadays with increasing competition from China those philips, osram almost no difference compared to good quality china oem.
at the end of the day the factory and manufacturing equipment all the same also... BTW, Osram Ledvance is owned by China company already. Not owned by Osram but they have license to use the brand name |

QUOTE(goolie @ Sep 12 2023, 01:40 PM) I decide to go for branded LED downlight. But, i heard one contractor said that philips LED will be more difficult to install. Is it true? He advised me to go for Megaman or OSRAM. Both also from Germany. I believe all of them are same quality standard, right? or do you have any thoughts on this? All same la install method. Your contractor bullshit you nia. In general we go for branded just to make sure they are safe (got safety tested etc). Otherwise, you wont go wrong with any of the branded ones. Just dont go for those RM2 taobao no brand untested uncertified ones ok dy. For Megaman 5 inch 12W, I can get better deal at RM16.90/unit with 2 years warranty. Have not negotiated yet. I was thinking to get lower rate with bulk purchase 20-30pcs. For Philips with same size & power output the best deal I can find is around RM17-18/unit with 1 year warranty only. Another deal is RM22/unit with 2 years warranty. Should I go for Megaman? Anyone using this brand b4? Question: Which one is better? and why? 1. Megaman beam angle: 120° 2. Philips beam angle: 110°  My take is choose the colour you like, then decide on the lumens you want. Then go for the cheapest branded one that fits the spec (ledvance, philips, panasonic etc). |
