Is there any easy-to-maintain downlights?

Like those LED Recessed ES27 Fitting Downlight suits All E27 LED Bulb but seems like very difficult to find nowadays.

All pakai those downlights need to korek when need to change the bulb. When you korek, some plaster fall down.

Isn't E27 bulb available almost everywhere? The only issue with such downlight, IMO, is due to the poor light throw (dark).

Those recessed downlight, on the other hand, are brighter but chap ayam type don't last long. To replace them without damaging plaster ceiling takes some practice but very possible.

I normally pull out a bit, look for one of the clips and push the housing towards the other clip.This gives me space to insert a finger into the other clip to force it up and release one side. Once a side is released, you can slide it out without damaging the plaster ceiling.

This? I think many shop still selling. Just get the housing with E27 socket.

this type has many dark spots if spaced more than 2m... not recommended although maintenance is easier.

Just get good ones (Philips/Osram) and hook up with Wago 221-412/ 221-413.

wago connector.. 識貨wor 大家姐

There are many size available and you can increase the number and a better reflector and a better placement. Way easier to change, you don't even need to climb a stair.

My house all install this. Still available, it's very easy to change the bulbs la, get osram or Philips brand bulbs, will last quite long. Use 6" one not 4", bigger reflector will spread the lights wider area. Those saying 2m got gap are talking nonsense.

now the in thing is magnetic tracks. where got people still use downlights? magnetic tracks no need for plaster ceiling

I go for the E27 sockets. The rest will likely damage the plaster ceiling when you need to replace.

Another option is the rails/track lights. Install then only change the individual track light when rosak.

Track lights are more for wall washing isnt it?

old house, u want me to take down everything just to install the current in thing meh

depends on your house, if new/empty house easier to fit in. just look for an empty wall to direct the lights, or worst case point to ceiling lor

for older house, full of furniture and sampah type like mine just use E27 la

got many different fixtures, even pendants

Open your eyes.

E27 LED Bulb is everywhere.

I'm using GU10 for the main lightings and track spotlights, just to enhance the attention. My experience with the round LED lights, no very pleasant even using phillips type. Flicker, dimming.. some of the problems after 1 year ++. But I cannot deny, E27 still the best and most easy to handle for layman (like me!)

not that hard lah

you don't know the rule of thumb?

U need to divide ceiling height by half to get the spacing of downlight. say 3m headroom needs 1.5m downlight spacing maximum.

Oh! Thank you for sharing, I leaned something today.

wow, very nice, first time I heard about this magnetic tracks, seems cheap too selling in shopee.

btw, I already got plaster ceiling (developer already kasi), so still can install this?

I wonder is maintenance is a lot easy?
