Is there any easy-to-maintain downlights?

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.

Zero risks in damaging the plaster ceiling. The replacement light, must we use back the same brand in order to fit the bracket?

QUOTE(shaniandras2787 @ Sep 22 2023, 05:24 PM) Not sure about this as I have only bought back the same product for replacement, figured it would be too much of a hassle and a waste of time to try and find from a 3rd party or OEM manufacturer that would fit the bracket - all for the purpose of saving a few ringgit My best guess would be yes as I noticed that there are grooves on the bracket and then 4 metal pins on the sides of the light housing which i supposed they are the right fit. I see. The reason I asked about 3rd party replacement isn't just about saving money. Proprietary replacement is usually more difficult to source and product lifespan (EOL) may be shorter.
