can i send u ceiling layout plan and design to ur inbox now?

Can someone advice me whether the light is good enough or too many/few? thx

My suggestion for you is, the minimum requirement of the downlights that needed for a room is at least 4 (at the corner).
So it can create balance brightness for you. P/s never install your light near to your fan, it might create shadow when the fan is turn on and it will really make you faith.

May i know normally plaster ceiling contractor give how thick the board?

ok, thx for advice

whats T5 light? y need 20 of this T5 for something like this?


p/s:too many light to put, too many wiring to make, total cost for light(+ wiring) equal or more than plaster ceiling itself

T5 is the size of the tube. For your case they used to hide it between the gap of the plasters to create the aesthetic effect. There is T4,T5 and T8. The normal 4ft fluorescent lamp that have been commonly used is T8. T5 fluorescent is not long lasting and have alot of problems, unless you choose the LED type of T5 which is brighter, durable, save up to 80% energy but a little bit expensive. (I recommend you to get the LED T5 set)

Normally they will gv u plaster ceiling board thick 9mm.

I agree with you. It's silly to put up plaster ceiling just because you want to install some down lights but sometimes we need plaster ceiling to cover up ugly beams.

I'm going to see how I can do without plaster ceiling. As for down lights, I will never install them again. Just too many problems.

But has anyone use plaster boards to make a false wall?

May i know LED T5 how much in market? Normally i saw lighting shop selling LED or normal T5?

thx for the info

u know how much 1 T5 led cost roughly? for plaster ceiling island(6x6ft) tht i want to do, i been quote to use 20x T5, meaning 5x T5 each side. kanot use normal T8? the light not cantik if use T8?

I was told by a lighting vendor that if there is a chance of rain splashes, then it is better to avoid LED lights as humidity reduces the lifespan of LED lights. My T5 outdoors are CFL.

so you advise using CFL better than T5?

I think outdoor wise T5 using CFL is better.

Thanks your advise. Back house i also think using CFL better. Between do you know market sell T5 how much?

After done the plaster ceiling, my dry kitchen ceiling height left only 103 inches, do u guys think it is too low? No fans at ceiling, only downlight.
