  1. Hope u are happy with the lighting effects. Is my pleasure to service you. Is my job to deliver the LEDs and explain to contractor on the connection aspect. Happy Lunar New Year. Cheers.
  2. Dear bro, Base from specification this LED ribbon is common found in the market. Led ribbon is running on constant voltage and not constant current. Yr LED ribbon is eproxy? Imagine, per metre is 1.2A and voltage is 12vdc. Back to techincal: Power = Voltage x Current therefore Power = 12vdc x 1.2A = 14.4W Yr LED height(surface) is 1cm, is not recommend. For better one is 1.2cm. Yr current is very high per metre. for 5 metre is 6A. Yr LED ribbon will get hot faster and surface unable to dissipate heat fast. In the long run, LED will spoil easily. Per metre = 14.4 W 5 M = 14.4W x 5m = 72W 10M = 144W To buy power supply, please give some allowance of 20% on top of 144W. Should buy 200W – 12vdc power supply. How to do connection? Method 1: 5M---- PS(power supply) ----5M (Dun need to do loop back) Mehod 2: PS(power supply) ----5M ----5M (After which do a loop back to power supply) If u use 24vdc is different story. Power = Voltage x Current 14.4W = 24Vdc X Current Current = 0.6A Current is less by half and LED won’t heat up so fast. IMHO: Since you have bought it, just use it.
  3. try crester ceiling fan and franco. it come with 48", 50", 54" & 56". it has lighting on it too. my house using franco, so far so good. buy Acrylic better. normally motor warranty is life time. hope it helps.
  4. What's the difference between LED and halogen? LED has constrain on beam angle whereby halogen do not have this issue. but in term of power saving LED is better. whether china made or branded ade. assembled still in china. must see the actual product and get a feel and lighting effect. LED won't spoil in a year, normally is driver that give way first. If still doubtful, feel free to pm me. no issue. I'm in LED industrial, i not hard selling. Want to share the knowledge and when you guys wanto purchase LED won't get con. just email at terryteo@prime-light.com
  5. 60 led /m for 5050 is very bright. but is using constant voltage of 12v or 24vdc? the waterproof type is eproxy? sleeve or tube type?
  6. Yes you can and you can avoid the shadow produce by T5 spacing too. Environment friendly, UV free and most important thing power saving too. You either take 12vdc with size of LED 5mm by 5mm or take 24vdc with size of led 3.5mm by 2.8mm. My opinion. cheers.
  7. 5M LED strip light warm white c/w power supply/ transformer & 3M double side tape but not water proof type $60 - pricing is good. but driving at 12vdc or 24vdc? Led used is 3528 or 5050? is the size of led. 5M LED strip RGB c/w power supply, remote controller & 3M double side tape but not waterproof type $90
  8. either 12vdc or 24vdc. definitely it will need a transformer to operate.
  9. If i were you i will took 2 in 1 too. bcos is cost saving too. Yr hb say that bcos guys everything must be quick and girls consider alot of factors. therefore god create male and female mah. haha. Since you bought it, dun bother what pple comment. eventually you are the one staying inside the house. Cheers.
  10. Is the best to connect LED strip in 5m interval to reduce dim effects. LED strip can come with 12vdc & 24vdc. Power (W) = Voltage (V) x Current (I) e.g per rim LED strip is 5m with 12vdc and 24W 24 = 12 x I 2A = I per metre is 0.4A Power supply is calculate base on Wattage. e.g you need 24W therefore pls buy power supply with additional of 10 to 20% buffer to prolong the life span. And LED strip with higher wattage will give brighter brightness, consumption more power and get hot easily. my 2 cents, correct me if i'm wrong. cheers.
  11. Led driver with MR16 will be better choice. Logic thinking: if you buy something 2 in 1 is better or standalone? If i will buying i will buy seperate due to anyone spoil i just change either driver or LED lo. If GU10, you will not know which one spoiled. Since you bought it, don't regret. If you go Ikea, Track light comes with 5 bulb type. And make a good choice by keeping your cove lighting. Track lighting & cove lighting give ambience and most important if your child need to study, please buy a table lamp for him/her. Thank you.
  12. You can try google/yahoo to search for T5 lighting. Refer to below link for reference http://www.homesandgardenjournal.com/home-appliances/t5-lighting-made-easy-to-understand/
  13. Please remember philips LED 7W or 10W MR16 (GU5.3) come with mini fan. Once mini fan fail then led will fail too. what is the warranty period? LED has narrow angle as per comparison with halogen bulb. depend of what angle you are taking too. Cheers.
  14. Dear bro, Up to individual, no good or bad. The rating is color varies. 2700k will be more yellow base on specification. Is good to see the actual product in person. Thank you.
  15. Dear sharriejam, CRI = color rendering index (CRI) is how accurate to actual color. Is what bro watchthewaves have mention. CRI above 80 will consider good. But please rememeber 6000k(daylight) and 4000k(neutral white) has lower CRI. Indeed Cree has the highest CRI but it is standalone LEDs testing and is not tested with circuit. So result will varies too.
  16. Dear sharriejam, Please be careful upon selection of LEDs. Please make wise choice. I do not want to make any comments. But please check the right color temperature and comfortable level before purchase. If you find the price and color is not you want, please reject it because is your own house. If you want to see any led, feel free to pm me. Thank you. Regards, Terry
  17. Cree is from US. Nichia is from Japan. Orsam is from Germany. There are alot of brand out there. Nichia was the leading in LED technology and pricing is higher compare to cree. Led can used branded, no issue. But Led itself won't work, it will need circuit board to drive. Design of circuit board and calculation of heat sink is very important. Example: If you use 3W LED(Claim from Specification sheet) but in the end the brightness is not there. Due to compound factor too. Doesn't mean use the best, you will get the best. See it, feel it and ensure the pricing is ok. Thank you.
  18. LED strip should use 12Vdc or 24Vdc. I will provide knowledge on LED for all enquires. Regards, Prime Light Pte Ltd Terry
  19. Normally LED strip can purchase from outside/commercial store. But please ensure the color you purchase is correct. Sometimes even warm white has different color too. 12Vdc LED strip is easily obtain but 24vdc will be better in LED light distribution and brightness. Cupboard can be done and easily done up. Connection will be given too for your electrician. I working at LED industrial, therefore LED got different grade too. Our pricing include tailor made length to requirement. Feel free to pm me. Regards, Terry
  20. We must understand what is the reason of selling at the price given? Maybe the LED allow you to dim? Or you got space constrian, like example new generation of HDB the ceiling is very low and could not afford 4 to 6 inch of ceiling. Some LED downlight is just 1 and half inch in terms of height. Sharing info, not pin point. Have a great day. cheers.
  21. As for me, I work in LED industrial not LED lighting shop. Even you buy 1 piece from me i will provide door services. Eventually after sales services is very important. No obligation for enquiry. I will to explain our product for your knowledge too. Most important things is buy what we need and where to use. Thank you.
