Ok will do! thank you!

Been looking around but all very expensive.. Anyone got a good authentic one to recommend? best if have couple room too Budget $50-70 per pax if possible!

yep thats what is gonna happen..someone gotta hack it..

Yep , Agreed , LED up front is abit more expensive compared to other Traditional Lightings. However , to be fair , LED lighting will save you quite abit on your electricity bill, i have come across cases where a family from a usual bill of $400+ dropped to about 250~300 in a month after installing LED lights. While that is just a rough estimate, considering other household products like aircon( the most imo) , fridge etc use power as well and usage could be different for that month. It is accurate to say that proberly $60-80 off the bill per month at least . They installed a total of 10 led lights thats about $6 off per light per month. they bought at $60 including installation. they will break even in 10 months! Short term saving but long term gains. thats the true worth of LED actually for people like me

Im using the elmark fanaway the 48" retractable.. so far so good took the brushed chrome colour!

Hi! Good morning Yea, i guess you could say that ( im in the lighting industry , though still some what of a newbie, but done a number of projects) I have a good idea of what you are looking at i think Its more of LED spot lights (with a self pivoting fitting) Those are pretty bright if you are using Daylight colour actually, but the thing about this kind of light(more like a track light) is 1) You need to keep adjusting the lights 2) The Area that LED covers is actually smaller( For example, for downlights , From ceiling to floor is only about 120 degrees coverage, minus 30 degrees in a circle, that will give you a rough idea of how much coverage you have per Downlight) Of course it is dependent on wattage and type of bulb! 3) Unless you put about say 6 or so of those lights, you would not have sufficent lighting in my opinion, depending on type of unit and size of kitchen, some areas might be dimmer/darker. 4) Yes Downlights can be put in the kitchen , i actually recommend people to put downlights cause of the easier maintance( a cloth,water, and a wipe down every now and then will do) and power saving capability 5) for downlight its all about positioning! And in response to your interpretation , LED is actually slightly Dimmer/Duller , but for the wattage, Yes LED provides much more light and longetivity as compared to a normal downlight of the same wattage( dont think you will find many normal bulbs at 3 watts though haha) Hope this helps!

One very important thing people should take note on From experience, its better to pay a little more (or better yet get the shop you buy lights from to throw in for free ) then getting a third party to install/your own contractor to install. It may turn into problems further down the road, if the light is still under warrenty, and the light spoils, there is a good chance that the light shop will blame the installer and vise versa. And 90% of the time , it turns into the home owner paying for a brand new light as the hassle of going back and forth is really not worth it. Just my 2 cents! will update tips every now and then!

Generally if you are going to go with downlights for your master bedroom and living room what you are looking for are downlights Next your decision is the size of it , 4" and 6" are the most common on the market proberly and for wattage it will be 9w~12w as the most common. The number of lights you need generally depends on the size of the room,type of light, and size/wattage of the LED downlight for the Living room 4m*2.5m ( depending on your Interior deco and placement of lights) 6-8 will be sufficent For the Master bedroom for a normal 3-4-5 room HDB flat 4-8 will be more then sufficentc. It should also be noted that sometimes LED downlights tend to be too " Rough/Strong" Some cove lighting can be considered for the hallway soften the ambience of the room And typical rate of LED downlights proberly range from $55-$105(any more and unless its REALLY a ***** i'll say its Wayyy too expensive) Hope this helps! cheers!

Hello everyone I'm new to the forum but have been a silent reader for a couple of months already Would like to Start a thread regarding Lightings and electrical wirings where everyone can post their questions before purchasing and check for market value in their purchases! Im providing free consultation of lightings enquiries and will do my best to answer any lighting questions, it 1) allows people to have a check on market rates and 2) allows me to continue my learning as well!
