hihihi 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 You have to shop around to get a feeling of the price. To give u one more headache some shops will advice u to get the downlights without ballast. That will means can only install 1 bulb instead of 2 (i.e if 2 bulbs will need ballast). Coz if ballast spoils, u need to tear the downlight out from the ceiling to change, which will spoil your lightbox. If no ballast, simple, just change bulb.

ossify 1 Report post Posted October 6, 2009 Bought my T5 4ft, warm lights from www.lightings.com.sg at $18 yesterday, quite satisfied with my purchase. $18 for the T5 light alone or including the luminaire? A shop in geylang was selling T5 2ft at $5, light alone. T8 2ft costs $2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
