watchthewaves 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2011 Need to be clear about the beam angle of the particular LED light you are buying. The MR16 ones that can be direct replacement for halogen spotlights generally have narrower beams. Because they are designed to replace the halogen spotlights anyway. The ones that are designed as downlights would generally have wider beam angles, though possibly not as wide as PLC downlights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

siongboon 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 LED downlight has many different type; not necessary a spotlight type.There are many available model with disperse light and iseven bright than normal PLC downlight.Try to choose a lower power LED downlight as it generate less heat compareto a high power LED downlight. You can differential by their appearance.High power LED lights tends to have metal casing or heatsink built-in.I have seen those LED downlight for homes, range from $30 to $60++ dollars.They are not really so expensive. China uses a lot of LED.I think they are leading the trend to bring down the LED cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northerner 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2011 Just to share here since everyone is talking about LED down light, i bought mine few months back from a direct manufacturer company at $48/set and it's working fine. I am quite happy with the result and their service is good too, the sales person explained very detail to me when i ask him many questions before i decided to give it a try. You can find their advertising at a forum http://forum.punggol.org/index.php/topic,15506.30.html i think their promotion of $48 has ended, but recently they will be launching a new promotion soon. I got the news from facebook, here are some photos of my house to share Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
