Hi all, need help on to ask on PLC downlights...

I visited a few shops at Balestier... Decided on a particular PLC downlight (2x13w bulb) (model 8140) & went a few store to compare price... The most exp which 1 shop quoted was $38 while the cheapest we find (at lightings.com) was $19!!!

Its double the price!!!

Any downlight expert here to share some advice?

Does the material, ballast & lighting tube plays a part for the price difference?

Thks!

Wow. $38 is near to a LED downlight...

Actually, all the PLC downlight (G24 base) that I have seen uses magnetic ballast.

Mainly the cost difference will be on the quality and material.

Unless you change to a E27 lamp base, it is likely that you are using the old type of fluorescent technology.

There is a new type of fluorescent tube with G24 base on the market that uses much less energy than a PLC lamp. It works like normal E27 energy saving bulb which are all instant on. The current is 4 times lower, which means that less heat will be generated. The lamps is integrated with electronics control, and is able to work with the old magnetic ballast into the PLC lamp. The tube cost less than S$10 each, and I think it will be a good alternative to LED lighting.

If the $19 lamp and $38 looks the same, I will go for the $19 one.

even if we take "normal" downlights to compare with LED, the ROI simply does not justify it.

there's no rocket science/ engineering to it. just do ur maths and u will realise it.
