BeBeCc 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2012 Just some comments.Circular concave around the fan. I done this in my previous house and there is hardly any wind from the fan. LED light panel. It is rather expensive still. I think if you buy cheap LED strip and lay white perspex may have the same effect.I DIY my LED lightings in my current house. LED is energy saving but a lot from PL lights since they are already energy saving.LED is very directional and the spread is not as good. Hope this helps.

If you r keen, can go there have a cup of coffee and see it for yourselve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ne0matr1x 2 Report post Posted May 16, 2012 Hi all,Im currently doing major reno on my house and installing those slim LED panels whole house. I've went to an LED contractor and visited one of his site that was fitted with the LEDs. I must say, I'm impressed. These slim LED panels are different as the LEDs are at the edge and the center are diffuser (just like those super thin LED V. Thats why they can be thin. Light diffusion is also very wide, prob around 175 deg? Energy saving wise, u definately save more than PL as LED wattage is low plus they still using step down converter. Its like using those battery type lights! The contractor showed me before at his job site- he switched on all the lights in the house and asked me to look at the house meter. It is barely moving!Heat wise, it produced much less heat.As for the false ceiling, since the panel is so thin and the power supply also small, its possible to keep the ceiling to only about 3 inches instead of the normal 5-6 inches. This will give your living room more height also.Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
