Re: LED downlights 43Mar 06, 2011 9:00 pm Hi we recently installed the bright green ones and are very happy with them. We looked into the superlight ones but decided not to go with them as the globe parts are 3 x 4 watt globes. Brightgreen are 1 x 16 watt globes. Apparently the single globe gives a nicer light. We also looked at thinkwise.com.au I liked their product but at the time they only had a 10watt but now have a 12 watt. The advantage we saw with the bright green one is that the light is softer to look at compared to other downlights. They also look a bit different which we liked. Hope that helps Donna Re: LED downlights 44Mar 06, 2011 9:46 pm Thanks for that Donna. Can I ask how what parts you bought with a single piece - a driver, the light itself and a hat for safety ? Are you able to tell me what price you paid for a single unit comprising all these ? Thanks JT Re: LED downlights 45Mar 07, 2011 10:15 am Hi. We Got the driver and the light. There was a stuff up and were initially told the wrong price for the lights so the cost us $140 instead of the $115 quoted. I saw the docket for them so I know my builder didnt just bump up the price. Another member on here got them for$115 though. She is in sydney. Not sure how she managed it. Still looking into hats. They aren't the fire risk lime halogens but I don't really want to cut holes in the insulation either. Donna Re: LED downlights 46Mar 07, 2011 10:55 am jayz Try these guys http://www.ledlightingenergysolutions.com.au Steve Reil 0418 434 001 Ive just done basically my whole house with LED downlights and couldn't be happier. Yes, they are more expensive initially but the overall savings should make them worthwhile. Also they are such a good look...very modern. Steve is a great guy and will provide you with all the info you need You would have to be in the house for a very long time to see any savings. Re: LED downlights 47Mar 07, 2011 12:13 pm Maybe cost savings but you would see energy savings right away. Isn't that the reason we are trying to be greener? Re: LED downlights 48Apr 04, 2011 4:53 pm What about these http://www.led-lighting.com.au/10w-led-downlight.html has anyone used these? Re: LED downlights 50Apr 27, 2011 10:08 pm drewhawk anyone? See my post elsewhere regarding "240v" LEDs, and I notice, but mean nothing by it, that this particular unit actually has 10 * 1W LEDs in it. Whether that is good // bad // makes no difference // I don't know !! P_D .

I like them. 800 lumens (same as a halogen) and no "eyes" staring at you. If they came in GU10 fitting I'd buy a few to try out. Demolition August 2009, Construction Started September 2009, Completed December 2010 Re: LED downlights 52Apr 30, 2011 5:13 pm The LED output might possibly be 80lm/w but that is not fixture lumen's. For eg. we are testing a new 88lm/w 7w chip theoretically 616 lumen's but I will be happy with over 500 out of the fixture not to mention this is a single chip not lots of smaller ones. I really think there needs to be an LED FAQ sheet written up a lot of the same questions are being asked. Re: LED downlights 53Apr 30, 2011 11:20 pm think_wise ......I really think there needs to be an LED FAQ sheet written up a lot of the same questions are being asked. And a comparison chart !!! I'd volunteer to do that if there's any interest from people who think it might be a good idea ..... P_D .

Re: LED downlights 55May 02, 2011 10:16 am @ebay products Those lumen figures are incredibly overstated so make sure you are comparing apples with apples. I am slowly working through a comparison light output so far I have tested: Pierlite starburst 60 degree -12w (measured around 15W so I am thinking driver wasn't included) Osram coinlux 60 degree- 16w Bright green D900 45 degree - 16w (haven't added to this file as yet waiting for a 55 degree model) Philips Halogen 60 degree - 50w (they are not as bright as people think) Thinkwise Genesis 40 degree - 16w Measurements are all taken with a tektronix lux meter and are indication only. http://www.thinkwise.com.au/files/comparison.pdf Re: LED downlights 56May 02, 2011 9:34 pm I did suspect that the ebay products may be too good to be true. At this stage I'm unsure if I can afford any LED lighting, so I'll examine the overall costs of the build and see if there is any money left, I don't think there will be Re: LED downlights 57May 02, 2011 10:34 pm Even just replacing your top 10 most used halogens can make a chunky difference. In the scheme of a house build or Reno this will mostly likely cost less than 1% of the build. Re: LED downlights 58Jun 11, 2011 7:07 am For anyone considering the pierlite starbursts, we ended up going with these, they come with a 3 year warranty. I've taken some photos. The light output is impressive. This is a 3m ceiling. http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i80/danielt25/New%20House/IMG_0304.jpg http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i80/danielt25/New%20House/IMG_0305.jpg Our "Better Homes Queensland" Cairns Build viewtopic.php?f=31&t=40451 Current stage - 1st builder's clean done. Keys soon. Re: LED downlights 60Jul 02, 2011 11:44 pm Think wise, Do your Genesis 16 Watt lamps use the CREE XM-L T6 LED? I note that these run at a claimed 100 lumen per watt which is exceptional efficiency if true. They also give out 975 lumens from the single LED. I would appreciate your comments on these. Do any downlights use these? For anyone interested, here is some info on this LED: http://www.led-tech.de/en/High-Power-LEDs-Cree/CREE-XM-Serie/CREE-XM-L-T6-Emitter-LT-1731_120_170.html |
