Life Span	Approx 50,000 Hours	Approx 15,000 Hours
Colour Change	Yes	Not usually
Dimmable	Yes	Not usually
Energy Efficiency	High	Low

In my humble opinion, go for LED Lightings! Although it’s a higher start up cost but it will turn into savings in years to come My lighting choices! Lucky me! There was a promotion when I signed my renovation contract with Impress 21. So what is the promotion I’m talking about? It’s $500.00 voucher for lightings at Lights Arcade & Trading!!! Yes, you did read correctly! No minimum purchase required, no hidden cost whatsoever.

So off we go, selected all of our major lightings at this place! From my point of view, they provide great service, advises and most importantly reasonably priced. 2 Years Warranty given for our purchases! (1st Year on-site service!) Free delivery! We have chosen this for our ceiling lights (Different sizes). A mixture of scandinavian & minimalist feel. Small 22W LED Panel Light: S$85.00 Medium 32W LED Panel Light: S$108.00 Large 40W LED Panel Light: $128.00 In addition to the ceiling lights, our design requires 4 Dim Down lights & 5 Cove lights.

We have manage to get all of it from Lightings.com.sg! Service wasn’t that great as they have failed to inform us that we could only use 1 dimmer switch for our down lights! 1 Year Warranty given for our purchases! (3 Month on-site service) Delivery Fee: S$18.00 Down lights: Philips DIM RD LED 6500k (Model: 61034) –  S$95.00 Each Dimmer switch: Philips LED Dimmer 240V 50HZ Matte White – S$80.00 Cove lights: Philips LED12/NW L1200 Cool WH 14 Watt (BN066C) – S$34.00 each Twin Cable: S$5.00 Each You might wonder what is the twin cable for? In short, it is a connection required for your cove light to connect with the power supply cable. Unless your ID/Contractor is providing, it is a must to have!

Last but not least, we purchase our dinning lights from Taobao! I consider this as a good buy as it’s only S$91.77 including shipping via 65daigou!
