Led Lighting

[bluesclues]

just upgraded to led lighting and the bulbs said dimmable so i was hoping it will come with it's own dimmer switch. which turned out not to be the case. what is the best price for dimmer switches on average in trinidad? if anyone knows offhand. studying to just order them online if what selling down here is crap or overpriced.

Next time you going led and dont want trouble, call target solutions

If its a solid color i have a switch here... If its multi color with remote and box then i cant help you....

[bluesclues]

the bulbs are all perfect. i just want dimmer switches. not that they too bright but just i dont need them to be maximum bright all thru the house at all times. is a power consumption reduction thing lol.

got regular 7watt replacements for 60watt for indoor and outdoor. there is like no difference or downside to choosing the right led bulbs.

Where you get the LED bulb from?

You can get a dimmer switch at most electrical supply stores

Try CE Tang Yuk, Modern Electrical,

http://cetangyuk.com/

http://www.modernelectricaltt.com/

or just try the nearest Electrical place to where you are.

Hardwares like Bhagwansinghs etc also have dimmer switches.

Not sure why you thought a bulb would come with a switch though

[bluesclues]

Since this is a "LED Lighting Ched"...

Can anyone tell me where is the best place to buy LED Bulbs (screw type)?
And how about those in Pricesmart? Anyone bought those before and could give an opinion?

Thanks!

You didnt answer my question... If the bulbs are multi colored or 1 solid color....

[bluesclues]

a couple are multicoloured but dont hutt ur head. ordering sliders online. led lighting look like it barely reach trinidad. the options real lame. these the types i got. the phillips is for outdoor. highly recommend them if anyone want to make the switch to led.

regular filament bulb in the middle for size comparison.

[bluesclues]

there is literally no difference except that the 60watt replacements are mildly brighter than 60watt filament bulbs. im expecting something like more than 60% drop in electric bill downgrading from 60/100watts to all 7watt bulbs. make sure to pay attention to the lighting type when buying.. natural, daylight, warm/soft white etc to get ur preferred lighting type.

edit: how much was for them in lowes? trinidad?

dont know, made my order thru amazon. worked out around $70-80ttd per bulb depending on the specs/brand but not having to change bulbs for 10 years and reduction in electricity bill... priceless lol

[Swisha]

bought some of these on Amazon

almost got those as well. let me know how u find they lighting. they look pretty cool.

[M_2NR]

any reason you chose the slim vs this one below?

[Silvafoxx]

I got some CREE from amazon. 100w Replacement (Daylight).. Perfect replacement. Bad - the base won't fit in the external outdoor socket (Metal Weather type). I Will try the philips next, its cheaper.

@M_2NR, bought them for some ceiling dome lights so jus went with the slim type to avoid any problems with the dome cover going back on...

Thanks!

I bought the ones from price smart and the first one installed stop working in like two days. I guess it was defective.
Light is nice and dim but too white, I'm not fond of it.

Phillips have some nice ones now with changeable colours you can control from an ipad
so you can set up different themes
