    Haha, no really, how much are they?

    Cause I mean I can get 10w LED's from eBay for 5 bux each… A driver for about 6, and the fixture for another five or so…. I'm not seeing where the others 23 is going per light….. OIC you must include fitting anywhere in Australia… Well that's pretty good, specially if you live in Alice etc…

    Seriously though, how are these leds any better than 10 dollar LEDs from eBay?

      Better in your ability to claim insurance if anything was to go wrong ie fire. Much better based on numerous AU discussion on this exact model in multiple forums. Better in it being an AU company, offering a 3 year warranty. Better in that it has a tested and trusted lumens output rating, not chinese 'buy me im bigger and better' lumens.

      • ryang on 10/06/2014 - 19:01

        Ehh.. Last I checked if anything electrical is installed in the roof without it being done by a licensed electrician, your insurance won't cover it.

        Has that changed?

          I said quite clearly "installed in the roof without it being done by a licensed electrician" as I'm fairly sure there was a clause put in to prevent idiots from placing insulation over lights, etc…

      Brightgreen seems to be a reputable brand along with Philips, Cree etc

      The ebay no-name brands that are cheap may not have the same quality as these.

      It is a bit like buying a no name USB hub vs a logitech / targus hub with proper warranty etc for a bit more.

      These brightgreens seems to be a good deal if you compare the prices of the same globe the other sites.

      You can go use your $5-10 LED globes but you are much likely to run into problems with flicker, problems with dimmer, losing television reception etc not to mention the life of these globes are probably not as long.

      So if you are lucky you save money but if chances are you are going to end up spending more in the long run. (having said that, I would use these cheap ones for say the store room or lights that are hardly ever turned on, but for kitchen/lounge, get the decent ones for the peace of mind)

    • Store RepLightingMatters @ Lighting Matters on 11/06/2014 - 13:36

      Hi mate, we can also supply the 4000K version, however it would be around $10 extra per unit as they are not part of this deal.

  • bleugh on 10/06/2014 - 18:32

    1 up from me,
    You'd be amazed to see just how dangerous most of the $10 ebay and cheaper ones are.

    Simply put, you value your life, don't buy crap ones,
    These are very well priced for what you get

    And I do like a good bargain…

    the only time I'd go counter to those statements above is some Chinese low voltage ones that are NOT mains (12v and under)… and using a true AU or CE certified transformer ….
    Even then though failure rate is an issue, when you need to buy 50% more lights to both cover warranty yourself and ensure they're all colour matched, is it really a saving?

  • peter05 on 10/06/2014 - 18:39

    i down voted the last deal due to misleading pricing and that it wasn't actually a significant discount

    i am commending the rep for responding to the criticism, these lights are both offered at a fantastic discount price and the correct "cost" has been displayed prominently.

    you are hard pressed to find just the globes for less than ~$50 let alone with fixtures and it's already at a significant discount

    Good work

    I replaced most of my 50w MR16 halogens with these.
    Nichia 8w led $18.95 ea
    http://www.ledworkshop.com.au/nichia-mr16-8w-dimmable-led
    not quite as bright as the D700 or the 50w GE halogens but suitable even in the kitchen.

    • Ahyao17 on 11/06/2014 - 11:08

      Just bought Philips 7W MR 16s for 19.95 ea yesterday (they also offer bulk discounts)

      waiting for them to be delivered.

      how does Nichia compare to Philips?

      • Store RepLightingMatters @ Lighting Matters on 11/06/2014 - 13:39

        The product is not made by Nichia - only the LED chips used, Philips product is a truly compatible MR16 lamp, (not relating to the D700 which is an integrated unit with it's own transformer).

        The Nichia MR16 product mentioned above does not have the smarts (like Philips) to operate correctly with any halogen transformer and as such would not be a suitable replacement - see this video for info on why it won't work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9tj54i5hoc

  • [Deactivated] on 10/06/2014 - 22:38

    I recently installed roughly 55-58 LED downlights at my place (I forget the exact number) and the wholesale cost i paid through a sparky relation of mine was about $1200 for almost 60 kits

    $499 still a bit steep for 12. granted mine were 7W but still does the job i need

    also mine don't have transformers.

    don't forget transformers go after some years and not only costly to replace them but they will probably all start going at a similar time and you will be changing them every second weekend.

    no thanks! that's one of the reason i switched to LED in the first place.

    • deal88 on 10/06/2014 - 23:18

      Good luck with your theory. Interestingly I have both (transformer LED and non transformer LED) in my house and so far have replaced 7 LEDs lights all without transformers.

      I am not sure what transformers you are buying, but I only go with the top brands and I have not had any problem, though I know people who have bought cheap ones who have had issues.

      It is not always correct, but a lot of times it pays off to pay a little bit extra for top quality products.

    • Store RepLightingMatters @ Lighting Matters on 11/06/2014 - 16:50

      LEDs ALL have transformers whether internal to the lamp or external. If your electrician has misLED you to believe they do not have transformers, then you may not even have LEDs.

      • Alzey on 12/06/2014 - 21:01

        Nonsense, perfectly reasonable not to have a transformer. All you need is the LED string voltage to add up to just under rectified mains (~305v). Not to hard with a few 30-50V LEDs.

          Yes it's possible, but most major lighting manufacturers generally use a LED driver (transformer) for control, safety and dimming at present. Stringing up a few HV LEDs could be beneficial for smaller lamp application but there are other aspects to it. I'm tipping that the person saying he got some with transformers and some without is saying he's got some LV lamps and some 240V E27/GU10 lamps which more than likely have an internal driver.

          In reference to changing the transformers because they go after some years - a LED on a heat sink will generally not have any issues throughout it's life time and it would only be the transformer or driver that fails, not like a filament bulb that burns out at it's end of life.

        • peter05 on 13/06/2014 - 08:38

          i'm not aware of any LED lights that run on AC voltage, do you have some special LED, or are your lights flickering and you just can't see/notice it

        • ryang on 13/06/2014 - 09:26

          AC LEDs have the converter built into the LED/housing. No LED can operate with AC for obvious reasons.

      • deal88 on 18/06/2014 - 16:46

        Good point. I just figure the average home owner is talking about the external transformers, which we know can vary in quality and compatibility with LEDs. (If you don't know what you are looking at, if you cant see it, it must not be there, so they say "no transformer" when they actually mean no external transformer)

  • deal88 on 10/06/2014 - 23:08

    I did own a lighting company for many years and have been to the Brightgreen head office and design studio. I can assure you these are up there with the best LED lights on the market. I installed these (White not chrome) in my kitchen and my main bathroom. If you want good quality light. I would recommend Brightgreen.

    However, in my other rooms I use cheap globes from Bunnings, Masters and eBay. Not as good, but do ok for rumpus and tv rooms.

    FYI, just google Brightgreen and you should find a lot of good reviews.

    Also worth mentioning….
    Most LED lights on the market would be equivelent to 35W halogen. (and I would not trust what the Chinese eBay sellers say)
    The Brightgreens can comfortably say they are equivalent to 50W halogens. So perfect in rooms where lot of light is important.

  • calcium on 11/06/2014 - 09:47

    Would one need a sparky to install this?
    If so, would you guys be able to recommend one?

    It's a two storey house so not sure whether one would need to cut into the ceiling board.

    • Store RepLightingMatters @ Lighting Matters on 11/06/2014 - 13:42

      These lamps come supplied with plug bases, so if you have 413 surface sockets in the ceiling then you can install them yourself. However most residential property these days are hardwired to transformers though unfortunately. So, in short yes you will most likely need an electrician and we could certainly recommend someone.
