Brightgreen has just informed us of having a massive sale to clear stock in their warehouse to make way for new product releases in the new year. As such their most popular product the D900 Classic in white trim, 3000K warm white with 55 degree beam lens has had a substantial price reduction until next Thursday reducing the RRP of $89 down to just $59 including GST and with free shipping for orders above $150 - this is a never to be repeated offer for the current model D900 LED downlight and with limited stocks (only around 800 units left) available NOW is the time to buy.

Specifications below:
The Brightgreen D900 Classic Curve 16W LED Downlight is the first halogen-equivalent LED downlight designed in Australia with the same light quality of a 50W halogen.

It has a brightness of 955 lumens, a colour temperature choice of 3000k or 4000K and options of 55 degree beam width, 45 degrees and the new 90×30 degree for hallways and narrow spaces. The D900 is also dimmer compatible, fits snugly into a 92mm hole cut out, the same as a gimbal halogen downlight, and has a comparable light quality with a colour rendering index (CRI) score of 95.

The D900 retains the eco benefits of Brightgreen LED technology, using just 30% of the power of a 50W halogen and lasting over 15 times longer, as well as being UV and fire-hazard free. The newest compliment is the downlights ability to be abutted and covered by insulation reducing any possibly compromise of R values.

With a sleek matte silver or low sheen white finish, the luminaire component and LED has a 70,000 hour life expectancy as well as a 7 year warranty.

The standard downlight frame has a 15 degree adjustable tilt angle ensuring that you can reach all those areas that are in need of light, particularly with standard raked ceilings.

Fitting/Base: Complete integrated luminaire with external driver.
Gimble Angle: 15 degrees
Hole Cutout: 92 mm
Wattage: 15.7W
Input Voltage: 240V AC (external LED dimmable driver with plug)
Beam Angle: 55
Light Colour: Warm White 3000K
Lumen Rating: 955 lm WW
Light Quality (CRI): 95+
LED Life Span: 70,000 Hours
Dimmable: Yes using most universal dimmers, best performance dimmers include Clipso Universal, Luxman T400P, Legrand EM400A3P, Trader Dimpala. (For CBus, Dynalite, Zwave, Control4, 0-10V and DALI systems please contact us directly for testing.)
Warranty: 7 Years Luminaire, 5 Years Driver

Installation
The Brightgreen D900 Curve comes complete with driver, flexible cable and standard 2 pin plug, meaning you can install it yourself with 413 GPO points. Hardwiring must be performed by a licensed electrician.

  Overpriced. True ozbargainers buys cheap LEDs.

    Care to show me a good led with decent output and high CRI that is cheap?

      I'm no expert, but I've been told that CRI is a flawed mechanism. So it's probably best to use it as a tertiary measure of quality. I always look for lumens per watt, beam angle and lifetime. This light is 16W for 955 lumens. So it's a bright light, but uses relatively a lot of power for an LED. It's beam angle is also a little shallow. But it's lifetime is top notch. It also needs to be installed by a qualified electrician as it's a full LED inc driver.

      Victorian's have the benefit of a free LED replacement scheme. Some Vic providers (like accreditedpower.com.au and energymakeovers.com.au) offer good halogen replacement LEDs that are not free - but are approx $30ea including installation from electricians. Of course, this is Vic only. I did a lot of research before replacing mine and went down this route.

        Thanks…. Problems:
        A) no longer available at that price, so not really a good comparison now.
        B) those were all 5000k lights. I did see those deals at the time and really find 5000K a little to cool for my liking. If I recall correctly a few people asked the rep if something a little warmer was available at that price and the answer was no.

  That's crazy expensive for an LED. You can get similar CRI with less power too.

  • 

    coxymla on 12/12/2015 - 17:42

    I think it's only expensive because it is a package of led + luminaire + dimmable driver + mains plug.
    Would be nice to have the option to buy just the LED.

  Stupid question: I have some similar style ones in the bedroom, one have gone out, but I've no idea how to remove them for replacement, they don't push-pop, nor screw, what do I do!

    There will most likely be 2-3 spring loaded levers that will hold the facia against the ceiling. You will need to pull at the edge carefully to see the springs then try to work it out.

      Easier to get them out from the roof if you have a bunch of them to do.

      • 

        masuta on 13/12/2015 - 16:30

        If you can get in the roof. It's ok for my upstairs lights… Not so much for the down stairs lights :P

  Does it need heat guard?

  • 

    [Deactivated] on 13/12/2015 - 01:02

    I'm no expert, but LED lights are much less hot than halogens.

    There will still be clearance required to insulation etc.

      Cut and paste from the OP:
      "…fire-hazard free. The newest compliment is the downlights ability to be abutted and covered by insulation reducing any possibly compromise of R values"

  TL;DR

  Just seems very expensive compared to other units on the market. Bought some Osram gimble and LED sets for about 1/3rd the price of these. I can't see what the difference is to justify the massive price premium?…

    Maybe show us a link of what you bought and then we can see what differences or similarities there are. Mainly it will come down to lumens, wattage, rated life, quality of light(CRI) and efficiency.

      coxymla on 14/12/2015 - 11:44

      Gonna have to agree with this, it seems unlikely that you could get a 16W LED for $20. (And if you can, then I want some.)

  Im not sure why people think because they have found a cheaper LED that these must be bad. Do your research on the Brightgreens.

  I personally bought the Brightgreens for my main areas that have the light on lots (Kitchen area, above dining etc). I bought them due to researching their quality but couldn't afford to do the whole house. I installed 'cheaper' versions in other areas.

  The cheap ones output wasn't as great and all but one died after 1.5years. The brightgreens are still going strong with great output and i had to replace the others. If these were the cool white (personal preference) i would have jumped on them instead of buying more 'cheap' ones.

    I did the same.

    Brightgreens are worth the extra especially for the kitchen. I actually like the warm white.
    There may be alternatives, but you can not go wrong with the quality of the Brightgreen D900.

    I put cheap ones from Masters in my TV room and they have now been replaced 3 times.

  Personally I just bought some of these to replace my MR16's:
  https://clearance.brightgreen.com/product/brightgreen-d700-n…

  At $24 I felt it was good value for a quality LED. The 70mm cutout suited me as I didn't have to make the holes any larger.

  My GU10's had already been replaced with the DR700 brightgreens from previous sales.
