downlights

L box light is downlight not spotlights... so not warm one. Energy saving got warm white, cool white and daylight... 3 different tone.

If you are buying a lot of down lights, consider going to those electrical hardware store (but limited design). Only a few of these shops are around. But the cost is about 50% cheaper or more as compared to any lighting shops. Plus you get the ultra bright Philips bulb instead of those cheapo bulbs. Try to get those that uses Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (screw on type, no need additional ballast, save electricity) instead of the usual Fluorescent Light Bulbs (four pin socket, needs ballast, which generate a lot of heat)

ya no matter what your house theme is, tell your contractor/id that you want lots of ENERGYSAVING bulbs.
Buy only philips or osram - the rest are crap.
If you have lots of downlight in a row, 5w bulb is suffice.
And you wont regret when you receive your PUB bills.

Common replacement bulb : 13w bulbs with E27 connectors

For my driveway (as well as my kitchen), I have one switch which allows me to control two different set of lights. Turn on once and Set #1 lights come on. Turn off then then on again, Set #2 lights come on. Turn off then then on again, both Set #1 and Set #2 lights come on. This is made possible by putting a relay on the lights.
