Voodooman Supersonic October 28, 2018 Share October 28, 2018 I'm using Megaman MR16 for a year now. So far so good. Previously on Song Cho GoPro bulbs with 3 yrs warranty and exchanged for new bulbs about 3 times. Now warranty reduced to a year if not wrong. It has been 3 years since I changed all my lightings to LED lightings and they are failing one by one. Any good place to buy 1-2 dozen replacement bulbs? I tried Lazada, pricing same as those hardware shops near my place, $9.90 for 1 bulb. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the exact price, but I think for LED (60W bulb equivalent), you can get much cheaper price, below $10. I just bought one from Wisteria Mall (Yishun) from a basement hw shop. Don't buy too many at one time, LED bulb price trends downwards. And stick with the big names only, Philips would be my number 1 preference, then Osram and others. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic October 28, 2018 Share October 28, 2018 $2.90 per bulb also have. https://www.ikea.com/sg/en/search/?query=LED+light+bulb https://www.ikea.com/sg/en/catalog/products/90377654/ Cheaper than social enterprise hawker foods.

Any good place to buy 1-2 dozen replacement bulbs? I tried Lazada, pricing same as those hardware shops near my place, $9.90 for 1 bulb. What kind of bulbs ? Alamak I just changed all my house lights to LED - mostly all flush in type in false ceiling type from shop in Veerasamy Road .... all mostly no brand one ...... die lah I My advice ? Go back to the shop and buy 5-10 as spares. The biggest bitch is when it konks out, you can't find the same model anymore. Unless yours is the super simple (no pattern) round of square ones, probably can find other similar ones. But then maybe different lumens Edited October 28, 2018 by Othello 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, it was a concerted effort by the big boys to kill off those chup-piao brands Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor68 Turbocharged October 29, 2018 Share October 29, 2018 Of course where possible, everyone should try to 'save' the earth we borrowed from our future generations. But to focus on the wrong thing, it is rather sad. We cool Orchard road and many buildings cool the entire streets, not to mention those mrt tunnels and forzen buses, these little light bulbs are really a 'droplet in the ocean'.haha 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halogen bulbs come in all shapes and sizes, I have seen so many variations before. Owners all squeeze balls. Its already dying a slow death by itself as pointed out.

Ceecookie 5th Gear December 17, 2018 Share December 17, 2018 I have clarified with NEA and LTA AND they said that this move will not apply to halogen bulb for motor vehicles. They will continue to be sold and fitted as normal ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
