Review of '18 Watt Fluorescent Energy Saving Fixed Downlight Kit' - 01 Dec
I have jumped the gun a bit as I do not require these lights for a few months. Being a electrician, I dismantled one and connected it up to see what type of light output it would achieve.That is why I have marked this unit highly as it exceeded expectations.

What is the difference between the cool white, warm white and daylight 18w fluorescent globes in terms of light output and does one use more electricity than the other or is it not worth worrying about.
Asked by Nigel from Redland Bay Queensland - 24 Aug

Hi

The Warm White is similar to an incandescent globe, Daylight is a white light and Cool White is in between, more of an ambient colour.
They all use the same amount of energy.

Thanks

Are these the same size as the lower wattage bulbs? I have been told elsewhere that 18w bulbs are larger and will protrude. Cheers
Asked by Greg from Brisbane - 28 Aug

Hi

These globes are the same size as 240V and 12V downlight halogen globes and will fit into any frame that uses those globes.

They are slightly longer, they are about 100mm long.

Thanks

Will these lights illuminate an area to the same level as a R80 globe unit?
Asked by Chris Hardaker from Bunbury WA - 27 Sep

Hi

No you will need about 2 - 3 of these 18W downlights to put out as much light as an R80.
