ayazumi 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2012 @Ayazumi. It's not the bulb but the backend frame issue. I've tried changing the bulb out and fixed to another download and it can light up. I'm not skilled to remove the entire downlight itself.Aaaaa... if it is downlight, I don't know how it works. But if it is ceiling lights, I know how to remove.

beluga 1 Report post Posted June 12, 2012 Over the weekend, another problem surfaced.... Our MBR toilet drainage is blocked! Tried using chemical solution and also use bendable metal wire to poke the blockage but unable to clear it. Asked our old trusty house fixer to clear the block. Guess what? Found dried cement in the drainage! He had to use some force to poke hard to break the cement that choked the pipe. We found this issue in our common toilet also but it was easy to clear as the drainage is directly accessible. In the case of the MBR, the vanity cabinet is directly above it.

When my place was under reno, i keep on checking pipes to make sure nothing was stuck there..... still can check on the bigger pipes before the installation of toilet bowls and basins. thank goodness nothing was pour down or else i might have the same problem as yours too.

taichipanda 3 Report post Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) *quote deleted*Your downlight is still using ballast? That is old design, the new design downlight no need ballast, can save another 8w of power, no more noise too. When you switch on your downlight, does it blink blink then on or instant on?

First they lousy experience dont know how to gauge how much cement to mix for a particular job.Second they lazy to discard the left over cement or the waste water from washing their cement bucket into trash bag.Third they conveniently pour everything down the drainage pipe.

For 7 over years NONE spoiled.If got blink means it has ballast and that ballast waste another 8w; if your downlight is 32w, plus the ballast will be 40w, hardly energy saving.The Philip downlight FBG300/301/302/303/304/305/306 all no ballast, E27 screw in bulb, 14w X 1 or X 2. Bulb included. $33-45 each. Cheap, good and comes with warranty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try 1 if success then modify all. May void your warranty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
