For down lights, personally, just go Tampoi Lighting in JB. Why? Cos price not too far off as compared to TB. Most important, u can see n test the real thing. Touch wood, if really got problem, going Malaysia is easier than China. Hehe

Coming back, I also bought a few things from TB and went thru a private shipper. My stuffs should be arriving in few days time. Will give feedback once I received my stuffs.
