Can you please tell me which is your opinion towards these brands?

So far, the brands who I found that they have the most comprehensive documentation, the design looks as high quality and also the price is very decent (maximum 1000SEK/1pc of downlight) are: Designlight, Hide a lite, SG Armaturen and Maxel LED.

Which of these brands you find them as having the best built quality and design? Has any of you used them in your projects?

The destination of downlights needed will be the kitchen, bathroom and living room LED lighting.

See the attached plan for more information. Any suggestions/recommendations are welcome!


Thank you,
Andrei

I recently used a lot of Malmbergs MD-99 and i must say that the light from these are by far the best i have seen so far, and specially when you have the price in mind.

I`m no expert but I did a bit of reaserch a while ago, before I bought a few led spot/downlights for myself. As I understood it, Hide-a-lite and Designlight seems to be the preferred choice for many professionals, which may indicate a high and even quality and good service before and in the long run. Malmbergs was known to be a bit lower quality but seems to have stepped up their quality and reputation even among professionals. I don`t know enough about the other brands.

Hide-a-lite and Designlight is the two we use most of. Products from Malmbergs is Mosley crap and is very bad quality.

Pay a little bit more for better products but also in the future it is far more easy to find replacement if you need.

I've seen the Malmbergs stand at Stockholm Light Fair and I've notice, indeed, that they have quite low quality products. The price is affordable for any pocket, but the quality pointed me to cheap metal and plastic.

The catalogue from DesignLight is really comprehensive, as same as the one from Hide-a-lite. I will have to choose between these 2 brands. I find paying maximum 4-600SEK/spot as being reasonable for my project...
