Hi Ando,
Sorry for the late update! We just returned from our honeymoon yesterday!
I tried to match the green on the bulbs versus the strips and I think you are right. It is lime green. So don't upgrade, stick to your 1.0. I think the only difference is brightness.
48 KDK Fans are very quiet. But because we installed a false ceiling, there is wind echo which makes a low humming sound. Because of this, our contractor added more backbone into the false ceiling to reduce the echo. If you take down the fan and just test the sound, the motor has no noise at all.
KDK after sales service also very good. They came by our place free of charge to check out the echo problem, and then found out it was actually due to false ceiling, which my contractor rectified the next day.
Wind power good enough for a 3m x 3m room, and I turn it on at low speed setting.
And we bought a new clock from overseas..
Don't know whether to hang it or just leave it on the floor..
I will post more on our reno journey tomorrow! Now need to catch up on jet lag..
