LIGHTS Previously wrote about receiving my lights from taobao here and I'm back here to do a review of the lights, when in use! I used agar-ration when deciding on the wattage of the lights. One thing I heard is that if getting lights from taobao, one should up the wattage. I would say this is generally true. Main gate 5W; neutral light. Just nice! My mum said that the area outside our flat is too dark, and suggested that we add a lighting point here. Hence I got a wall lamp - it's really cuteee! Electrician shifted this lamp a little higher (because our lamp points downwards haha) to ensure that when we open the main gate fully, it will not hit the bulb. Our electrician is very meticulous! Living Room 1.5m track; 3x 7W track lights in neutral light. Track lights at the entryway. We were only given one lighting point in front of the main door and we are not sure where else to place lights for the shoe cabinet area without making the area look bulky and awkward. Hence we decided to use track lights like at the TV area. Better still, we used track lights throughout the living room and this track here is in a straight line as the one at the TV area. Electrician shifted the track a little outwards so that the shoe cabinet doors can be opened without hitting the track lights. 1.5m / 3m track; 7W track light in 3 tones I chose to use long tracks because I feel that it should at least be longer than the TV. The wall opposite the TV wall is twice as long so I put 3m track lol. Rather than having enough light, it's my OCD at work. Electrician shifted the tracks here to be in line with the one he changed at the shoe cabinet area without us telling him. Meticulous like that, I like! I'd say that track lights are sufficient to light up the house! Dining 3x 7W; neutral light It was a struggle deciding on the dining lights. We initially wanted woody pendant lights but non felt right. The one instant I saw this, I knew this was it! I bought the long disc (at the ceiling) separately because I wanted 3 lights without the individual round looking disc. Passage way 0.5m track; 7W track lights in neutral light It's weird to have only 1 track light here, but 7W is really very bright for this area! I might buy 3W lights to place here. Note that my passage way is shorter than most flats due to the unique layout. Household shelter 15W; white light A good brightness. This black framed light is supposed to fit our monochrome common toilet but since we changed the theme after the vanity failed to arrive, this is kept in here instead. Lol. Kitchen 36W; white light The light is hugeeee and to be honest, I find it a little too bright. Especially when we do not have top cabinets. Heard from a friend that his ID recommended 30 to 36W for kitchen. I guess with top cabinets, 36W is okay. Else, I think I would prefer 30 to 32W for kitchen. Service Yard 7W; white light It turned our nicer than I expected! Love it. MBR MBR entry way. 9W; neutral light. Boxing up of the air con trunking made the area rather awkward with a dent in the middle. Hence contractor decided to fabricate a false ceiling and advised us to get downlight instead. I love this downlight which I got from taobao, it's superrrrrr silm. It costs like $5 plus and I was initially doubtful if it would work. Well, it did! For this small area, I think a 6/7W should suffice haha. 1m track; 7W track lights in neutral We have 2 lights in the MBR (other than entry way) because we partitioned off the bed area. Absolutely no clue on what light to get for the wardrobe area. With my dresser there, I decided to use track lights as I can angle my track lights to where I want it to be. 24W; neutral light Argh it is not flushed to the ceiling. Other than that, I love this light. Surprisingly, it is not easy to find a simple woody light. MBR & common toilets Ceiling light: 15W in white light T5 lights in warm white The T5 lights were bought locally. Should have confirmed the length earlier and bought from taobao instead haha. Other than that, loving the effect of white and warm light (separately) and the acrylic panels too! BR2 & BR3 30W White light for BR2 (study room) Neutral light for BR3 Brightness is good! My personal opinion is that white light is more conducive for studying. If in doubt, can purchase the 3 tone light version instead, think it's only a little more expensive. Summary Hope the above is useful! One point to note though is that I personally prefer rooms to be bright so I prefer white light. Neutral light is to create a cozy bedroom feel. Haha. Warm T5 lights is great, though. Spent in total about $500 inclusive of the extra track and track lights I got. SELLING I have some items which I did not use or have to give up in the process. PM me if anyone is interested! 1) 1x 1m white track (thickened version) - electrician approves of it! $5 2) 1x 6W square (super silm) down light (initially bought this for the passage way but we used track lights instead) $4 3) Solid wood Passageway/Balcony/Foyer Light (unable to use due to boxing up of aircon trunking) $20 - Comes with 5W warm light E27 bulb - Supports up to 40W bulbs
