    Last week did another loot by signing purchase order from CityGAS~

    Pretty standard model i assume:

    Gas Clothes Dryer (RD-600CG) + Gas Water Heater Model MA-10FE :rolleyes:

    Next stuff would be considering installing False-ceiling or i should skip that.

    Are downlights energy savings? Because one u switch on most probably you will on all/half the lights (i know can be adjusted)

    Or i should go for conventional lighting~ :unsure:

    - Kitchen 4 points

    - MBR 6 points

    - CR1 4 points

    - CR2 4 points

    -------------------

    Total: 18points :unsure: hmm worth it?

    -------------------

    1) Downlights are expensive..

    Considering heading to JB or getting at Geylang.

    2) Have not request for price to install downlights.

    Was told roughly $48~

    3) I guess bulbs is not included when getting downlights?

    4) Have no confirm how long of LED strips do i require...

    IMO the most important thing to decide first is your budget! :notti:

    after yesterday, confidence in ID increased by a significant amount. left them alone a few days after the last meetup and glad to see quite a few things done without us having to do anything :sport-smiley-003:

    i think now they are going to put some some of the lightboxes and false ceilings. :sport-smiley-004:

    sidenote

    the LEDs i ordered from the link recommended by bro Centrino arrived. the stuff that i have chance to test all working. certain stuff haven get to test.

    aircon guy also delivered the compressors. no need to pay anything until everything is fixed.

    I am actually looking at those serving tables so when vistors come over, i can just push the serving tables out and let them put their cups when serving drinks. When we are not using i can actually push it to the kitchen to serve as another shelfing unit.....

    Any idea where can i get one of those serving tables?...... thanks

    You can try Totts.

    I saw cheaper one at courts tampines also.

    foldable some more!

    Yo Simon

    U sure knows quite a bit on lighting :good:

    For my house, I have 25 Phillips downlights, cove lightings (T5 and LED strips) **** and mbr, LED strips at kitchen cabinet, TV console, pole wardrobe, "Caboche" pendant light at dinning, chandelier at br1, "hot air balloon" pendant light at br2, "crystal ball" ceiling lights at yard and bomb shelter. We love round lights....a little bit of the feng shui stuffs.

    nah i am just the average joe. my knowledge is limited to whatever is available from other users' experience or whatever information that is made available by suppliers.

    imo lightings have to be decided base on many factors, like user preference (see already must be shiok or at least comfortable), physical limitations like height of apartment/floor area, cost concerns like electrical usage and even environmental differences

    for e.g. if u are living on high floor, and have a windy apartment, or u are polar bear and forever switch on aircon one, then probably halogen bulbs can be used since they provide the best ambiance at the expense of high electrical cost.

    but if you low floor, and dun use aircon....even if u are okay with spending alot on electricity, the halogen bulbs will blow faster since the temperature is going to be much higher. worse if the design of the light fitting is absymal

    Alot of the lights we see from EU/US, take note their weather is much much different from ours. usually they have much cooler weather. thus what works there might not work here. (this is the exact case for IKEA)

    which was the case for some downlights that I saw along balestier. the vendor say design from EU/US. branded blah blah. the downlight is almost enclosed yet the vendor suggested using normal incandescent bulbs. :bangwall:

    haha Simontsh,ayukie,centrino2,MeRfMeRf& matrox :rolleyes:

    I bet you guys got more intensive lighting compare to me :P

    Yeah,,shiong...

    1x downlight cost say $30x 40 =$1200

    1x lighting point $48x 40= $1920 :jawdrop:

    Total Damage = $3120 :jawdrop:

    Centrino2 also got lots of cove light i reckon hehe

    haha what is changi style lightings bro~ :dribble: sounds good i guess?

    Mind to share some infor for E27 holders & PLC types?

    Now u guys scared me on the costing liow~ :deal:

    Nice meeting btw! hehe :good:

    Changi style means like changi airport lor, super bright. Night time also bright like day LOL

    For me i have less than 20 downlights wor

    4 for dining 5 for lighting 2 for corridor

    6 for mbr

    Use aquafit for bathrooms. Cheapo light for store kitchen and bedrooms haha. Going to compliment with floor lamps for brightness.

    E27 is the type of base. For g9 g10 g24 etc etc

    Plc is the type of bulbs. Got plc, halogen LED

    So theres E27 halogen, energy saving and led bulb.

    If using bulbs that operate with considerable heat, better to observe if the enclosed area for the bulb is good enough to regulate the heat

    Most bulbs blow because of overheating

    I need 20x for living hall

    4 for CR1

    I know 1st can smack smack ID "kaa cheng" not to present most of the time to check n update on the status :P

    2nd smack smack will be the electrician not picking the correct instructions from the ID :P

    After smacking, ask them to buy u air blended latte to cool you down and throw you free chemical wash hehe (guess im too evil) :rolleyes:

    today met electrician and IDs. clarified that its done by their guys. ID also :bangwall: at the errors.

    went through the electrical requirements again. hopefully this time all the mistakes will be rectified

    Yo Terence

    The "silver thingy" is called Eubiq and u can get more information at http://www.eubiq.com/. The strip comes in various length based on your requirement and u can attached plugs, lights etc along the strip. The strip that I bought is 1m.IMG_1326.jpg

    As for the LED strip, I have the carpenter made a groove under the top cabinet to hide the strip in. I have the below photo taken with only the LED switched at night.....

    65580212.jpg

    Is this the brighter strip for the kitchen? if yes then looks bright enough....if this is the old strip....then OMG the new strip is going to be very bright.....

    Haha yeah if I have the cash most prob will engage them for 'design & build '

    Maybe can get small stuff from them.

    R u using Blum system too?

    P/s: I wonder IKEA copy Blum or both belongs to the same company :)

    mine all will be done by SC...their own brand kitchen....good or not i dunno. i think only the 2 steel profiles are from blum the rest all own brand one.

    now alot of copycats in the market....just need to check on the quality....

    for IKEA....u need to read....already alot of reviews.

    IMO things that you are going to use a long time and dun want to keep replacing, better skip IKEA. the problem might not be because of quality....rather the conditions that the product was made for.

    For e.g. alot of ang moh brands in EU/US very good....but come here all chui....because of weather problems. Have to take into consideration our environment is more humid than EU/US....

    Erm why would someone help you lay trunking .. Looks like ac trunking .. Think should be your Id n gang bah .. My Hse gt alot of "armies" lately ... Haha

    That's my suspicion too. Its either

    A) another staff from s k y c r e a t i o n came to give instructions

    Or

    B) electrician didn't give proper instructions

    That's my 2 logical guess since the number lock only a few ppl know ma

    But since all deny and if i assume everyone telling the truth

    It becomes a mata case lor :furious:

    haha cant search for price list after working hours.

    Guess their stuff off the server :)

    Can i know what "so" special about Blum? brand? :rolleyes:

    good quality plus lifetime warranty if i remember correctly.

    definitely a good choice if u have the cash

    DRAMA UPDATE:

    2 days ago, I went to the flat to do a quick check.

    Very very very :furious: when I saw a hole that is drilled on the wall at the tv console area into my bedroom. and someone laid a long fat trunking in the bedroom, at a position that is IMPOSSIBLE to be hidden by the wardrobe.

    i immediately took photo and sent a msg to both my IDs. both unable to answer what happened. I gave them a day to check.

    Next day, both still have no clues about the hole. I arranged to meet one of them in the evening. but somehow he no show. explained that his phone was low batt and failed to contact me.

    nevermind, but the fact that both still dunno who is responsible made me fumed. I immediately locked the gates and changed the lock number.

    called authorities immediately today. advice received was that the works must be done by someone in charge. either the electrician, who is under instructions from ID, therefore ID is responsible.

    but since all claim to dunno what happened, it means someone has ILLEGALLY entered my premises and VANDALIZED my unit.

    relayed the info to ID. she said she will investigate and contact me again.

    :furious: cannot believe a simple reno can become a mata case.
