Came back from JB yesterday very satisfied. Here are some advice: 1)Plan your trip, unlike s'pore, one point to the other in JB is really far apart. This is my proposed journey, go to Yes (22 Jalan Serampang, Taman Pelangi, 80050 Johor Bahru)for fan, then to Aldeco (17 & 17A, Jalan Sutera Satu, Taman Sentosa, 80150 Johor Bahru. Tel: 607-331 1250 ) for bathroom items then to Avalon for lights. These are lined up one after the other along the way, hoped i'm not wrong. 2) Personally, i was at Tampoi then then avalon which was a disaster for my pals that came with me. I was in each shop for over 3 hours; select, setup, inspect and pay, my friends have to wait out the entire ordeal. But if you guys use above route, friends can go shop at Pelangi when you are at Yes, eat at Taman Sentosa when you are at Aldeco and shop at Aeon when you are at Avalon. Alternatively, you can place Aldeco last, where you can also wash your car, pump petrol and makan. 3) Bring buddies, each person gives you a $150 tax free quota, so the more the merrier. Moreover, you can get feedback for your selections. Avalon is a modern lighting shop with good quality egyptian and swarovski crystal lights. Unlike many lighting shops, Avalon products are up to date and they dun sell K9 crystals. For those who fancy shops with designer lights eg those sold at lush, then this is a good spot. Most importantly, their price is very reasonable (range of 2-300 sing even for elaborates ones). FYI, they are having a promo till end month. For your reference, i got KDK V56 at 488 ringgit and a whole lot of other items. I think the price should be more or less the same at Yes. Exchange rate now $1 sing = $2.46 ringgit, really no brainer if to chose between a day at Balestia/jalan besar or a day at JB, defintely JB. LED lights i'm still comparing prices and quality, if you guys have lobang do let me know. Thanks!
