    Would like to confirm with any experts here on this issues.....

    I have wall mounted a few of my ikea furniture onto my wall, now that I am selling my house, can I took it down from the walls and bring them to my new house? (During valuation, these items has not been taken down)

    Legally, am I suppose to dismantle these Ikea furnitures?

    e.g.

    1) Ikea shoes box

    2) Ikea Besta Cabimet

    3) Ikea Lack

    Guys,

    while we're at calculating the number of 'W' taken, how do we actually calculate how much would it cost us?

    for example its charged by 30.45 cents/kWh right?

    which means if I use an iron say 2000W, how much would it cost me per hour?

    Yup, your calculation is correct.

    Got a question about energy saving fluorescence lights. My ID advised me to use 2x13W downlights in my living/dining room and I can control two downlights with each switch button. However even when with only 2 downlights on, I still find that it's a bit bright when I am watching TV.

    If I buy 10W fluorescent bulbs to fit into the current 2x13W downlights, will there be any energy saving since the ballast is still for 13W bulbs? Will it cause the 10W bulbs to 'blow out faster'?

    Hi lawry,

    I saw some bulbs in Japan, I think it's still about 20+W each bulb, the colours is like those neon/argon light tubes. Not as energy savings as the normal fluorescent type. Think we can't use japan bulbs here though as they are made for use at 100V not 230V.

    Note that some bluish bulbs are with UV light for attracting insects/disinfecting.

    Using 10W PLC lamps on a 13W ballast will defintely shorted the lamps' life. But not too much to cause any worries.

    13W lamps consumes 13W of energy, but please don't forgot the ballast has some wattage lost due to the magnetic coil. The ballast may have a wattage losses of 3W for your case.

    Your old energy consumption should be 13W + 3W=16W

    If you change to 10W, ideally your energy con 10W + 3W=13W, you still save 3W :)

    But if you use a 10W ballast, then you savings can be up to 4W.
