    Hi ma5quer,

    1. Assisted Ordering - Very fast, usually within 1 day after payment.

    2. Shipment to Warehouse - Chinese couriers are quite efficient, if within Guangzhou area, usually within 1-3 days. Further states take up to 5 days

    3. Packaging for shipment at warehouse - about 3 days

    4. Shipment from Warehouse to doorsteps- about 10 days.

    5. Origami Light (for 3 bedrooms)

    Brand: WeiMa

    Link: http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=39103924822

    Build Quality: 4/5

    Brightness: 3/5

    Value: 4/5

    Verdict: Just Pass :unsure:

    i really like this light. Nice design which makes it looks slimmer that it really was. Cool features, remote control to adjust brightness from 24-48W, also can adjust from warm-normal-cool white light. Build quality is good. Did not give a higher rating as I would like it to be brighter. Nonetheless, I like the warm light and the kids love the remote. Get a higher wattage one if u have a big room. Not really very cheap at RMB408 for the 52cm model, but u pay for the features and build quality.

    Hi Angellim, The varnishing is $580. Yes, they will sand the area with machine before varnishing, they will sand manually for those areas the machine cannot reach. Overall, I am pleasantly surprised by the results! :good:

    One thing to caution is that it is v v v dusty!!!

    getting my parent's place ready for renov and I am looking at TB's LED! This looks like a good deal and thanks for sharing.

    Which size and walt did u get in the end? I am not sure which size I should go for, if not I sure order first. lol.

    am camping to see the final results! :D

    Hi Luvalist, I went for the 12w 4 inches diameter. I went for 12w as I am afraid that TB lights are not as bright as stated, but this item proves me wrong.

    Hi ma5quer, I am not sure of the exact price for my laminates. Reason being I was quoted for vinyl initially. Plus my floor area is very small at 80sqf, which is subjected to minimal charges.

    Anyway, I did not go direct to supreme. My contractor charge me $580 for the vinyl, although I did laminate eventually. I did ask the supreme sales, the list price for my ac4 8mm exclusive range is abt $5.50psf.

    3. Hanging Light for Balcony



    Brand: 塔拉尔


    Link: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=37813988587



    Build Quality: 4/5


    Brightness: 4/5


    Value: 4/5


    Verdict: Hit! :good:



    Bought 2 of these for my balcony, but gotten the wrong size. I bought the 22cm version, which I feels looks a tad too small in my balcony. I think the effect will be better if I had gotten the 30cm version. Brightness no issue with the edison bulb. Build quality is decent as well. Again, need to be careful about sizes when buying online as it might give u the wrong impression. The 22cm version is at RMB68.31, which is pretty value for money.

    2. Hanging Lights

    Brand: 华夏通和灯饰

    Link: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=36692895536

    Build Quality: 4/5

    Brightness: 4/5

    Value: 4/5

    Verdict: Hit! :good:

    The quality of this hanging light is quite decent, the glass and the metal pieces are all well fabricated. Only the mounting mechanism looks a bit flimsy, and difficult to adjust the balance. Brightness from the edison bulbs is good, just hope it does not breakdown easily. At RMB299, I would think it is value for money for a light of this design and size.

    Installation of my taobao lights completed on saturday, will be sharing some of the hits and misses of the purchased lights here. First off the line is the track lights.

    1. Track Lights

    Brand: 爱德朗

    Link: http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=38168786984

    Build Quality: 2.5/5

    Brightness: 4/5

    Value: 3/5

    Verdict: Miss :no:

    The build quality of the lights are OK, but the tracks are terrible. My electrician spend quite sometime to fix them up. Brightness is good and seems to meet the specification of 12W. However, there is slight variation in the tone of the light for 1-2 out of the 10 pieces but barely noticeable. Just to remind Taobao buyers is the size of these track lights, they are really huge, I kinda underestimated it. AT RMB38.80 a piece, I think it is quite reasonable in price. Overall, I would advice to give this a miss mainly due to the poor quality tracks.
