jaslee77 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2009 Hi hi, I recently bought lights (and kana CHOP like carrot) from this shop at Balestier, Singapore Lighting Mart Pte Ltd from this salesperson Addy. I have total 22 PLC lights, he sold to me at $44.00 each!!! Somemore without the tube inside. The next day I went to another shop and saw the same model, the salesperson quoted me $18.00 each without tube. Not to mention all other lights in the kitchen/yard/balcony/bedroom/toilets... cuz I saw another same light for my bedroom, the other shop price-tagged at $100+, but I bought for $290+... everything they sold me is MORE THEN DOUBLE!!! By the way, the T5 he quoted me $32.00 for 3ft, I bought from another shop @ $16.00!!! This is the most expensive lesson I've learnt in my life. And the best thing is my ID (*****) brought me there! I really wonder how much they have been cheating off from consumer like us. PLEASE remember do not even step into this black shop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made the same mistake as u but not as expensive as urs, the price i bought was like slightly more exp by 10-20 & the labour charge was exorbitant. If i were u, i wld screw the ID deep deep, demand he gimme more discount for the works done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
