Settled lightings today :)

Lighting from A.F. Lighting House (Balestier Road).

I would say very nice and professional service from the father & son plus mother for giving discount.

Total spent: $1704.51

8 sets of 1x10W PLC (passage way to bedrooms, WC, MBR entrance, MBR false ceiling)

16 sets of 2x13W PLC (false ceilings @ foyer, dining, living)

3 sets of 2x18W PLC (2 bathrooms, yard)

1 set of 2x26W PLC (kitchen)

3 sets of 3x36W ceiling light (3 bedrooms)

1 set of 1x32W ceiling light (utility room)

4 x 4ft T5 (covelight @ dining)

2 x 3ft T5 (covelight @ dining)

Went furniture shopping today...trying to confirm the sofa, dinning and coffee table.

Actually placed deposit for this sofa (we ordered black) at Lorenzo. Later regreted and went back to have refund.

Reason being the L shape is too long 1.8m and made the distance between tv console and L-shape thing narrower by what we planned.

The sofa length is still ok at 2.56m.

Later, we went to Mondi to confirm what we saw a few days back.

Ordered black.

Hi ocheeeng,

I like the sofa oso. How much you pay for that?

hi ocheeng,

do you have the price breakdown for the plc?

the 1x10w is enough for passageway/mbr entrance?

My passageway to bedrooms is around 4.2m long and 1m width.

I put 3 set of 1x10w (warm white) along the way.

Enough or not (i.e. how bright you want it to be) is personal's preference.

My mbr entrance is even shorter. Only 1.2m long and 1m width.

Only the tv console side is fake wall (i.e. plaster partition wall) which is easily hacked.

The rest are real concrete walls which they use power tools to cut a groove, put wires and then plaster up to conceal.

I think the more difficult part will be to cut groove in the ceiling...

Yes, clipsal switches. They come default with my apartment.

So my contractor supplied the same for additional points.

Additional points are package price consists the new part and installation charge (inclusive of concealing).

the silver grey switches,r they mounted correctly?

looks like it was rotated by 90deg
