that's what im being told of la.. 18 downlights = 18 points.. but T5 lighting might be different calculations

that's what im being told of la.. 18 downlights = 18 points.. but T5 lighting might be different calculations

18 downlights doesn't mean 18 points. if 1 switch control 4 downlights, its mean 1 point + 3 looping points.

thks, what a huge price difference.

Mine is condo, is there difference in price too ?

Any recommendation of reliable electrician ?

we're paying $2100 (re-wiring package) for our 5-room HDB flat.

If you're keen, PM me for my contractor's contact.

Hi,

Why do u need a complete set of DB? Just wondering why is there a need to change the DB... I was recommended by my ID to shift the DB in order to cater for my shoe cabinet. Is it safe to do that? What happens if the electrician did not do a good job?
