bluewater 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2010 joseeng - yeah...i went to see lightings.com tat day...their lightings r pretty cheap, i must agree though variety dun seem to have much....could be cos i didn't check out their own shops... btw, latest updates....managed to sign contract with Edmund yesterday....he's super efficient...told him that we actually scheduled our aircon trunking with Best Tech on tues....nw, he already asked his workers to pay the protective layering liao....so we won't miss the schedule.... way to go!!!! Grace, Do be present during the aircon installation & make sure all are done properly. Fyi, I don't read much good reviews from BT. Just be on the cautious side yah.

KSJL 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2010 KSJL n chipee - i also want undermount sink!!!!!!! tat day asked Edmund, he say can do it but ar, i must get the 1 sink bowl type....just get the larger 1 sink bowl type....confirm cannot get those 2 sink bowl type....else, cannot go in ok loh....for the concept i want, i tik i willing to sacrifice 2 sink bowl to 1 sink bowl KSJL - haven't gone to Balestier Light Arcade but will check it out though erm, i'm quite kuku abt the downlights n LED lights thingy....all i know i tik hb's keen on the L-box thingy....not sure wat kind of lights it is for those.... tell u ar, tat day went down to PJ, their shop just closed....-_- not sure wat other brands to check out though....went to Hoe Kee but not happy with their stuff....their sink choices like limited leh....though they r very into Blanco sinks....too ex liao.... wah seh, if i keep going to the unit, will Edmund feel stressed or not ar? hehehhe Grace/Chipee: fyi - I saw that my below neighbour is also using 2 bowl sink (1 big n 1 small) and it looks nice. Hence, you gals better think twice before getting Edmund to install as you will be the one who will be using them in the future. I love my 2 bowl sink alot ...really good compared to my previous 1 bowl sink. Anyway, the choice is yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KSJL 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2010 grace, for lightings, you can consider lightings.com which is along balestier road too...saw them put up banner guaranteeing the lowest price if not will return the difference...perhaps you can go and check it out yourself. Though Lightings.com stuff is cheap but honestly speaking the quality is not as good as we think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess the bowl sink is up to individual...I bet due to the small kitchen area we have now so most would prefer to have more area on table top space...though i have my 2 bowl sink we are fine with the space near to the sink...

Grace, Price & after-sales service wise, I think lightings.com.sg offers one of the best in the market. As for their fixtures, I have encountered some (currently still installed @ my place) which does compromise on the quality. If you really on budget, you can go for lightings.com.sg, else Light Arcade will be a good choice to go to, though limited choices I feel. Chan Huat does stock in nice lightings but more expensive. End of the day, it depends on your budget & expectation. Walk around & decide will be the best way to go... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
