Hi PNC...u gotta plan it man! It was so much fun doing this planning of lighting and electrical layout. :sport-smiley-004:

although sadly i didnt get much help here when i asked back then so i peservered myself. :D

K, this could be a long one. Hope im not rambling rubbish. :lol:

Went thru with Mr Yeak the lighting (and electrical) plan last weekend. Then shopped for my lights few days back at lightings.com.sg. My lights amounted to $950. :)

For ur living and dining, will u be having any L-box or false ceiling? If yes, u'd probably be looking at downlights. Two types, PLC (energy saving) and Halogen (nice effect, but warm easy if use too much). Spacing is abt 4 to 5 ft from each other is good enough to provide ample lighting.

If u plan to showcase some painting or murals on ur walls, halogen spotlight is a necessary evil. ;)

When purchasing downlight best to get those casing with frosted glass cover otherwise if clear glass, its gna be very glary and uncomfortable.

I decided to go with warm white cove lighting above dining area since i didnt splurge on special dining lights. For this, Mr Yeak advised me to for T8 loose fitting. Something abt not wanting it encased like the T5. Since the stretch for cove lighting is ard 17ft, he told me to get 18ft instead so that his electrician can overlap the lights to provide a continuous effect. I didnt think of this. :thumbs up:

For kitchen cabinet and vanity top, i got some T5 cool white to act as my task light. Warm white is a no no for me in the kitchen coz u need good lighting to check on the browning of the cake or whether the meat has grilled well :P Of coz i bought ceiling lights for the kitchen as general lighting. :good:

I had no ceiling lights in the 3 rooms. Built an L-box with 3 downlights in each room to maintain a modern and sleek look within my house. Warm white for bedrooms for cosy intimate feel. Daylight for study, well this one self explanatory. :P

Since i didnt had any ceiling lights in the 3 rooms, i compensated with ceiling fans instead. Bought 4 sets from the same shop. Cost was abt $1.1k :) Hah! Hope that was some tip! :dunno:

Actually all Yeakers unit the grouting is great because he only uses one tiling team. U could ask Mr Yeak if he could show u ard some of his work. But yah, u can drop by my unit anytime just that its still covered with corrugated paper coz plastering works ongoing. :) So can only see wall tiles not floor. :lol:

Really shed some light on lightings. This is informative.

Thanks.
