3Dyms 1 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Hi mrmerry! Ermm hope that didn't offend those who are fans of LEDs. Just finished work and washed out....so EQ level zero No worries... All discussions welcomed. I admit I went thru the whole process of "LED or normal.... LED or normal".P/s: love your house Reno. Always a joy to read about Reno jobs done by the famous Mr K. How I wished I had known about him earlier, then perhaps would hv asked him to do my home Reno. Edited July 23, 2013 by 3Dyms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3Dyms 1 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 can share you LED downlights lobang ?.. i think i will go 50% LED and 50% non-LED.. haha..Actually, my LED downlights are thru my contractor's lobang. A downside to this is, no safety mark. Maybe you check and see if your ID got any lobangs or not? Else, you can ask a quote from Bro Eric (his thread is: http://www.renotalk.com/forum/topic/42520-ceiling-fans-downlightsetc-trusted-supplier-since-2011/). His are safety mark lights.

macuser77 1 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Hi macuser77,Yah. What you mention is true too. But I'm a SHM with 3 kiddos at home, so guess our usage will be higher then the usual household with 2 working adults & kids off in childcare the whole day. Plus, since i got my LED downlights at a good price, I reckon it's a good 'risk' to take. Praying hard that all my lights will work well and no need to change anything for at least 5-yrs. *cross fingers cross toes* Hi 3Dyms.I think you'll not need to switch bulbs as philips LEDs have a technical lifespan of 15 yrs! I guess when the bulbs wear out your kids will be old enough to change it for you guys Maybe wife and I will purchase 3 LEDs per mth...and we'll have full LED track lights in a yr. Haha Edited July 23, 2013 by macuser77 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HahaThat will be fantastic!! My hubs hates changing light bulbs. But then, I have 3 gals.... Hahah. Get their future bf's to help out. Lol. I'm sure LED will be advancing a lot more, so can take your time. Who knows, maybe in a year's time, my LED lights will be considered 'old fashion'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My hubs hates changing light bulbs too! Surprisingly, our lights from the previous reno lasted 8 years (hubs instructed that i say they are non-LED..) with probably only 3 that required changing due to wear and tear. Needless to say, my hubby didn't change it and we left it as such... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Needless to say, my hubby didn't change it and we left it as such...Hi Mrs Macuser77,Wow! Your non LED lights can last so long. My old PLC downlights needed changing now and then. At one stage, he was changing like 2-3 bulbs consistently for a couple of weeks till we ran out of spares. Yes... our old place had downlights everywhere (even the kitchen & bathrooms). For my new place, downlights are now in the living dining areas and rooms only. Even then, we have a grand total of 38 downlights. That's also a main reason why we went for LED this time. He wants to avoid changing bulbs for as long as possible. Edited July 23, 2013 by 3Dyms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EmPro 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 Yippee!Over the weekend, Bro Eric came over to install our white Fanco ceiling fans. Initially, we had chosen the 54" blades. But due to it being out of stock, Bro Eric suggested that we take the 60" fans for both my living & dining areas instead as my L-Box is big enough. Superb recommendation! The extra 3" does make a difference. A wonderful job as usual. Both hub & me are very pleased with them. See pics below:lovely fans.Btw, is the fan installed on a false ceiling? My ceiling is false, not very sure whether can install ceiling fan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3Dyms 1 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 Hi EmPro,These fans were not installed on false ceiling. It's on my actual cement ceiling. However, for my old place, Bro Eric did install a ceiling fan onto my false ceiling and it was fantastic. No wobbling, no shaking even at the highest speed. Last I heard, the buyers that took over the unit still has that same fan up. *thumbs up* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
