I didnt buy from tampoi as they dont have cool white for downlight for the design i want...so end up buying at another light shop nearer to causeway....

yes...maybe not much diff....but do note that when you buy in JB, you get to see the staff test all the lights that you purchased on the spot so if there is any faulty ones, you can reject and change.

for taobao, you wouldnt know until you received and tested them.

i buy from JB and test every single lights and change all that are faulty or wrong color on the spot.

I see, ya, I bought a few more extras just in case some may be faulty. Never really bought stuffs from taobao before, now can only hope the items are working good, haven't got the items yet. Thanks for the advice monk8:)

Some minor updates,

more shopping, bought our 47" LED LG TV with a sound bar LG NB3520A after thinking through do we really need a SMART TV as we will most probably be getting a Andriod box or a wireless dongle

Then we went to Ikea to bought some wire baskets for the wardrobe, as our ID is very nice, he will help us customise our wardrobe design to our own liking and practical uses.

We wanted wire baskets for easy accessability to our folded clothes, and will also be getting trousers hanger and tie/belt hanger too.

Selected the colours of our laminates yesterday, a tough decision but hopefully everything will be quite close when finished.

We went up to our new place to see the progress of the kerbs and kitchen cabinet tiles today, everything was done, so next up will be painting and carpentry works :)

One challenge we faced is we didn't expect that we need to hang the crystals ourselves on the hanging light, took us around 2 hours plus to finish the 3 of them, tiring but quite fun too haha. Its still worth it considering that we only got this nice crystal light at around SGD $45, can't wait to see it in our new home. It come with 3 free LED lightbulb too.

The completed crystal hanging on the frame with the led lightbulb too. It look more complete with the dazzling crystals beside :D

Nice buys from taobao! Can share how much shipping did u pay?

  • Author

thank you. It's around SGD $70 plus, because of the weight as I bought 15 downlights and choose 7 days delivery instead of economic delivery

Hi Easter,

May I know how much is the down light? How is the build quality? Dun mind can share the link for this down light.

Thanks

hi max, it's around $17.80 each

the link is over here

The only thing I know is unlike usual downlight which focus on the particular spot, this downlight will spread out the light more evenly as the light source is from the side.

My house require 8 downlights, but I bought 15, got some extras just in case faulty.

Can't comment much on the quality as I haven't test them yet.
