Moving on to lights and other fixtures soon, then on to the last leg of our renovation phase.

Good thing we are reusing most of our furniture from our current place. Excited that we are shifting in soon! :dribble:

Our first lights are up! Here's a retro industrial pendant that will feature right in the middle of the home. Seems like a must-have light for those going for a retro/industrial look these days.

Nice! Light goes well with the black tubing

Thanks!

As our electrician install the lights, we thought we'll share some of our purchases. Half our lights were bought on Tao Bao – delivered in 10 packages. Of them, one item was entirely wrong and two had minor nicks and shipping defects. Two was average in quality and make, while the other five were of good quality and were better than expected. We have since returned the erroneous and defective items and waiting for reshipment. Overall, it was quite a satisfying experience shopping online as opposed to walking up and down Balestier and Jalan Besar. Here's a sneak preview of a few of them.

Will you be reviewing your purchases? I'm interested to know which were the ones that were better in quality and which are not.

Probably not till the level of specific pieces. Might not be that useful, since quality is quite subjective and the defects were mainly due to transportation.

And because we already got them at a much cheaper price compared to the shops here, we aren't too concern with their quality, as long as they work.

All purchased from TaoBao + lightings.com.sg (Jln Besar) + Hock Eng Hin (Tiong Bahru).
