r the philips lights much cheaper then sg? authentic?

they look authentic, but to be honest, i don't know how to verify. I got them from TMall though, so the chances of it being authentic is somewhat higher?

they do cost less than SG. the whole lot of lights + shipping + agent fees + delivery fees etc etc i bought on taobao cost about half of what i would have paid in sg (i got a quote from lightings.com.sg for the same items). :)

with the pipe there, the floor trap can't open fully (90 deg). if i let go of it, it will snap shut. i also can't push the pipe any further back. if the pipe is moved just a couple of cm to the left i won't have this issue!

Hi Lemon, this can be easily solved. You can even do it yourself with $2 material cost, or ask your contractor to do it. 2 min job.

Get 2 pcs of pvc elbows for this pvc pipe.

Cut your existing aircon pvc drain pipe by 2cm.

Place an elbow to turn it to the left. (From the perspective looking at it)

Then another elbow to turn it towards the floor trap.

You don't even need to glue it tight. Make it easy to wash away internal slime within the tail end of this pipe if needed.
