  1. ya for eubiq, to connect the power is to turn about 90degrees counter clock wise after you plug it in, cannot be slide so actually depending on the plugs you buy, you may not fit so many on the track. Sorry for the wall, i think believe the correct word should be partition, if you "really" wan to pay a lot, can ask your friendly contractor to knock a trench into your partition and plaster it, check your house plans to see which wall can be knocked cos the track is actually quite thick. As for the short circuit issue, unless you really go and pour water over it until the embedded track kenna submerged then it will short circuit for the track, there a 13A fuse to prevent shorting out your whole house. Actually need quite a bit of water (tested so you guys no need to test liao) but i dun recommend mounting it flush with your coffee table thou... and if some water seep in just wait until it dries, its an expensive track not worth to spoil it
  2. Yes, that is also a power track. If you go to their website you can see its almost the same as the eubiq power track except that it can be "slide" into position? Would anyone confirm this? Because eubiq's plugs cannot be slide. ps: I do not own any of these tracks, but i destroyed 3 eubiq power track for research purposes back in 2009, it was retailing at 388/set at that time. It could not be slide because it may cause arcing. I would say all these are super overpriced, just buy 10sets of extendable 6socket plugs and get someone to embed it into the wall for you. It will be slimmer when you plug anything in it too, there is no additional socket. If you think very ugly, buy happy faced sockets haha.
  3. I work as an R&D engineer in a electronic design company which also deals with LED lightnings distribution. From my assessment and calculations, it is not logical to install LED unless: 1) Costly method of replacement, for example high ceilings/industrial area where the labor cost to replace and lost of productivity may actually cost more than the LED fixture itself. 2) Reliability, system critical areas where illumination are tantamount. I do not design LED drivers, but usually drivers do not breakdown unless its in abusive environment. Beware of some china brands, they usually "over-drive" their led so actually it does not save electricity. Try to go for brands that are designed somewhere else but manufacture in china, these are only slightly more expensive. Now here comes the numbers: Typically a return of investment time of 8years ( estimation of 1% increase of the current tariff/year) for home usage. Some very expensive brands may never pay themselves off. My verdict? Not worth at all! I will never recommend anyone to install any LED fixtures for home usage for logical reasons. But hey, humans are irrational so if you really want to install any LED fixture go find one that has the most intricate design. See liao also song lol.
  4. hi, I am wondering how much it would cost to install wireless switches for a typical 5room flat? I have 4 2control flip switches and 3 4control flip switches they are for lights/fans. No need sensors. I been surfing around and found some vendors which does this, but I hope some bros or sis here can shed some light on the pricing so I would not get a shock after driving down to their shop. Anyone bros who DIY please give feedback too, I love DIY if it cuts the cost down by a lot. Thanks
