Why standing desk? This is a good readup (quote below) and I feel the same after a short stint with a makeshift setup. Need recommendations for a standing desk that is good without over pricey. Anyone? Send it my way! If the ready-made is too pricey, I am thinking of simple DIY: table-top Ikea kitchen tops are decent / reliable and cheap : http://www.ikea.com/.../kitchen/10472/ Idea Pragel Workstop (first one below) is just $75 for a 6 feet. table legs Ikea Lack tables x 4 ? Where to look for taller legs other than in Ikea?

My concern when I looked into LED lightings is the failure of the driver (not the actually LED) will substantially reduce the advantages of LED lights at current price points. I don't have statistics on driver failure rate (to model the costs) but are there manufacturers/sellers who will provide warranty on the LED lights beyond 1 year? My experiences with CFL so far also shows the lights need replacement much earlier than the supposedly longer lifespan.

We used back (ie did not buy) the charger for another local Panasonic Dect set we have (TG2511CXC). The charger for this local set is rated 6.5V but the US Dect set (rated 5.5V) seems to run fine with it. The plug/connector fits nicely (compared to another much older Panasonic phone I still have). Best Denki suggested that we contact Panasonic service center to get chargers. I think I will go to the local HDB electronics repair shop to see if they can replace the capacitor inside instead.

You can buy them off Amazon. Here is the link (there are other models of course). http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-KX-TG7643M-Bluetooth-Cordless-3-Handsets/dp/B004N4HDHM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1358155631&sr=8-1&keywords=KX-TG7643M The lowest price was $69.90 (USD) on Dec 05 which is when I bought mine. If you have not bought from Amazon before, you can try signing up for Vpost (and use their concierge service). However, if you want to buy when it is the lowest price on Amazon, then you can't rely on their concierge service as the low price deals are over within a short time. You will have to use your own Amazon account and ship to (your Vpost account).

Got our Daikin System-4 from PassionAir last year. http://www.passionair.com/ The price was lower (without bargaining), their customer sales was polite and accommodating, and so were their installers. I thought I'll mention it as I picked up PassionAir from this forum too (though it has rather muted presence in this forum). The experience was hassle-free and for good value - which is exactly what we need.

A little giveback to this forum despite the age of this thread (because there is no DECT discussion in this forum surprisingly) The dect phones sold in Singapore and Malaysia are low spec'ed and pricey - when compared to Panasonic dect phones sold in the US. We went ahead to order from US the Panasonic KX-TG7643M DECT 6 LINK-TO-CELL PHONE and to share what we learnt: some say there could be interference in the frequency band of US sets with the wi-fi network at home - what we found out - we are not experts but so far it seems ok (w/o interference)some say the US power adapters rated for 110-120V won't work for Singapore - in general this is true, though some reports claim that the adaptors do work on higher voltage despite their (low voltage) rated values - what we found out - true enough it blows one of the power adapters -smoked! (there are 3 chargers so we were prepared to lose one if not all!) - this dect set runs on 5.5 volts and we used back one of the local Panasonic set chargers (6.5V); we need to go buy 2 more or just charge all three sets on the base station (which is fine!) - someone did some research on the electronic components in the power adapter and said that if the capacitor in the adapter is replaced with a higher voltage rated one, that works too (I have not tried but it could be a cheaper solution) Is it worth the hassle? Yes! The reasons are: Feature: I need headsets on these (primary reason). The US set comes with headsets jack. The local set does not.Price If you buy on Amazon when the price is cheap, you get this set for slightly higher price as a local basic set - but in this case I get headsets jacks, 3 handsets, voice answering/recording and this interesting "link to cell" (where the handsets takes over your cell phones via bluetooth, could be useful for those who use handphone extensively but need the comfort and range of dect )I noticed there is no DECT posting in this forum and I hope this helps for those who is thinking of ordering from US. Will be happy to share further if there are questions.

We like the fact that Ikea kitchen tops are cheap, hardy and rather good looking (for the mid range). It's perfect for a work table! Picture is taken from Ikea Hackers but we did something similar.

We rather like this site!

Dear 'alvy' We need a lot more of facts/details so we can address your case productively. We are wary of competitively posted threads (under the disguise of customer), hence our diligence to get deeper into this matter. We always work with our customers to address their requirements.

Interlock SG Pte Ltd A Singapore Registered Company ****************************************** Dear Customer, Please read the following warranty terms. Your purchase includes a 1 Year FULL warranty which begins on the date of installation. Warranty Exclusions Warranty only covers manufacturing defects. Parts or lock replacements and labour are free ONLY in cases of manufacturing defects NOT self inflicted damage. Some examples of self inflicted damage are - Hard door slamming dislocates the batteries resulting in battery failure. Door closers can avoid hard door slamming. Sudden loss of battery power without the usual week long beeping warning is prima facie evidence of hard door slamming. - Dismantling of the lock by non-qualified installers to attempt entry, re-installations, modifications or repairs - Using substandard batteries or damage caused by battery leaks. We recommend only ENERGIZER alkaline batteries. You should check for battery leaks every six months. Typically, alkaline batteries will not leak under normal storage and usage conditions. However, the potential for leakage is significantly increased if batteries are subjected to charging, mixing of alkaline and non-alkaline batteries, mixing of fresh and used batteries, physical damage, extended exposure to high temperature or deep discharging. Please call 81888629 if you would like to claim warranty. Regards Warranty and Support Specialist Interlock SG Pte Ltd
