xarain 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2008 very interesting. Thanks for the feedback. hmm regarding power consumption.. Power Requirement: 100 Volt. Power consumption is 3.5W per square meters when on. My power conversion isnt good hence how does that sound? http://www.switchlite.com/specifications.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applefreak 1 Report post Posted August 25, 2008 since it turns clear when you touch means whenever it is clear it'll consume 3.5W (per hour or per minute?) if it's a full height full wall thing, it's likely to be around 10sqm? should be something like that bah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi If i am not wrong theres still no distributor or agent in Singapore selling this yet. I was interested in the same film few months back and div some research on it. What i manage to find out is a company in KL doing it and they have no intention to cross the causeway to install for anyone. Btw the price is really scary... Let me know if anyone manage to find a company selling that now.. thanks pal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sg got one glass store has it i think, I think its Legardien or something like that they are specialized in making special glass. If you do not want this glass, you can also opt for those glass whereby under different lighting different shade, i think this is cheaper they sell lots of glass, also sell anti fog glass i think...
