BTW, to share with you all I have oso bought my lwhole house lightings from Extreme tis afternoon...spent $680.00 in total....bot 17 downlights, 2 toilets light, 2 kitchen lights and 1 bedroom light. The lights I bought is those super simple type...tomoro on leave will go & shop for WC+sink+tap le....cheers! No worries gerl, just glad that everything is resolved. Wah!! U went there also arh? That guy George is a nice guy hor? Hehehe... Show us ur lights soon k? hehe.. I bought those 2x13W ones at $19 each! Was thinking of whether to top up $3 for better bulbs & ballast. But George told us that those that he gave are good enough ones, & dun need to waste $$. Hehehe.. But just a note to everyone else, the lights at Extreme are rather limited. Very good deal if you wana buy downlights or simple lights though. Edited March 2, 2009 by Angel81 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chronograph 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 Wow neighbor, your reno really fast. As for the awning, yours already done up. Imagine spider man at work when they installed mine. Dancing along the edge, 14th stories high man. Your lighting looks familiar, agreed that extreme lighting has got limited design. But their pricing is by far one of the reasonable one. Post more pics once it is completed ya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zonkkie 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 Hey Angel, sorry, me slow.... I am interested to get a bedframe similar to yours, can share where you got it from? (apologies if you already shared earlier but your blog becoming a lot of pages) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angel81 1 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Nice lights! The door bell they give is the National one? Tried it already, a nice simple Ding Dong~ Hee.. Thanks! Yupz, it's the National one. George asked me to choose 1 out of the 3. I chose National, cuz the design looks the nicest. Haha, then he told me that it's the most x one. I was actually looking forward to some door bells with interesting music, etc. But he said it's the simple ding dong one. Hehehe.. Wow neighbor, your reno really fast.

Yah, it's really fast! Hopefully they'll be able to handover earlier or at least on time. Yeah, the awning was done up by the owner. So saved $$ on that loh. To do up the awning is very scary loh! U know, when the air con guys came to install my compressor, they did not have any safety harness at all. AND, they wore slippers to work. I was like sooooo scared for them. Hee... It was design vs pricing. And obviously, pricing won. Did they tell you what brand they provide for the tube & ballast? Hee... I can't rem the brand liao. It's those normal ones, but energy saving as well. But I know it's not Philips or Osram ones. Those we'll have to add extra $1 per bulb. If you're concern about the tubes & ballast, upgrade them by adding $3 to the price. $1 each for the 2 bulbs and a better ballast. It'll be $22 per downlight then. Still a good deal. But George, the sales person, told us that we don't need to do that. If you really wana know, I'll check for you the brand when the lights are delivered on Wed? Hey Angel, sorry, me slow.... I am interested to get a bedframe similar to yours, can share where you got it from? (apologies if you already shared earlier but your blog becoming a lot of pages) Yoz, no worries. I actually didn't share that in the blog. I got it from Red Apple, IMM branch. The price was $850nett after some bargaining. We saw other similar ones at a beds/mattress shop along Henderson Road. You may wish to check out there as well. Quite good prices and got afew nice selections. Edited March 2, 2009 by Angel81 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know what u mean, after the comments about Red Apple from other forumners. Just hope that we'll be one of the lucky few who won't have any trouble from them. *pray pray* We did tink of going back to Henderson Rd, but since the price and design were similar, decided against it to save time. U know where Scanteak and Oriental Handicraft are? It's along that street. The shop is actually a wholesales, so they may not open all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really can't rem where the ballast is from (running around looking at the lights when my hb was talking to George abt the ballast/bulbs ). But I know that we didn't get the osram bulbs, as we'll need to top up $2 for that. Budget budget budget.. Just hope that we made the right choice by not topping up bah. He kept telling us that there's no need to & that his own house uses the normal energy saving bulbs. haha waiting excitedly! must load up with pictures for us to see see!
