apples 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2009 We took pictures for some of the lights we bought, using our phone cam so quality not very good. Here's to share: Dining Room Light (crystal with black casing) MBR Light Downlight Service Balcony Light (the square one) Kitchen light is similar, just that it is rectangular instead of square Bathroom (small white one) Total damage is ~ 1.2k with a ceiling fan.

apples 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2009 ur MBR light is wall light? ain't it a bit dim? i bought the same toilet light No, I got another ceiling light for all the bedrooms. But just did not take the picture .. The toilet light is recommended by the sales person in extreme Show us the pictures for your lights too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ivy 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2009 I didn't take pictures cos I only bought basic lightings for my house. I am going for all downlights to save me money from having to buy pretty lights. Hubby scared of maintenance. initially I want swee swee crystal lights.. now all down the drain liao. I only bought 3x toilet lights, 1 storeroom bulb at $12 and 2 sets of 2x 4ft flourscent lights for kitchen and 1 tiny crystal light for foyer area. the bill add up to $360. will confirm the no. of my downlights and T5 with uncle before adding on. Don't get upset of the price difference. Probably also bcos I went light hunting together with Family of 4 so we bought together and thus maybe that's why the guy give us slightly better pricing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But hor, although each downlight is cheaper. But actually it costs more de, becos you need to factor in the costs of false ceiling or L-Box also. Running costs also more since total wattage is higher (e.g. 4x32w as compared to 1x60w?) But this one is up to each one's preference Not upset la .. just curious about the difference lor. We may be going back to change our fan to kdk one, so don't want to be a carrot again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Come to think of it, it should match a black glass-top table that we saw I think we are also served by George No pics yet becos this morning was rushing for work, will try to take some tonight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard that black glass's maintenance is a killer though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We may be going back to change our fan to kdk one, so don't want to be a carrot again to be is cost savings cos if I were to fix up ceiling light i will opt for false ceiling cos I dun like to see cable on the ceiling linking up the lights. Kitchen/toilet/storeroom bo bian lah so dun wanna splurge on those areas. but living/dining/room i opted for L box so that can run the down lights lor. my hubby scared of having to clean the lights not the paying the electrical bills hahahah. cos he knows i won't clean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wah, must be very nice, but then you need to buy many downlights .. But since the lights are so high up, it should be the guys who clean mah, you mean your hubby wants you to clean? Thanks for checking the price and wattage for me, I feel a bit more relief knowing we did not become "cai tao".. hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really ah? My hubby likes the black glass one a lot leh .. almost every furniture shop also look at them. I prefer the white ones .. there is a simple marble table i saw that costs 2+k, but it is really nice lor. Too bad I got no budget I also saw some nice white lacquer top ones, but I think they will crack or get scratch easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for checking the price and wattage for me, I feel a bit more relief knowing we did not become "cai tao".. hehe not the full L box. It will be one side with cove lights. A suggestion from Jason. No lah he didn't ask me to clean. He knows I won't do it so it will have to be him and he also dun like to do it, so we end up with all downlights so both also dun need to do the things we don't like to do hahahah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
