howlupjac 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2008 Is this just 1 light only? If you are handy with tools, you can swap with another light to see if there is a problem with the ballast, then you will be able to isolate the problem - installation or ballast Hi, Yes its just one light. But its a downlight affixed on a false ceiling at the foyer. and its just one of its kind in the house. Can't test it out and taking it down will mean have to cut it out from the false ceiling...thats why I am in a dilema... Now really regret having done so much false ceiling at home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now really regret having done so much false ceiling at home - 2 take out e dnlite in 1 whole pcs, u du not hav 2 cut e false ceiling. - e dnlite is fastened 2 e false ceiling by 'pins' on both sides in e internal of e dnlite casing. - e dnlite glass casing olso applies e same method, fasten by 'pins' on both sides. - wen there's a nid 2 change e energy saving bulb (eg. warm white, cool white or daylight), jus nid 2 open up e glass casing. 1 side of e glass casing wil stil b hanging (pin stil hooked), 1 side loose (pin not hook), both pins r fixed 2 e internal of e glass casing. Replace bulb, press e pin & insert in2 e correct slot of e dnlite casing, close e glass casing. Dis applies 2 square type of dnlite. - circular type of dnlite is easier, jus nid 2 turn e casing anti-clockwise or clockwise. - w/o casing even easier. Jus like those in our lift lobby. - some dnlites, e light bulb holder is vertical while most r horizontal. - wen e light bulb holder is horizontal, some designs can b tilted, so dat changing of bulb is w/o fuss. - wen there's a nid 2 take dn e dnlite casing. (1) Remove e glass casing. (2) Remove bulbs (3) Release e pins in e dnlite casing, take it dn. (4) off MCB at main switch board 2 play safe, unscrew e (-) small screws dat fasten e wires. - changing of bulb, most ppl can do. But take dn e whole dnlite casing, not every1 noes how 2. - e lightings were recomended by ur ID rite? Jus giv him a frndly call, tel him ur situation frm day 1 (spoilt changed & spoilt again). i belief he'l try solve 4 u. - if not, then u gota call e lighting shop, repeat wat u told ur ID. They definitely gota rectify 4 u. - at e last resort, tel them u willing 2 top-up slightly more 2 change 2 a better internal component. Do not attempt to tamper with any electrical wiring & fittings if u r not sure, esp. wen e main MCB is ON, LIVE current is expose.

I think most of the cabbies would rather like to have their rental fee lower than increase taxi charges, and is their company who implement the charges. Just my humble opinion. From what I know, the rental for the old Nissan cabs was $75 per day, and when the taxi companies started the Toyota Crown cabs, the rental increased to $90. Would you settle for the smaller Nissan rather than the roomier Crown? When not enough taxi drivers in the pool, the taxi companies give out 'free' rental days to the drivers as incentive to lower cost for the drivers, but when recession come around and there are lots of people want to drive taxis, these are taken away as the taxi companies have lots of drivers waiting for taxis. This is what I gather from talking to the taxi uncles during my trips. That is the irony of the taxi industry. Hi, Yes its just one light.

Can't test it out and taking it down will mean have to cut it out from the false ceiling...thats why I am in a dilema... Now really regret having done so much false ceiling at home Well, I'm really glad that I kept it really simple, no downlights! I think what Jacky777 suggests is the right thing to do.

Hi Jacky, U call all of the above also no use,even call your mp also no use cause you know why? The dog got licence, the most is kena warn. Maybe the owner never train the dog properly, like my opposite neighbour monkey. I think dog is more well behaved than monkey (kids). Babymaro2003 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
