Chunky Monkey 2 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 I always buy my lights from Balestier Rd. Wholesaler. Very cheap about $18. Don't ask me specs, I am clueless on the technicals. The shop name is Chan something something. Red signboard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

endorphin_junkie 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 i went to the jalan besar area to look for downlights and found that they tend to be cheaper than those in balestier. Around $25 for 18W. can't recall the name of the shop but u can walk around the area of kelantan lane. you should find many hardware shops selling housing things. it's supposed to be the place where contractors come to buy stuff.that's why i think that for things that are more "commodity", think that jalan besar is a good choice. if you want better design, then places like lightcraft and areas like balestier would be better.

endorphin_junkie 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 yeah, most of the shops operate the same times as office hours ie mon-fri 10am - 6pm. sat prob only open half-day in the morning... that kinda sux for those people like me that can only do house stuff on the weekends Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
