marcel 22 Report post Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Now my kitchen partition walls are all up. Hopefully the walls will frame up my cabinets nicely. Honesty speaking till now I have not idea which colour scheme I should go when the counter top I opt for is 'India Black granite'. I am toying with the idea of Grey. Any suggestion? Personally I prefer 'Kashmir White'. Maybe I will ask Big A how much is the difference. Edited February 23, 2014 by marcel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marcel 22 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) OSRAM LEDCOMFO: Chinese or branded LED downlight? I was contemplating for a long time. Finally I decided to go with OSRAM although it was assembled in China. Reasons OSRAM manufacture her own LED Die OSRAM don't use cheap LED driver OSRAM has better QC. Most if all is only $24.73ea for a 9W before shipping. To play SAVE I brought 2 units to test and realised they were excellence. The build was good and it don't feel nor look cheap. Only feel warm in my hands (Prove of efficiency). The light was very comfortable to the eyes. (Natural). Another order for 24x was just placed.
