Nope, not our contractor. We are getting our new heater from Poh Seng, they will send their contact to install at a separate installation fee paid direct to the contact.

Here are some photos of photos with curtains closed or at night. For now, don't have time to retake the photos. So sorry.

House is pitch dark when curtains are fully drawn. Light is sufficient for us to work on our laptops at the dining area at night.

Good thing about using track lights is you can always add or remove to cater to your own needs. You can use 6 instead of 4 per row if you find our layout too dark.

or you can refer to this post for the photos taken at night. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/topic/65217-brick-wall-by-the-floor-5rm-bto-sengkang/?p=882758

Hope this helps.

Hi Nickguthe, how you find the brightness of the 7w? and the angle of light? it is about 27 degree or higher at 35 degree?

It's the most suitable for us. We decided on 7w after testing 3w, 7w and 12w, process posted here and here. Sorry, we are not sure about the angle, we just adjust and rotate each light until we think it is ok.

Hi Nick,

Sorry to bother you again.

Where did you buy the power box for your tracks? I'm not sure what it is called. The wiring you install to connect your tracks and power source.

Thanks.

So sorry temp2escape, didn't really understand your question.

Once the track is connected to the lighting point. LED track lights can be attached to the track. We did not buy anything else for the wiring.

Or you are referring to the "driver" in LED lighting? Each LED light already has a driver on its own. Don't need to buy.

Unless you are referring to our light testing device below (the plug until the crocodile clips without the track). That is purely for testing, light installation does not require that. From Taobao : http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z2c.6792737.991222533.3.Tu2IDN&id=27470436519&mt=0

Thank you for all the helpful links on your thread.

I am wondering if you can feel any heat emitting from led spotlights bought from taobao.

Nope we did not buy something like that. But it does look somewhat like the connector we bought for joining 2 tracks

(connectors comes in 90 degrees or 180 degrees)

"接头" in this same link as the tracks: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.9.210.DsqQRy&id=19079710705&_u=e1q6ekj899fc

The tracks are powered by the linking the wires to the lighting points provided or linking the wires to the conduits that hides the electrical wiring.

Thanks! 112 sqm. I believe it is the normal 5 Rm BTO size. Maybe the camera lens did the trick to make everything look more spacious than it really is.

Freelance ID: Interior Kit

Contractor: Jake of ZL Construction

Both great experience. Entire reno was smooth. ID + Reno was about 48k. Will leave a separate PM for the contacts,

Thank you for all the helpful links on your thread.

Nope. No heat.

Last weekend we changed out the Bennington C600 multipoint instant water heater and replaced it with this Joven 25L storage heater. So glad we did. Water pressure is stronger and larger now. Heat is also consistent. The difference can definitely be felt.

However, unlike the C600, this new storage heater is huge and conspicuous.

Is the Bennington C600 really that bad? I think the experience is all subjective. Both of us got used to the strong water pressure of storage heater at our previous place before we moved in. So relatively, the instant heater was rather disappointing. And now that we have tried both, we still prefer the powerful shower that this storage heater can provide. More shiok.

Just an additional reference for those who are considering between the two types of heater, C600 cannot really support 2 showers at the same time. With our new 25L storage heater, two showers can now be used at the same time.

I am very unlucky.

1. I bought the spotlights, connectors and tracks but the tracks were not included when it arrives. They forgot?

2. The pendant lamp is uneven. Can see clearly when put on flat surface like floor.

3. The standing light is very good looking but the light bulb shattered into pieces upon arrival.
