But the black is opaque rite? thats the kind im looking for and that will suit my concept.. If its those like crystal, then I tink it is actually tinted glass but not really good also as it still wont be shiny..you're wrong liao. i've 3 crystal chandeliers at home and the crystal balls are shiny. esp when there're lights and sunlight, the shine will reflect on my wall then you can see rainbow colors. crystal are kinda like transparent but the black one are notya, crystal is a bit transparent but the black is absolutely not at all.

countrylover 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 I recently bought three chandeliers from ebay US. Compared to what I see in Balestier, they are so much cheaper. The only issue is, you need to get your electrician to convert the voltage, as US uses 120v while S'pore uses 240v. If you are looking for cost savings and don't mind the extra trouble to buy from overseas, you might want to consider this option. You can check out my t-blog to see what I've purchased from US.
