cheesecake 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2007 kiat... how come so many lights???i see wrong? how many lights u bought in total?Heh...yeah, alot of lights huh? I only have 6 downlights for my living & dining area. But sometimes, i tink it depends. Cos mine are all 6" & double tubes so already super bright plus mine is cove lightings, inside already 10 fluroscent tubes. But my fluroscent tubes are bot from K. But i hardly on my downlights, usually just the cove lightings...heehee cheese, i still remember you saying, spending so much money on dead protein!! heehee but i agree..... like you said, no choice.... hair is very important to gals.... this is something guys can never understand..... hahahaha!!!for me, i wish i can rebond.... one of the hair stylists i went to told me i shouldnt rebond, cos my hair too "flat".... no "volume" at all.... haiz..... Heh, melody u have a good memory leh. If u cannt rebond, lagi good...no need to spend extra $ rite? My hubby also grumble i spend alot on hair & makeup But i noe u spend on bags rite? Wuhahaha...we all have our own weaknesses Yeah...Chelsea is good...the auntie and uncle very friendly...I got one tube faulty but i didn't bring the faulty that day, the uncle give me a new tube without having me to bring the faulty one. He said just bring down when free... Actually I prefer downlights with thinner frame but chelsea dun hav...but troublesome to get from another shops....so make do with it.... Agree dat Chelsea service is very good I would have bot my downlights from them but a pity they dun have wat i like...I tink i went there at least 4 times b4 i bot 2 standing lights from them But they are very obliging. The auntie can give better prices thou. Tink she's the boss huh...They have quite unique hanging lights. I really like the one with hanging oblong lights in 3s & i find it v pretty cos they r like covered in horizontal black strings..duno how to describe actually can lesser lah...but when we decide that time...always have this type of thinking..."Will it be bright enuff"....haha...even my id say dun need so much....but well....it's like falling into the curse...haha...Install many lights is ok in my opinion...can only on those u wan only Juz dat, have to tink carefully abt the connections cos for mine, once i on my living room downlights, its 4 at one go. I cannot choose to on 2 downlights only...Also realised dat for bedrooms, definitely need a double-tube else really not bright enuf...weird cos i find the bedrooms v small. But i bot double-tube in the end cos the uncle at Lights Arcade calculated the floor area for me when we showed him our floorplan & told us we need double-tubes.Btw, saw a few lights in the mornings at blk 990...got ppl stay there liao??!?!

ivory 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2007 (edited) My lightings all except passageway light are bought from Chelsea Lightings. thumbs up for their service... Downlights fall in !Hey Ah Kiat, what's the size of your downlights? There are at least 3 sizes right? How to decide which size is most suitable?

cheesecake 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2007 cant be leh...those workers issit...6.30am loh...dun tell me its.... !! the u-noe-wat...my hubby say he can even hear loud hokkien songs *gulp*Hey Ah Kiat, what's the size of your downlights? There are at least 3 sizes right? How to decide which size is most suitable?There are 4, 6 & 8 inch downlights. NEVER buy 8". K got a big shock when he saw our 8". He says dats for shopping centres And he's rite...4" area is smaller so 'less' light can penetrate, if u noe wat i mean, I use 6" for all my downlights as i have only 9 downlights for living & dining area. If u have many downlights, 4" would be more suitable. I bot 8" intially & realised too big. Changed all to 6". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
