vineyard 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2007 Hi ALL , A very good evening to all .JUS need to WARN everyone out there, theres a lighting shop called STRASS LIGHTING BALESTIER. They are CHEATS!!. We bought our lightings from them less a month ago, n its starting to blow. Kitchen one gone, Living two gone. Thats not it. When we bought PLC lights, we were told that if not bright enough ,can change. But that tall guy wont change for us. Never mind that ,they are LOUSY and INFERIOR quality. DONT SAY I DIDNT WARN EVERYONE. We now have to spend extra money trying to replace those blown ones. We had heated argument with that owner but no use. We consumers in Spore always end up being losers unless we are lucky to find a good lighting shop.1st, thanks for the information, it should be very helpful to many pple. 2nd, to make a light its very easy, to last, it not so easy. since you already got what was installed by these idiots, pls check all the ratings (ballast, starter, and more importantly lamp) and make sure they match, you may need to check up a few webstes (esp. phillips) or consider changing the whole set to electronic balllast including lamp (minus the starter as e.ballast dont need starter). it might be a blessing in disgust if you can change all to the correct rating. PS: lamp is not cheap, electricity is worst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JS21 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2007 I'll be painting on Saturday..probably will look and smell horrible. Anyone wants to meet me? Ok, just kidding. I've got a question to ask about acid washing. My contract states acid washing, but I've been highlighted a few times that the acid wash might spoil my marble and timber flooring. Is that true? My friend told me the effect of the acid might not be seen immediately, but the detrimental effects of the acid wash on the marble flooring might show up later.I've checked with my contractor before, he said the acid is very mild acid, just enough to suck out the dirt, which cannot be suck up easily by normal wahsing. (At least that's the impresion he gave). So, should I still go ahead with the acid washing, or is it possible for me to do the washing myself, and save the $180 he's charging?

JS21 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2007 Also, another question on the concealed electrical point for my wall fans. The electrician idea of concealing is to plug the pinhead on my existing point and conceal from there. He wants to charge $80 for each concealment.My husband wants him to create a new switchpoint specially for the fan just beside the wall fan. The electrician said it's not possible to create a switch point so high up, just beside the wall fan. And he said if we want a new switch point, he has to charge more than $80.Who is correct? My husband said the electrician idea of concealing our wall fan switch is very stupid. Haiz, today supposed to do the electrical works, now it's delayed again.

JS21 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2007 and watch out for those electrical air-port that boils water when temp. is down, if you plug in 24hrs = $$$ gone...Not only waste electricity, I heard that this person's electrical airport never use for days, the water inside kept reboiling and reboiling, they didn't bother to off the switch, and the water turned black! Anyone wants to do this experiment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haiz, today supposed to do the electrical works, now it's delayed again.Erm, concealing wires is against HDB's regulations hor...Your contractor is probably trying to play safe and not tamper with the original switchpoint provided by HDB; but it would be very ugly lor. Imagine the pinhead and wire on the switchpoint, then the wire suddenly disappear into the wall.Lastly, is there any beam at the top where you want the switchpoint to be? If so then maybe cannot hack lor, so cannot put there. But if there is no beam, then I think its just an excuse for him to be lazy lah; it very tedious to hack a line to conceal the wire, somemore so high up.
