armani 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2008 perhaps the electrical wires in ur lights are thinner? i.e. not suppose to be used for such power rating. My electrician has actually used wires for downlight for my heater and my wires actually melted. that's just my guessing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deepakvali 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2008 doubt its the thin wires that give rise to the damaged ballast but on the same topic, we had wires being fused together for my Halogen Downlights too, the ELCB only trips when the wires reach a certain temperature where the insulation starts to soften and looses its insulative properties. why it happens, hahaha....partly my fault and partly contractor's. we had sound insulation (fire proof) fibres packed in our false ceiling and l-boxes as we didnt want it to be a source for sound resonance, in the end, the wires were so close to the light housing such that it heats up when the lights are on, however i doubt this anomaly is anywhere like what khriz problem. the contractor should have ensured the wires are away from the light housing while ensuring the sound insulation fibres are in place, anyway thats history leow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zirhk3355 1 Report post Posted November 18, 2008 Ok, got news for you all! Managed to argue/fight/whine/cry/etc for our COP session, and finally we will be having a briefing on: Date: 28 Nov 2008, Friday Time: 8:00pm Location: Blk 46-1 Commonwealth Drive, RC Centre (on top of THUM!) There will not be any patrolling on that day, just a briefing by the police on how we should conduct COP sessions. Thereafter, we can always organise our own COP patrol sessions, as and when we like! The police will also be telling us about a new programme that will get us more involved in community security and TERRORISM - *whistle* mai siao siao! I also first time heard about this...haha! Lastly, the RC is keen to expand the 'purpose' of this COP thingy; we want it to involve not only security, but also hygiene, maintenance, etc. So other than police, we will also go ka-jiao other agencies like NEA, Town Council, HDB, LTA, etc. The chairman said this is the reason (or excuse?) why this COP session drag so long lor... So those who had emailed/pm-ed me, all onz ah? Come for the briefing ok?? =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
