Ben3555 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2007 Hi one and all.. thanks for the good comments and advise... agreed that must check out the smaller retaliers as their price usually cheaper than the bigger outlet.. I have checked out the recommended retailers in the forum as well as my regular outlet.. found the price about the same and so got it from Lucky Store at Transit Road.. I usually get my electrical/electronic stuff from them.. same warrenty/promotion offered by the main agent.. got a nice surprise the other day when I went to pay for the purchased.. The Boss chased after me after payment and told me that samsung having promotion now and I will get a $50 voucher..small amount but it is the service that counts.. really happy with them..Hi...sorry to just spam in..can i ask how big is the PLC light and how much is it? I am looking for PLC now..too...dunno to get 18W*2 or 13w*2?Hi Bubblepearl,, mine is 13w x 2. Got it at $35 each. I think on the high side.. C-stardale lobang better:"shop along veerasamy road blk 637 by the shop name new tai wah or something like tat ...the lights there at supplier price one ..bought my 5inch(something like tat) square plc lights inclusive of transformer and bulbs at $22 when Ch*n H*at selling at $37! "hahah seems like everyone getting the same PLC lights ...hehahh this is the one i am saying abt ...22bux one ...had it with the bluey bulbs one ...very bright loh ...Wow at $22 per piece! I got it at $35.. Just have to pay the price for limited time and energy.. Tks for the lead...totally agree!!

Homeowner 1 Report post Posted April 22, 2007 You pay for good ID services...little details like plastering the walls really makes a difference. Initially, I thought the marks on the walls were caused by the sellers painting the walls themselves. Then, the Self-fix paint manager saw and said that these were original marks left by hdb contractor. So, we left it. Didn't know that you're supposed to plaster the walls smooth...now, it's too late, reno's done. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
