Let there be lights!

We have finally purchased all our lights from Sembawang Lighting House. Initially we wanted to get the cheaper version of lights from taobao/qoo10/tampoi but they did not had the safety mark on the driver. Being the afraid-unable-to-claim-insurance-if-anything-happen couple, we decided to invest a little more into getting lights with the safety mark. Nevertheless, please don't burn our house down. Again like every other part of the renovation, we were taken by surprise by how expensive lights can cost, and how many different variations there are. We have opt for all our lights to be LED so that they can hopefully last longer than the usual fluorescent bulbs. And hopefully use less power too!


All the sperms from the ceiling before the lights were installed. And that is Ah Chong, my electrician who is duh, in charge of all my electrical issues.

Kitchen light and fan is up. I have always been in love with the Vento Fino since the day i chanced upon them online. This is however an Elmark version of the Fino, which is less aesthetic than the Fino, but it is made of plastic, and i figured it would be easier to maintain this than the Fino's wood blades as this is located in the kitchen. Tested the wind and it is damn cool (pun intended). The oscillation was however on the slow side, but i guess everyone will get more wind in some sense.

Let there be lights! Finally we are able to go to our new house at night without having to bring our portable camping latern. We had mounted the projector too, hopefully it is in the right position and distance from the wall. Originally it was planned to be further in front (beside the access panel) but on testing, we realised that the screen was not big enough. It was big at about 100 inch, but not close enough to our desired 150 inch. So we move it back and hopefully it will be just nice without being blocked by our TV console. Shall wait till all the furniture are in and set.

    1. Yup! The electrician will be installing it for us. It is quite similar to the common switches with one live wire and the other wires connected to the lights. However, my electrician is my ID's contractor so i don't have his contacts. So sorry about it!
