Psst BM, if you reveal how much you're spending on PUB bills, the consequence will be that everyone else here will immediately think that they're being very thrifty liao. Haha!Busymom:
Less flicker and so better for eyes. But less bright would be worse for eyes. Effectively no difference then?
But I'm no where near $1000 wat :imanangel: -

LED runs on DC. The lamp fixture will contain the necessary electronics to convert the AC to DC. The illumination is constant, it does not flicker.limlim:
[quote=\"atrecord\"]LED confirmed not as bright if talking about the same wattage. But it is supposed to last much much longer, although it is like 3 times as expensive. It is also supposed to be better for the eyes as there's something that's more constant although I can't remember it now -- saw this 'dunno-what' meter at those light shops when I went scouting for lights when renovating the house. The meter kinda showed LED doesn't flicker much c.f. with conventional lights and therefore protect the eyes more.
FL runs on AC. The light actually turn ON/OFF 50 times a second, same as the frequency of the household power supply. Hence it flickers.
Some flick-free lamp actually contains some electronics to increase the frequency to much higher, so that it doesn't affect the eyes as much.
Still, nothing beats LED when it come to flicker-free illumination..
So, Harlequin, another reason to do your part for the environment.. :evil:
May I know which kind of led is good for reading lights that look like a tube fixed on the upper hung cabinet above the table? I have been introduced to T5 and there are china made and us made. Is there difference between the two made besides the price?[/quote]Isn't T5 fluorescent light? -

Why don't you just install a sensor tap..... save the trouble..[/quote]I always thought sensor tap runs on electricity?Harlequin:
[quote=\"Nihauma\"]Harlequin
on earth hour please turn off electricity at your house. It will do more good rhaan all of us combined.
:torchme: ya boi... feel so bad... I for one that never leave tap running while soaping, brushing teeth, or even hand washing I would not turn on the tap until I am ready to rinse.... If dds/dh caught wasting water they will get :spank: from me.
Must, must really do something about this wasteful trend... its time. -

This charge is new to me. What happens if I split a bathroom into two units (side by side, one just the shower and vanity top, the other side WC and a sink), would I have to pay for 2 toilets or 1 toilet?
Confirmed can tell PUB not to charge: we had asked the developer not to fit in the sanitary appliances in one toilet (for junior master rm) when we bought it, so as to convert to a study room. When we moved in and received the first bill that charged that toilet, i called PUB to inform them and they removed it. But it's only i think $2.50 per month...straffan23:
Actually, one can apply for a waiver for toilets that are being closed up. A friend did this when converted the common toilet to a store room.
Hmm... I am curious as to what's eating up the electricity (or is it water?) at this big place of yours, Auntie Herqulin. -

Yes, it runs on electricity 24/7, and is high maintenance, the censor loses its effectiveness over time, was told its not suitable for house hold.
It's good to start young to discipline and cultivate the life long good habit of not wasting our precious water. -

LED halogen bulb?
One LED halogen bulb is $60+, downlight bulb is $30+.... omg, I must go count how many lights is there... -
Nebbermind:
Ya boi.... I read about that one. What you mentioned is indeed widely known for that hairstyle.... but you are smart enough to ignore it, not to satisfy people with this type of strange 'trait'.... I still have a lot to learn.
I think some people are just too serious and forgot this is more like a TCSS section, like can't even tease about a certain haircut without some forummers sounding really upset.Funz:
Haiyoh, you all trying to conserve energy to lower PUB bill until reduce shower and never turn on aircon in this hot weather so all getting heated up oredi issit?
Chill lah.
Thanks, Funz and Nebbermind. :celebrate:
