Less flicker and so better for eyes. But less bright would be worse for eyes. Effectively no difference then?

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!

:spank: :spank:

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?

Isn't T5 fluorescent light?

I Thot so too but the guy at Philips showed me a linear slim looking tube like lights which they said is led n brighter n better than traditional fl.

Must, must really do something about this wasteful trend... its time.

Why don't you just install a sensor tap..... save the trouble..[/quote]I always thought sensor tap runs on electricity?

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.

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...

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks, Funz and Nebbermind. :celebrate:

I meant the cone shape that looks like halogen, this LED bulb design is for replacing the conventional halogen bulbs.

So LED lights good for eyes. Is it more energy-saving than energy saving lights?

Technically on paper yes lah.. the other time I went to a philips showroom at geylang they also something like 17W LED is as bright as 22W CFL or something like that..

but some folks here feedback that LED of same wattage is less bright.... so.. YMMV lor..

But one thing thou.. LED bulbs are quite directional.. i.e. like a torchlight, they beam forward, unlike CFL which by design can be almost 360deg all round.

So in term of lighting up a big area like a room, the LED may create the impression that it is \"less bright\". But it may in fact be brighter in the area that the beam is targeted at.. so some skillful positioning and orientation maybe recommended. I suspect only lah..
