Thanks ... Just wonder, how does it look overall ? ( I mean the overall effect , eg. when it switch on light at night. Should look nice with other combination of other the TV )

You need clean it every week?

I can see there is 1" of dust on the shelf.

Very cosy. Light is yellow hued warm white (2700K). If too yellow than there's not too white not too yellow (4000K) or for older folks who cannot stand yellow then the standard blueish cool daylight (6000-6500K). The mobile phone camera doesn't do justice as it will either make it too yellow or too subdued due to white balance adjustment.

All the numbered K are color temperature. Most lightbulb packaging will state what it is. T5 are commonly warm white or cool daylight. Cool white (4000K) which is in between the too yellow or too blueish white is the Goldilocks. Not too yellow, not too blue...just nice. I have yet to come across cool white T5 (4000K) though I am sure they are around.

Planning to cut custom size 3/8" glass shelf to cover since a 110cm can take 5-15kg max according to the instruction manual. The 190 up to 25kg. All these is as long as it is drilled on concrete or clay bricks (not sand bricks).

But the dust still stick to the glass instead the shelf. And when the dust thick enough, that will coverup the lighting brightness too.

Do your room have the ceiling fan? Does the dust flying around?

No it doesn't like crowd over the light. It's just build up around the surface. But better on the glass than on the surface.

Yes. No, it doesn't fly around. It's the rather clumpy kind. Also, it's not 1" thick. It's just covering the surface even after a year.

I also have a small flat with low ceiling, only 500sqf. In process of renovating it also. Now searching for nice minimalist design for lighting. Thanks for all the idea. Will hunt for other idea. Sharing is caring, will post here if i found anything related.

This is my second implementation of the "light shelf". I used it first in my old condo unit with 2x110cm. Only needed 2x28W T5 and a 1x14W T5 to run along the whole length. Ceiling height in the condo was 8.5 ft.

Quite a good idea...prevents the strobing effect too if area small and really need a ceiling fan. Keeping this idea in my head when I get my own place in the future. Thanks

You have nice lighting set. But the ceiling spoil the look.

Need Ceiling FAN suggestion for low ceiling house !

so cham no 1 answer TS..
how low is your ceiling?
installing plaster or not?
my suggestion is to ask the electrical shop for opinion...
got some fans from DEKA if not mistaken for low ceilings..

give you an idea, my ceiling is 9ft2in height, installed plaster becomes <9ft. what i did was created a box in the plaster so that the fan sits on the original ceiling still....

Thanks

this one, I know.... A lot of sample house do this.... I actually thought of doing this.

I bought is an AUCTIONED house. The living room already done plaster ceiling with fan installed.

Ceiling (without plaster ceiling) height is 116", 9 feet 8 inches. But, maybe the beam is low, after plaster ceiling installed. You can almost touch the CEILING FAN if u raise ur hand. (My height 172 - 173 cm).

Thinking to change the CEILING FAN lo...

wow! u must have long hands... LOL!
u r 5'6", and assuming after plaster ur ceiling height is 9', u would still have a gap of 3'6"...
my advise still stands, get your electrician to recommend you a fan with a shorter arm, and if I m not wrong, DEKA has such fans....
good luck!

I am 5' 8", presume after I raise my hand & raise Fingers , an ADDITIONAL 1'8" , so GATHER 7' 4" .

The ceiling fan around 1 foot 5 inches (16' - 17') height


7' 4" + 1' 5" = 8' 9"........... This plaster ceiling <9' , so can touch it lo..

hahaha.. sorry my bad... missed out 2" from your height....
the way i see it you got 2 option, do the box, or get a short fan..
ur choice bro..
good luck

like I said, I do agree with u, the box is beautiful...

BUt, if remove plaster ceiling, then install a new one, quite waste $$ lo.... (I might consider though)

What FAN u pick, mind share ?? Even with ur 9' 2" ceiling, I think a short fan is better lo..

Go for table fan.

Buy KDK baby fan (no need hook)
