The shop is quite small so not many items are on display. However, if you already know what you want, then just go ask for a quotation from them. I got all my air conds there, and will be getting the other electrical appliances there too.Speaking about ceiling fans, I think the main reason you are seeing flickers and shadows when you turn on the fan is because Alpha fan rods are too long. I think if the distance from ceiling to fan blades is reduced, the chances of flickering will be reduced as well. I plan to get the Panasonic Nami Jr. fans as it has a relatively short ceiling-to-blade distance. Hopefully it will work well |

However, it has no problem with my guest room which im using energy saving downlights. One more thing, as i have 2 bedrooms to be compared side by side, I actually love the ambience from the energy bulb projection more. I find its light projection is more beautiful and softer to the eyes. Since you are using the same downlights, i agree that you shud get fans with shorter rods. Are the panasonic fans you bought with abs blades? |

Unfortunately I can't find the information on Panasonic website, and many places are not selling. Maybe it has already been discontinued Good point about the ambience effect. What color temperature did you choose? I'm going to install 4000K down lights (temperature, not quantity |

I heard from the sellers said panasonic with ABS blades is all above rm500...
The LED lights im using is 3000k in color temperature. My energy downlights not sure how many k but just warm white... projected horizontally (to minimise plaster ceiling drop-down) with YET Plus fitting. |

QUOTE(maxxon @ Dec 22 2013, 04:59 AM) FYI, all electrical appliances (except TV) are going to have a price hike from 1st Jan. Gonna share with you some items that I've bought recently:- how the fridge perform?Fridge- Bought the Toshiba's 700L fridge @RM2500. Harvey Norman is selling at RM 3099. Chose this 700L over the 650L as the difference is only rm250. I'm getting the big ones here as I've inherited my mum's habit of storing most dried cooking ingredients in the fridge. Bigger space means easier organizing. The picture below is a 650L Toshiba that I took some times back. ![]() Fans- i) Fanco fan @RM350, swivel positioning by manual only. (No budget for the pricey NSB vento fan which is around rm13++). ![]() ii) Deka baby fan in black @RM188. ![]() iii) Alpha E-Light 5 blades fan with emergency light, 4 speeds @RM360. iv) Alpha 828 5 blades fan, 4 speeds, @RM265. ![]() v) Alpha Q28 5 blades fan, design same as 828 but with 5 speeds and reverse mechanism for natural wind function. @RM300. vi) Alpha Axon 1 360 degree swirl fan, 5 speeds, @RM499. ![]() Note: The sales guy from the shop which I bought the fridge said he will reckon Alpha's fan over KDK and Deka (I had already bought all my fans before knowing him and their shop sells Deka, KDK, Panasonic and Alpha). According to him, KDK (also the OEM for Panasonic fan) has various complains from customers for unstable swinging. Air conditioning- Bought all Mitsubishi brand (Mitsubishi Electric) as following: - 3 units of 1.0HP, plasma, i-see sensor @RM1100 ea. - 1 unit of 2.5HP, standard (plasma only available for 1.0 & 1.5HP), @RM2100 ea. - 1 unit of 2.5HP cassette air-cond @RM2800 ea. Note: 1) All above are non-inverter and price exclude installation as my main con will do it. 2) All Mitsubishi air-cond has increased in price. The shop agreed to grant me the old price as I brought the quotation they gave me before the increment. 3) The original warranty is 2 years on interior unit & 7 years on compressor. I've bought the additional 3 years warranty extension for the following: - RM135 for 1.0HP (1 extension can use for all 3 units of my 1.0 HP as they do not track the serial number). - RM175 for 2.5HP cassette air-cond. |

but it's worth to buy this fridge, a normal plain looking fridge of this size is about 1800-1900.
i just wished the color is not so dark. something lighter will be as nice. |

Nope, the main reason are the lights above fan.

QUOTE(supersound @ Apr 14 2014, 04:12 PM) I really don't want to argue with you, but it is basic trigonometry. The lights are NOT on top of the fan. However, because the light has a projection that is greater than 90 degrees, it can be affected by the fan. The longer the distance between the ceiling and blades, the further your light needs to be placed.I'm lazy to draw a diagram for you, but if you study hard enough during your school days you will understand. |

You may draw the diagram to further wow me on this Just because I never put the term "level", you no need to use trigonometry to boast around. This is nothing to do with trigonometry. Must know where and when to use a concept or a law |

QUOTE(supersound @ Apr 14 2014, 04:30 PM) So want to boast about trigonometry to wow me In this case i must agree with mrgoodgood on the degree of projection. As we know light projects and travels in straight line and LED lights especially have a stronger projection intensity and specific projection degree. (Eg. eyeball spot light has very narrow projection degree). Normal downlight is not so specific with such projection degree and that's why i said the light is softer or less intensed.You may draw the diagram to further wow me on this Just because I never put the term "level", you no need to use trigonometry to boast around. This is nothing to do with trigonometry. Must know where and when to use a concept or a law As such if we use these led downlights, we should either move the light further away from the fan blades or use a shorter fan rod so that to avoid the wide projection 'kena' the blades causing shadow flickering (provided the rod is short enough for that certain degree the lights has)... So, longer the rod, easier to 'kena' the light projection. I know you will say avoid led downlights... but that's still personal choice, as nothing is perfect and each has got its strength and weakness. Although led downlights with more intensed projection but the flickering can be avoided by method suggested. That's one of the benefit of this forum that we learn from people's experience and we find a way to avoid errors... |
