Hi all,

I am planning my new house and thinking of not doing plaster ceiling but wondering how should the wiring (light, fan aircon etc) being kept.

Have done some searching in Google image and see some ideas but not sure how realistic it is.

Is there anyone here can share some real sample and experience?

Below is one of the photos found in Google image:

if you dont have ceiling fan, then is easy. hide all wiring, ducting on one side.

advantage = your room feel higher = airier
disadvantage = if ceiling not flat/lousy plastering, it will show.

If want to be not so "obvious" use the arc conduit/half moon conduit like this and paint over.

Wow this is a good idea but not sure about the overall brightness if do only one side.

Thanks for sharing!

Are you doing DIY yourself on the routing or done by contractor? I am just afraid my sense of art might make it looks messy biggrin.gif

Then put box up. It's relatively low cost compare to full plaster.
Drawback is, the box up collect dust easily.

Yes good idea!
Can also paint it white
This half moon is easy to dismantle for upgrade and change wiring

Note to ts, pls observe wiring rules if trying to diy ya.

All diy by myself.
At hall there actually only 3 points (lamp, fan, lamp).
Old house electric design.. limited points.. 😂

Since now all using led as light source.. can put more, unlike old fashion tube light..
i have to rewiring and use sonoff 4ch rfpro x2, to control all the light and spotlight.

I scratch plan on paper 1st.. see how the arrangement..
At 1st wanna put extra switch, but 'imagining' the pvc pipe going down to switches... Seems looks 'ugly'.. 😅

This was done on ground floor only coz slab/cement ceiling.
Upstairs no piping.. wires on top ceiling under roof.
