Yes, but u need to tell how many DL needed for wiring point. and round or square DL. round DL required lower atleast 6" plaster ceiling
after tat you can search any DL tat u like.

You want have flat board + L Box? Or just L box at corner only.
mine condo is 9.5 feet height. I install the flat board + L box required 10".

3" for flat board, 4" for gap between L-box and flat board for light effect and 3" for L-box height size.

The reason i have 3" plaster board is i wan to hide the air cond copper pipe, no need conceal into wall.
then i can relocate the wiring light point, and u can put the downlight as well. else u only can put downlight at L box only.

refer to jo_da post abv, he have list out how to calculate the cost.

U wan to do so BIG L Box? 70 feet required 18pcs of 4' T5.

Post up ur floor plan...so other member can give more comment.

don't worry. so next time u can learn. else u will con by contractor fr the info they provided only.

Dining hall is kitchen? Else no plaster ceiling at kitchen? Unless u have wall or beam to separate the dining and kitchen?

But based on living 20' long should cover until dining area as well.
U should do L box 12L*15W on living and other simple design at dining.

Added on August 13, 2011, 12:06 amNormally either do L-box light through to hold the T5 or L-box only.
L-box don't have hole gap means don't have dust inside the l-box.

Sometimes we also call l-box as light through but we just tell plaster ceiling guy we wan to put T5, they will know.

For me 5K can do all plaster ceiling including the 1st floor room and all bathroom.
Try to ask another quotation, then u can see the gap.

If T5..must use a lot 2 feet T5.

I just use the normal T8...put inside the l box no ppl can see...so no bother it is slim o not.

I buy GE 4' T8 + ballast = RM10/set...can sure it can last long than T5.
It just like your normal house T8 u using now, how many times u change in year? i think my house did not change it for past 3 year...every day on at night.

In thise case i have 20 T8 then need 20 ballast as well, so the wiring guy need more job compare to T5 come with cable connector.

for kitchen cabinet then i will use T8.

I have both...but look like T8 with ballast will last long....i always replaces the T5 light..tat's why i change some to T8 now. T8 can last long now. maybe due to too many imitation of philips T5 in market?

i try the cheap ballast RM7 now...they recommend me the BEEBEST ballast cost RM10. any way so far so good.

2.50 for flat should reasonable. but L-Box should charge by per FEET!

My bathroom plaster ceiling without manhole access means that no air flow out to outdoor.
If i install the ventilation fan at plaster ceiling to vent warm air/steam/bad smell out of a bathroom into ceiling...any problem?
i know many ppl install into wall or window...but i dont have wiring point there....

Mine is condo bathroom, so there is no way it can suck and flow out to outdoor from ceiling. i just wan to check what will be happen if it blow all the hot air/steam/bad smell inside the plaster ceiling....will the hot air/steam turn back to water and spoil my plaster ceiling like leaking spot later?

I also need to get from the existing light point if i going to install at ceiling.
I saw those design at perfect living b4..cost > rm100 rite?

Added on August 29, 2011, 12:43 amdoes those fan installation like downlight type? open the hole required and connect the wiring then plug in the fan?
cos my bathroom plaster ceiling don't have the manhole access, so i worry it cant install the internal(back) fan part?

ytd i checked at Top Ten they have KDK and Panasonic fan like kitchen type 1...min size is 8". cost < rm100.
wiring part i m not worry cos my wiring guy can install for me...

i m worry the back part of fan cover..example the hole open is 6" then the back part cover is more than 6" then there is no way for me to put inside plaster ceiling, no manhole access there...only my master bathroom have NO manhole access, other 2 bathroom have manhole. My plaster ceiling man say there is no water pipe or cap abv the ceiling, so no need to put manhole...

Just saw uasking the plaster ceiling few week ago...now is completed?
U din ask for other quotation? I think the cost more on wiring point.

How much the living light?

if u find ID sure is expensive than individual contractor. When I say expensive means u need to pay services price to ID....they help u to design and provide u 1stop services....but ppl always say individual contractor also can provide free idea and design...so all is depend what u need.

And to choose main contractor or individual contractor is depend on u.But ppl always think that individual contractor much more cheaper than main con. But in my case I got cheaper price from main con and quit save a lot as well.

Example, if u find individual sub contractor that give u rm 2.30/psf for plaster ceiling...not necessary that the main contractor will top up his price from 2.30. They all know nowadays consumer smart like us like to compare...so maybe he able to get 2.00 from sub con and give us 2.20 or 2.30. Even offer at same price I also can save on other cost as well...like man con may able to help me touch up for free....if break too many sub con...any thing go wrong they will point on each other.

manhole access cost rm150/set? i think rm50/set also consider expensive le

What you all call for this design? any 1 know the price for this?
