bought a ceiling fan from the kdk distributor in jb. 40% cheaper. the shop fella asked if i stayed in hdb to make sure i bought a model with the right shaft length, to avoid a beheading.

 

beheading is too strong a word, maybe concussion. [dizzy] . , and a very bad one [laugh]

The LED lights in JB are not cheap. I visited a few light shops in JB. Some online LED light stores in Singapore have lower prices and better quality than those in JB.

It's not available in JB. y u want crestar. it's only good looking.

 

It's like whether u want a toyota for ur fan, or u want a cute renault/peugeot [laugh]

 

Crestar design looks good and I heard from the local shops its more durable than Fanco.

 

I will go and see and try for myself. Need the fan with bright lighting too.

 

Ceiling fan is not like other electrical appliances (TV, washing machines, toaster,..etc) which can change by ourselves easily. Usually once installed wont change for the next 10 years.

I remember my friend commenting on crestar saying hers had some problem from 4th year onwards. Still operational but only at some fan speeds.

I guess most fans will be fine for a few years.

ya my general impression is that crestar is more durable than fanco

Fan is extremely hot if you leave it on most of the time. Even car also need servicing after certain mileage but a fan recieves none...perhaps a couple of dusting.

 

About 4 to 5 years and certain speed will be out of order. This is especially so when you are always on higher speed like 2 or 3...1 will kaput. Like what they say with electrical items; you don't use it often, it will up lorry.

I thought crestar motor is lifetime warranty and if fan speed becomes weak after some time, they can do repair on it.

I bought lights in JB. Philips LED are 30-50% cheaper than in SG. Those T5s are a mere fraction of what you will pay in Sg.

 

Ceiling fans thou you have to be cautious. take note of the height. I made the mistake, end up i bought another fan from Sg, but i manged to sell the fan off at cost.

trading1.sg

sea shipping is now $190 per m3

this is basically $0.95 per vkg

 

still more expensive if you know how to ship using taobao sea shippers

they charge i think $0.60 per vkg
