JB vs SG Lighting

I did a search on the renotalk forum and realised that buying lights from JB is half the price of that in SG. So I forced hubby to go to a shop in Geylang and look at the prices on Fri. When we went into JB on Sat, our aim was to get whatever beautiful lights we could find but at half the price of what we could be buying in SG.

Thanks to my good friend and her Hubby, we managed to get 10 lights – Living Room, Guest Room, MBR, wardrobe, toilets, kitchen, service yard, bomb shelter and passageway at only SG$5XX!!! You will never get this type of price in SG!! But felt really bad towards my gdfriend and her Hubby, made them shop at least 6 hrs non-stop (Yah! I didn't realise we were so fussy buyers!). Even shopped for almost 5 hrs in one of the shops (Tamboi Lighting Centre) and the sales person who attended to us couldn’t take it and asked us for a break and made his colleague take over from him !! haha ..it was quite an amusing sight when he excused himself and said he would take a break. Overall, I felt very satisfied with our findings except for a strenuous afternoon of hunting for the right lights – our necks were so painful from looking upwards for too long! And it wasn’t easy for Hubby and I to agree with the right designs!!

Our only buy from (Top Lamp (Skudai)

Living Room – Free remote control – with LED lights, Yellow Lights and White Light (Bought from Top Lamp (Skudai) at RM$4XX

Our remaining buys are all from Tamboi Lighting Centre

Sorry, no photo available as I have forgotten to take pictures at the shop. Couldn't find any similar photos online either : (

MBR – It was supposed to be all black but we changed some of the crystals to red …aren’t we creative? Bought at RM3XX

Wardrobe – something dim and classy, like those you see in hotels. Bought at RM3X

Guest Room – Wanted a plain circular one but this crystal light is too beautiful and too cheap not to buy … So we just have to buy it and make our guest room having the same concept as our MBR!! Bought at RM1XX

Passageway /Toilets/Kitchen/ Service Yard/ Bomb Shelter – All with black and white glass theme. Bought all at RM3XX

We are now left with the purchase of the dinning room's lights. Will continue our hunt in JB in the next weekend.
