lightings @ balestier road

*back dated entry*

one of the things that you will need to buy in bulk will be lighting.... for a new flats, you will need about 10 lights of varying sizes depending on the unit size..... my mama actually went around almost the whole of SG to scout for lights last year when she renovated the home & her conclusion is that Balestier road has the most number of lighting stores.... she recommends 2 stores based on the variety of lights available & reasonable prices = chan huat & lighting centre

1. chan huat
343/343A Balestier road, S(329775)
Tel: 6256 1141

bus stop at - after pegu road

 
we took bus 145 from bugis mrt station & drop off at the stop - after pegu road.... the bus stop is at this 333 bak kut teh shop.... once you get off the bus, turn right & walk in front, cross the small road, walk another 20m or so & you will reach the shop

chan huat store at level 1

lighting at second floor

this store has 2 levels, ground floor it sells accessories like bulbs, led panels & etc.... the lighting is on second floor.... since i cant take photo inside the store, i cant post photos here.... I would say the store really has quite a large variety of lights... i go for simple lighting so average price will be $100/piece (including LED panel) which i think is quite a reasonable price.... the store also does free delivery for purchase above $600

2. lighting centre
400 Balestier Road, #01-28/38 Balestier Plaza, S(329802)
Tel: 6560 5300

another big lighting store in the area which is actually located opposite of chan huat....

lighting centre, view from chan huat

pioneer bak kut teh

after you came out from chan huat, in front of you will be the pioneer bak kut teh store... there is a bridge just outside the store, cross over & you will reach lighting centre

entrance to lighting centre

lighting centre also has a wide variety of lights but personally i prefer chan huat designs.... after looking through the whole store, i only like one of the lights.... but this store sell swaroski lights so if you want fancy lighting, this is the place for you...


of cause there are many lighting stores along balestier road, do check out several stores before you make your decision.... my personally observation is that for those stores located on level one, they tend to sell lighting at a higher price, probably due to higher rental.... so do visit stores on higher levels & you may be pleasantly surprise =)
