E27 LED bulb - use higher wattage than calculated

Bijisss — Tue, 17 Oct 2023 11:15:46 +0800

Dear sifusss,

What will happen if i use higher (slightly) wattage than the calculated wattage for E27 LED bulbs?

For example, in living area - the calculated wattage supposed to be 5W but i mistakenly bought 7W bulb instead.

The difference might not be too high but does it will increase the brightness or the electrical bill?

Hope can get insightful input from the sifus here.

Thank you.

Dual Fittings Floor Trap

Bijisss — Mon, 11 Sep 2023 13:56:13 +0800

Hi,

I plan to install dual-fittings floor trap for washing machine and sink outlet, with anti-odor and insects functionality.

My concerns are:

1. If I use floor trap with anti-odor and insects functionality, does it will impact on the outlet flow in general i.e. overflow as water drain from washing machine usually will be in high volume and high pressure.

2. If I proceed to use dual-fittings floor trap with anti-odor and insects functionality, which type of floor trap is the best self-sealing or long-sealed? (see picture below)

Kitchen Layout for Movement and Access in Kitchen

Bijisss — Sat, 19 Aug 2023 12:04:30 +0800

Hi,

I just wanted to ask opinion and advise on the kitchen layout which I have designed using IKEA planner.

My kitchen layout would typically look like the drawings below, with the actual dimensions of the fridge, washing machine and kitchen hood/hob as per my purchase. I also most probably will add few more elements i.e. wall shelves, wider storage shelves (beside the fridge)

In term of measurements and distance between the different elements, is it ok or practical for my kitchen area?
I am open for any suggestion and improvements.

Thank you.

NOTE:[B]
1. Ceiling height = 3124 mm
2. Hood height from kitchen counter = 750 mm
3. Kitchen cabinet will be done by kc contractor, so the height and depth will be designed according my preference. In the drawing, kc is based on the IKEA Planner. I (i.e. 80x60x80 cm and 60x60x80 cm).
