Hi All,
I'm new lessee to GWF and about to move in very soon.  I bought 3 philips 慳電膽 today for the living room and 2 bedrooms.  Unfortunately, it only works for 1 bedroom, but not the other and the living room.  WASTE $$$!!

Actually, I already read through the similar topics of '慳電膽' in this forum but still cannot find the answer.  Some mentioned about Megaman Dimmerable (not DoS) but no one actually confirms whether it is working or not.  I also checked out megaman's website, it looks like 'Dimmerable' series does work with 'adjustable switch' but the products they have are all for 'screw-head', not the 'nail-head' (i.e. 釘頭) as required in GWF.  I already wasted too much $$ on Philips 慳電膽.  If any has ever tried megaman dimmerable series and it works in your home, pls reply me.  Thanks a million.

As said, it's a rental apartment and I have limited buget for the decoration.  That's why I don't want to go for fancy lighting but a simple 'ball-shaped' 慳電膽.

i use all 慳電膽' in my house, only sitting room use  曼佳美 because of the home    automation system.if you are not use 曼佳美 in the sitting room or dining room.     you will see '斬斬下" when you off all lights in the mid-night. l bought it very cheap
in Tusen Wan lower $40.00/each.  After using all 慳電膽' , l save more money . l    need to pay around $450.00 each bill in the past (it's including to cook with 電池爐)

Can you tell me where you bought the 曼佳美 慳電膽 , is it the one which is dimmerable? It's quite expensive, I saw in
pricrite before which cost around $100 per lamp.

Hi Mandy,
Glad to know you can use 曼佳美慳電膽 in your house.  Is it the 'dimmerable'? How much it costs? My flat is 'special' unit, all rooms are using the 'adjustable lighting' (i.e.  home automation system).  If it really works for 曼佳美慳電膽, I definitely will buy as it saves lots of $$$.  That would be a GREAT NEWS !!!

Your prompt reply is highly appreciated.  Thx. :-D

BTW, where did you buy 曼佳美慳電膽 with nail-head (i.e. 钉头)? How come I can only find 'screw-head' in shops? Pls advise.

Hi Chi_hk & talktolam

First of all, the problems are affrective on home automation system only.  Please note I use Megaman Candlelight type code:CL407CS/TP; it w/o Dimming Function... but it works well.  Have try other brands which keep flesh when turn off the light.
Althrough I brought it in Tsuen Wan... remember that also available in Park'n shop/Wellcome that cost below $50/each.

Dear All,

BTW, You may call Cypress System (Tel:25303784) to assists on programming the dimming function upon receipt the new light bulbs.

Mandy

Dear Samson:

What is te Cypress system, does it cost and how much it is?

This is GW home automation system service provider; we already pay the maintenance.
