Lightings: Louis Poulsen anti-glare luminaire [Installed]

Its been too long since our last post.

We had finally complete our renov & finally set up our broadband.

This post will talk about the 2 previously featured lighting we had ordered and been installed.

In our dining area, Louis Poulsen Artichoke is a glare-free luminaire by Poul Henningsen.

Also in the photo, A Vintage 1963 Hille Chair upholstered in Chocolate Brown Canvas.

Sadly, Hille had discontinue this collection & shift their market focus to making auditorium seating & our standard school chairs. 

In master bedroom, a ultra-retro Louis Poulsen Snowball is a glare-free luminaire by Poul Henningsen. Many could have mistaken this as a Verner Panton as its frequently paired with Panton seating & wall decor. Truth is, Verner Panton did design something similar

The coincidental thing is my mum actually got us a cheap bed sheet set that had a picture of the lamp in it. She some how has the ability to foresee how my bedroom will look like.

Email ad_B_H@yahoo.com.sg for purchase of the above lamps.

Yale Digital Lock Year-end promo till 26/12/10

When it comes to gadgets, we are definitely not early adapters. Also being the first to use the products will be the most expensive and some products may have some flaws which will then be fine tune to perfection in later batches.

Yale had launch its Digital lock ard 2-3years back, & the Biometric models are launch recently.
However, this biometric system seems very much different from the first few biometric locks in market where it "photo-copy" type technology. Yale on the other hand, is using swipe technology which is very much like Miss Piggy's Fujitsu laptop. this is neater looking & dealers says its more accurate cos it reads 'Textures' instead of taking photos.

I think benefits of having a Digital lock are:

Self Locking - good for those of us that always forget to lock the door, 
[eg: halfway to work and you wonder if you had actually lock you doors?]

No Key for Security - super relevant to those who loves to loose keys, either misplace at home or drop in somewhere outside, or even worst, left it at the letter box!! After that when you go back, the bunch of keys are GONE!!! then you can't sleep that night cos you wonder if the person who pick up will come and open your door.

No Key for Convenience - say if we go for a swim or visit the gym, we don't have to bring our keys along. Or when your family is visiting, we do not have to give them the spare keys cos we can just sms them the password, which we can change easily.


Currently, Yale is having Buy 1 get 1* Free promo, when you buy a Large model you get a Small model for free. We can either install the large one on our main door and the small one for the master room. If not, we can install in our parents place. Or even better sell it on ebay @ $500 or $600. Do take the opportunity to upgrade your home security.
