● The damage should be properly assesed from inside the Pop ceiling through the man hole.
If the Fillas that was used to hold the ^area of damage^ is broken, the damaged area should be slightly cut out and replaced with another fillas (if extent of damage is large, a casted board should be used too) to strengthen that area again, and a final dressing on the outside, if the fillas on the inside is not affected, then Dressing/screeding (Topbond & screeding paint involved) would do.
He fell from the inside.. I have contacted my pop guy, he said he will go and check it out to know the extent of the damage and see what will be done... Thanks so much for your assistance...

Since you already knew that the cost is high, why asking for review?

Would you accept any review that says that the cost is low or moderate?

Wow, madam. Do you consider the cost of generator, inverter KVA that will run total consumption of your energy per day, even PHCN? Please leave these discussions for professionals, they have the knowledge and standards they use to determine how a size of room should be bright. No vex ooo, how many bulbs do you intend to use for the entire building? Let even try little math of energy consumption. Let say you have generators of 15 KVa running on 3liters per hour at the rate of diesel 250x 3 = 750 per hour x 8 hours daily = 6k per day. This is not 24 hours. My opinion sha ooo. This just on conservative estimates

3 watts x 24 lighting points is just 72 watts
6 watts x 24 lighting points is 144 watts

How many square meters is your parlor?

Then you should be using 1.5 x 42 = 63 watts going by the extract of the article I posted above

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by GloriousGbola: 5:13pm On Mar 21, 2023
What you want is a proper lighting simulation

Keep in mind the level of lighting for a home is not supposed to be above 50 lux. Lighting for an office is 400 to 500 lux

Also your home lighting is supposed to be warm white, not all those daylight or cool white of the office.

Most of these luminaire manufacturers have online lighting calculation tools

The maximum you are looking for is your home is 50 to 75 lux in rooms. In the kitchen you may want 300 to 400 lux. Maybe same in the study. Maybe same in garage. But you really don't want office levels of illumination in a home.

All this calling watts is a completely wrong way of calculating lighting levels. The unit of lighting is lux for UK candela for us

All the best. I got these results from my YouTube history. When I wanted to do magic with lighting in my place

Lighting is both a science and an art.

Sadly here we only set up lighting for the purpose of lighting and not for setting mood and ambiance or for tasks.

So you need to learn a bit more to explore the range of what is possible with lighting design

Is he recommended 6 watts x numbers of points? That doesn’t make any sense to me then. If is 6 watts is should be have of those points then.

If you really want to mess with lighting design you can go for dialux or relux. They are both free lighting design apps. Most of the lighting industry has built modules that work with their software. It takes a little getting used to, but that is the way to go if you want to simulate lighting of your room

These days people don’t do walk bracket any longer
To me it’s a waste of space and energy.

I believe there is rope lights, center light then pop lights.. that’s enough

If you get original pop lights you don’t need that much light honestly.

thanks for sharing.

I almost even signed up for a lighting design course smiley

But I had to backpedal because I wouldn't have time to complete it. But I have it in mind.

I am grateful to learn from you.

The major light manufacturers in the US have several videos on this on YouTube, one can watch and pick lessons even if he or she is not going to use their products
