yeah DIY is basically enjoying the process and the end results. satisfaction in doing up your own fittings. Now for that, no amount of money can buy

I say a weblink on the parts for DIY.
easily cost $80-$100 for 2 tubes.

My question is should i still DIY or buy off the rack?

whats the pro and cons for each?
if off the rack, any brothers here have gd recommendation pls.

Thinking of changing my PL to T5...
(heard it save more electricity....)

price of parts can be overated... visit a lighting shop or drop by sim lim towers to double check prices...
