I bought some from lightingillusion on ebay - they are actually a brick+mortar chain but with an ebay outlet - the stuff was fantastic. Great follow up and great service. Got remote control ones for about 200$ with lights each. There are cheap fans in bunnings, but they are er..cheap. Weve had them in for 6mths and they are very good. Edit : Their ebay store is lighting illuisions online

Got them fitted by an electricist for 50$ each replacing existing light socket

Highly recomend them - one teeny part was missing and they couriered it to me within 24hrs. no quibbles.
Excellent, cheers Ah Beng. Struggling to get any response from any tradies for months (callback, email, online forms) but we would need a sparkie so will try that route.

I don't really want to put hand-helds everywhere as I don't like the aesthetics of most of them.
I'm with you on that. Trouble is, I want lights with the fans and quite a lot of those look functional, not stylish.

The state of the old conservation shophouse we lived in in Singapore, I full expected that one day. (Instead I got an in-bed shower from the hole in the roof, but that's another story.)
