Jakarta – Again, a user convenience Sharp product line. Beginning with the purchase of AC on February 27, 2010 with the brand name Sharp AH-type PK in AP5SLY 0.5 Abadi Jaya Toko Electronic Senen. First the salesman “Robin Koh” recommend that AC is a good choice because it “quick cool”.

However, after installation is complete and we use it a sense of “cool” does not exist. We think maybe the new stuff that it took a long time to equalize the temperature of the room. Five hours have passed but we felt like wearing fan. So the temperature of 16 degrees feel like 28 degrees. How come?

Then we went to complain to the store on February 28, 2010. Then sending the results technicians who reported that there were no installation errors, the room, and the disturbance in the unit. Technicians who named Mr Taufik was just checking and not doing any action. As a result there is no change in anything. And he ‘only’ advised to contact the Call Center Sharp. Is this what is called customer service. If the store can not necessarily hands-off.

Sharp products continued to complain that we send to Sharp who then responded by sending a technician named Mr Syahroni on March 1 2010. Results of checks and found no shortage of content ricek freon leak in the hose input and output. Again this is just the technicians. AC should have the job can work well. But, apparently to no avail. AC temperature of 16 equal to 28 degrees plus the technician statement stating that this type of air conditioning is cold this hour.

We continue to follow up with Sharp Customer Service, Mr Andi Mulyadi. However, until this letter we write, there is no better solution than him and who claims his supervisor, Mr Suwandi about our complaints.

Please follow up and management of Sharp can resolve our complaint as soon as possible. If indeed there is no solution to my complaint with a heavy heart I will sell and replace with another brand of the course “more cool” and “better understand the customer”. In other words we have crossed out the name of Sharp to the needs of our electronics, family, and friends forever. Thank you.

The room was hot always be uncomfortable to live. Many people want easy and fast solution, the choice fell to the air conditioning (AC). Whereas before determining a solution, is useful to know first root of the problem.

Because of the minimal amount of ventilation, the air exchange does not occur from the inside out of the room. This is the culprit causing the temperature of the room was hot.

Then, if a window in each room is enough? Apparently not. Still according to Sukendro, to exchange the air in the room went well, need to be cross ventilation (cross ventilation). There are at least two windows or openings that face each other in one room.

Cross ventilation allows air to flow from inside to outside and vice versa, without having to settle prior duu, in the room. Air enters from one window, will instantly streamed out of the window in front of him, and replaced with new air, and so on. If it’s like, no air conditioning kept the room too cool.

Another thing to note is the size of the window or opening, which must be balanced with the size of the room. Large room definitely needs a big opening. Not only make better air flow, large openings also include a lot of sunlight. The room became healthy and bright, without the need to turn on the lights in the daytime.

Try clay your bedroom. Already have cross ventilation have not you? If it was not cool and space as well, just attach the AC.

See interior photos in magazines or the internet, often comes the desire to apply it at home. Not only but also of spatial arrangement of light aka lighting. In fact, every house and even to each room that does not require the same illumination.

Interior Designing In the book, published Sekisui House, Japan, noted that the difference in style and habits of spatial residents, determine what kind of lighting is required.

The room where there is only one activity is performed, does not require a lot of light. One fruit lamp, placed in the ceiling, can be said enough. Unlike the case with room to accommodate many activities in it. In such rooms, chances are you have to provide more light, for each activity.

We take the example of the family room, some people take advantage of the family room is not just a family gathering area. Reading, watching television, rarely even doubled as the living room. Now, for each activity was, required different lighting. To read the example, you need to add a reading lamp.

Well, to know whether a room is only used for one or more activities, depending on the habits of each family. Houses and other one is different. That is why, cheat raw images in magazines or the internet, is not a wise action. Ga want, you, the house appears canik but not comfortable? Therefore, adjust the arrangement with our needs and the family.

Usually, the kitchen is divided into two important areas, work areas and storage areas. Work area is an area where all the food-processing activities carried out. While the storage area is the area where you store a variety of food and other kitchen needs.

Many people rely solely on information from one point of light, as the kitchen light. In fact, such information is sufficient. Especially if the power and intensity of scattered light is uniform and strong. Quite a light, bright kitchen can be uneven.

Different if the lighting condition was not flat and strong. It may be that, when cooking up a variety of problems due to the lack of light. For example, it is hard to recognize good food and not from the physical. Or hard to find items that are in the closet area.

Lighting effects to give the kitchen more functional and attractive, can be arranged more specific information. At least three types of information required in the kitchen, namely: two functional lighting and a lighting are optional.

“Lighting is a lighting function which is applied because of its function. For the kitchen, its function to illuminate the work area. As more light is optional as an accent,” said Specialist Lighting from Cipta Graha Hadiprana, Arwin Amir.

What are the functional lighting?

The first is a comprehensive lighting (general light). For this lighting typically use downlights placed on the ceiling. The second is the task. For this area, normally used halogen spot lights placed at the bottom of the cabinet hanging.

With adequate lighting, cooking in the kitchen a more comfortable, especially at night. You can see the color and type of food more clearly. Making it easier for you to identify foods that are good quality and no.

For lighting are optional, usually serves as an accent. The lamp is usually placed in the hanging cabinet glass doors. In addition to functioning as a light, luminescence light from the glass doors can make the kitchen more beautiful.

How about the kitchen in your house, already have the right lighting?

Actually, all the room lights that require a special set. This was expressed by many lighting designers around the world. Bright is not enough. Need to ensure that the available light can safeguard the security and user convenience space.

In the kitchen, lighting required for the activities there safe and comfortable place. For example, for the kitchen as a whole, at least 300 lux of light needed. Confused? Relax, Mariana Rahman from Lumina Lighting Consultant Group was willing to explain this matter of lighting.

According to Mariana, “bright light of strong standards in every inch of the kitchen is 300 lux. That is, in every square meter room needed 15-20 Watt light.”

Well, we can count them now. For example, your kitchen 4mx5m size, mean size is 20m2. Thus, in the room needed a lamp that has a level of total light 300lux.

Professor Christian Bartenbach, lighting designer who came from Austria, explains in his book, The Light of The World. According to him, good lighting is bright enough to do the activities, but not too harsh to make headache.

Mariana support the statement, “The lights had to be adjusted to the needs of the activity. For the kitchen, should have a color rendering (CR) above 80%.” You can use this type of fluorescence (CR: 70-80%) or halogen (CR:> 80%). If you could choose the type of daylight so that the color as the original food. For installation point, so that no glare, install lights at an angle of about 30 degrees. Cover with opaque acrylic if necessary.

Well, if well-ordered lighting, cooking becomes more enjoyable, is not it?

Lights are often exposed to splashes of water or high humidity, can lead to danger, tuh. Water, as one of the good conductor of electricity, can cause electrical short-circuit. We often forget this when choosing lighting for the bathroom. Usually we think of was, “The important thing is bright.”

According to Philips Lighting Product Manager, PT Philips Indonesia, Mirsya Budiasih, bathroom requires a special lamp. At least these lamps must withstand high humidity. “Better yet resistant to water splashes,” said Mirsya.

Bathroom, obviously Mirsya, has areas with different levels of humidity. Shower area can be more humid than the area of the sink and toilet. So this area needs a lamp that is more resistant to moisture. Lights we are talking about this, obviously Mirsya, is light overall, including light bulbs, electrical components, and the house lights.

As a sign that the lamp has a resistance to water and humidity, Mirsya said, could be seen whether the lamp has Ingress Protection (IP) or not. IP is the international standard code. Especially for electronic products or relating to electricity, IP can show the product resistance to water and humidity.

Lamps with IP is relatively expensive, but its safety is assured. Then, what about those who are not deep pockets? Careful placement of lights is the answer. Avoid placing lights in areas that are often exposed to water splashes. If necessary, ensure safe enough shade to protect the lamp from water splashes.

Well, turned out to vote and put the lights, to the bathroom too, need special attention, yes.
