bTicino_1-hole_LED.jpg
bTicino 1-hole escutcheonThe base plates all have three holes. This is a single hole escutcheon with a rocker switch with LED. We tried several methods of showing the workers how to paint stuff in the house without getting paint everywhere. We tried masking tape on the window and door frames, we tried removing these escutcheons but the men put them back on. During the night Jazzman removed them, covered them with 'Gladwrap' cling foil and put them back on. We'll see what happens...jazzmanFeb 28, 2007
living_room_ceiling.jpg
Living room ceilingThe ceiling was done this way because:
Mrs Jazzman wanted one like it.
It's very easy to install. Took 2 men 2 hours for 40 m2.
It's cheaper even than plasterboard (Shitrock?) at around 50 baht per m2 including the rails.
It gives instant access to any part of the attic.
Allows a rapid redistribution or addition of lighting elements and fans etc.
Jazzman likes it too (although he thought it was a bit kitsch at first)

bTicino_3_module_unit.jpg
bTicino 3 module unitThis is the bTicino 3 module unit (without its escutcheon). Notice how it is not important in Thailand to have things nice and level. The modules in this unit are (from L to R) minature dimmer 480 baht each. Empty hole because this unit will receive a 2-hole escutcheon. 2-pin + earth version of the many different kinds of sockets used in Thailand, cost 42 baht
The unit with its escutcheon costs 17 baht and includes the screws.
