But I decided I wanted D700's. Found a place where I could get them for $30 inc GST. Order 36, get an email the next day saying they only have 16 left. Take those, found another site selling for $36 in GST. Order the balance of 20, get a call later that day saying they only have 8 left but cool white!! Aarrgghh take those, one more cheaper site going for $40 inc GST in warm white so order 6. Get a call saying they have 6 in warm white but the fascia is different! Getting so fed up i take them anyway, nobody will notice!

I am considering the Manhattan 25 for my first home. Did you have to pay extra for electrical work? Hey we are currently building a Manhattan and got all our electrical work done with coral. Although instead of getting the everything done directly through them we are supplying all of the lights and they are just installing them. I did a lot of research before choosing to do this and it definitely works out cheaper than doing it after hand over, unless you know a sparky. Thanks pulse! Lexie, what does Coral mean by basic electrical stuff? Re: Our Coral Homes Journey - Manhattan 25 673Jun 15, 2016 9:34 pm My dad is getting us lights with a switch that you can change the colour!

Most have them on display and they can change the colours and show you what it looks like... Might be an idea to have a look before you buy in case they are too yellow. The other thing that has been suggested to me previously is mixing up cool and warm White downlights. Still don't know how I feel about it but I get the idea. Someone suggested cool white to me for over the island when we were worried about the first floor tile selection looking too yellow against the island bench under downlights. I still find cool white a bit 'headachy'. I had concerns about a particular pendant I liked looking too yellow once the light was on and a lady at the lighting store explained that some bulbs do that and that its just a bulb issue C U S T O M.
