| ![]() http://www.philips.co.in/c-p/9279267...specifications Lumens :2670 http://m.snapdeal.com/product/philip...e-light/102146 Lumens :1250 But you should compare them in person for reading. I prefer traditional fluorescent lighting for reading. Last edited by drsingh : 16th June 2015 at 13:27. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Hooked up my energy meter to my BR AC and found that it consumed 7.6 units over a 7.5 hour run. I noticed it was consuming between 1650 to 1950 watts when the compressor was coming on. The AC is a Daikin 1.5T regular model purchased 5 years ago. ![]() Last edited by Gannu_1 : 26th June 2015 at 13:45. Reason: Spacing. |

| ![]() Well, just on an impulse bought a hawkins contura 'virgin aluminum' cooker today. But, come home they are saying about health hazards of directly cooking(without vessels) in an aluminum cooker. ![]() Would this be true for these new age cookers from hawkins? Could any of you, throw more light on this? If it is harmful, I would have to plead for an exchange with the shop. Please advise! Last edited by JMaruru : 25th June 2015 at 20:18. |

The only precaution you have to take is not leave highly acidic liquid (tomato puree, lemon juice, raw mango juice etc) in the pan. One advantage of aluminum is that when virgin aluminum is exposed to air, it forms a hard oxide coat. That is why aluminum vessels never retain that new look. You scrub it, it shines, then oxide forms and it dull again. | |

| ![]() I am not too sure about the effect of acid either. Aluminium almost instantly forms an oxide film by atmospheric action, which is almost impermeable. So not much will leach out due to food action!! |

| ![]() My LG washing machine's wash quality has been strictly average for a very long time. We noticed that clothes are getting torn slightly or beaten up quite a bit. What could be wrong? Less water? We use the "Fuzzy logic" mode and water level is generally 7-8 out of 9. Tried Ariel and Surf -both for top loaders. Does not make any difference except the odor.

Better to collect the clothes for 2-3 days and wash heavy and delicates in separate wash cycles. Rohan | |

| ![]() Remember the only thing harder than Alumina is Diamond. Alumina is 9 and Diamond 10 on the Moh scale. So I will not worry! |
