Re: LED Lights
I agree that Philips lights are superior. I have also used Pasolite LEDs and have installed only 3 months back. Need to see them in the long run.

Re: Home Elevator / Lift - Residential
Government liasioning is a grey area and most of it is paid as bribe. So there is no fixed price for this. If you can get it for 10-12k, you should go for it. Normally, they take 50% amount for issuing erection permission and rest for final licence. So you can pay accordingly.
