Not when u stare at candlesticks for hours or you need to provide power point presentation 

Not sure if traders really glue their eyes on the screen for so long. Similar to those in Ops room in petrol-chemical or nuclear plants looking at many sensors output. They probably set some pre-alerts level 1 green, 2 amber , 3 orange , 4 red to gain reaction time. 

Anyway, just kidding on the screen. They can have 12K if they want. I bring my personal monitor to office as well.

Yup.. all lights are led.. the increase should be mainly due to aircon, computers, cooking n TV usage..

Looks like you never properly do up your Singapore tax return le.

In Aust, it is a claimable tax expense.

In Sg, it is only possible if you are self-employed with home office.

That's provided the company upload the data to Ah Gong.

Haven't look into how home office calculate it yet.

My monthly season parking in CBD and petrol a month is already around $750.

Nowadays, one full tank lasts me 3 weeks. More than offset the electricity usage spike.

Mine are mainly CFL PLC down lights. Can directly replace with LED PLC? Do I need to change drivers? Price wise, LED about twice the price of normal CFL.

There are LED PLC bulb.  Direct replacement.  I used 4.5w LED PLC bulb replaces 13w PLC Bulb.

Even tungsten bulb also got LED replacement.
