Neighbour Complains that Celling light Warms up her house!
-
Good day to all readers,
I would like to share with all of you a case that has been bothering my unit for a few days now. I have attached the 2 complain letters that I found at my doorstep a few days ago for your reading pleasure and feedback.
Initially, I found her letter to be rather hilarious, but recently, not so, she continues to visit and bothers my family, even sowing discord amongst my family members, and I find no reason why I should agree to her requests.
I hope you guys could give me some advice.

Letter 1
Dear Neighbour,
Can you kindly switch off your kitchen light?
My Kitchen floor is very very hot. This hotness has spread to quite a large area.
Thank you.
Your neighbour

Letter 2

Dear Mr & Mrs,
Can you kindly switch off your kitchen ceiling light.
It has been on for at least 2 days.
My kitchen floor is very very hot.
A very wet floor towel is dried within an hour. I have to keep wetting the floor towel to cool my kitchen floor.
Thank you for your neighbourliness.
Your Neighbour.

So appears that I may have lost the right to utilize my own appliances :'( -
Ur lamp must be very powerful... otherwise how can it heat up ur neighbour floor -
maybe to avoid awkwardness between you and your neighbour, you can tell her you did off the lights and if her floor is still hot, then its not your problem... idiots must be treated like idiots.
-
Well... Maybe you can consider bringing this matter to HDB, if you are staying in a HDB flat?
-
Erm... the problem is go up to her unit and try for yourself lor...
-
Wow u must have put 50 spotlights in your kitchen sia...
So powerful that can warm up the ceiling of your neighbour...
Cant be lah... Go to him / her to explain... -
My Lamp is really just a normal small little flourescent(sp?) lamp thats probably only like 30cm in diameter? Just to please her I touched the lamp with my bare hands, it wasn't even warm.
And Yes I do live in a HDB flat.
The problem is she does seem to be spying on my house. Everytime the light is off, she stops complaining, but like instantly after i switch it back on, she will complain that very same day, and there probably is no logical way to check if my light is on, unless she actually goes downstairs to look back up.
The catch for me is that my lamp is problematic. Somehow if i turn it off, I'll never be able to turn it back on for a long while, unless I am patient enough to switch it on and off for like 100 times before it sometimes comes on by chance. Hence I keep it on, or else my kitchen is just dark and I see no reason for me to render my kitchen to darkness just because of a stupid neighbour complaining.
Alas, we have a new definition of "Hotspot". You find them on a HDB floor really. -
Could it be the lamp wires hidden in the ceiling that is heating up the ceiling?
-
Maybe is her unit itself is warm that direct sunlight can enter or it is block that no wind enter therefore she flat felt very warm
The most ridiculous things to say is your unit light make her flat warm... -
If you have time, you fix appointment for her at IMH. Help her to pack her bag as surely she will be admitted. bleedy pscyho.

Actually did went up to try.
Obviously we found nothing much, the place is warm, but its not unreasonably warm, just like a normal kind of singaporean heat.
She really did have wet towels on the floor, and a fan blowing on it, which probably explains why it dries up so fast anyway. A little extreme I must say.
I still dont see why is she so concerned, she probably sleeps on the kitchen floor. -
erm.... if you put a wet towel (must ask her how wet) on a cooler floor and use a fan to blow at it, I think it will also dry up in 1 hr
-
ITS THE HEAT OF CHAMELEON!!!!!!!!
-
I think she Siao one lah...
-
WAH 1 HOUR!!!! dude,tell her to dry her clothes using the floor, like that she benefits
omg she can open her own laundry cleaning service at home,earn big bucks plus plus customer happy.go be business partner with her man. 
-
the best is, to bring this up to hdb and ask them to bring someone down to explain to ur neighbour that ur small small kitchen light is unable to create tt much heat..
or u might wanna talk to ur mp -
It is possible. I have a hotspot (actually just warm) in my room too where my downstair neighbor's light is. When I first discovered it, I thought its a ghost hotspot.
Yeah, maybe can call HDB to check it up or in my neighborhood, we're referred to the town council. -
I think she nothing better to do at home so she write letter to you to complain...
I think you should go town council / HDB complian abt this situation lah...
If not it will go on n on... -

she is a molehill.
my room's floor is hot sometimes from the tenant below, but its perfectly ok cos it dun affect anything.
sometimes i feel warmth cos my aircon too cold..
just ask if she sleeps on tat very piece of floor every nite without mattress??
-
Wow can bring my laundry to her house to dry loh...
Since my laundry always need 1 whole day to dry...
Hers flat only 1 hour... -
Mad one. Hang pig head on her door.
-
The very sad case is that my dad sides her. Cant believe it. He says its a feedback so gotta listen.
-
how can the heat from a 40W lamp just seeps through that inches of thick concrete.. maybe radiation of heat dosent requires a medium so it travels out of your window and up to your neighbour's unit and then land itself onto the floor..
