IKEA Tertial Work Lamp

The IKEA Tertial Work Lamp is really a cheap table lamp and the flexible arm is quite useful. Just bought two from IKEA a few days ago. Got the Ledare LED E27 400 lumens bulbs rated at 6.3W as well.

Instruction manual

Putting together the lamp was easy; latch the two springs,  fit the lamp shade and twist to tighten, fit bulb into the socket. The instruction manual can be found here. There are 3 ways to mount the clamp. You can mount the clamp horizontally ( which is found in the instruction manual ), vertically or mount it with screws. There are four screw holes and you'll need to buy proper size screws that fit the holes.

Bulbs for IKEA Tertial Lamp

This IKEA Tertial Work Lamp can take up to 60W rated bulb. But I wouldn't go more than 12W bulbs if it's going to be placed near. The heat generated from a high wattage bulb can be uncomfortable.

The Ledare LED E27 bulb which has a color temperature of 2700k, is too yellow for my liking. So, I purchased the Philips Essential LED E27 bulb rated at 9 watts. This Philips bulb has cool daylight (6000-6500k) color temperature. It is also brighter with 720 lumen compared to the IKEA Ledare E27 bulb which is 400 lumen.

TPU soft case for the Redmi Note 4

Purchased this TPU soft case for 1.12(US Dollar) plus free shipping from Aliexpress.com. Surprisingly, it fits the Redmi Note 4 perfectly and cut outs are all aligned nicely. The clear TPU case holds quite firmly on the edges of the phone.

Quite a bargain at this price. Some photos of the TPU case for the Redmi Note 4.









Redmi Note 4 - Global Developer ROM is here!

Xiaomi has just released the much awaited Global Developer ROM for the Redmi Note 4 a few days ago. Why a developer ROM? Usually developer ROMs will have the latest features and faster bug fixes while the known bugs are still present on the Stable ROM.

If you are on Global Stable 8.0.4.0 currently and want to install the Global Developer ROM, you will need to download the Global Developer recovery ROM. You can download the Recovery ROM from here.

Then copy the file 'miui_HMNote4Global_6.12.15_c1fc91958b_6.0.zip' and place in the root folder of the phone's internal storage.

Open the Updater app, tap on the 3 dots, and select "Choose update package". Goto the ROM zip file, select and press OK. Installation of the Global Developer ROM will start.

For owners who prefer a fastboot flash, Global Developer ROM version 6.12.15 can be downloaded here.
