ceaser: How easily do you get LED lights and fixtures? We faced same issues and now partner with a reliable one[url] ifluxlighting.com[/url] You may not even need to change the fixtures a.k.a Lamp Holders cos the some of LED bulbs use the regular screw and hook holders. We give at least 1 year warranty. Cheers |

Candour: Though one can power HVAC units with battery but my design doesn't call for such, unless it proves necessary in the future. I designed a passive house from scratch http://www.builditsolar.com/Projects/Cooling/passive_cooling.htm Good luck on your project. |

Candour: The best advice I can give you is to forget the Nigerian angle. They'll try to frustrate you with negativity that it can't be done (but you have heard from folks doing it here). Immerse yourself on Google searches, become an expert and import what you need. The truth is out there. |

ceaser: Good solid job man, very nice. The beauty of all of this is that you can upgrade/supplement as new technology and/or funds allow. Keep the flag hoisted. |

KolaShangOne: Iam always confused when i see Longspan prices advertised here for 1,100 per sqm whereas my roofing guy who is based in Benin gives prices similar to what you have here. Where do those that advertised for 1,100 get theirs from?. |
Re: Aluminium or Stone coated Tiles? Things you should know before you roof ur house by mufutau55(m): 4:22pm On Apr 25, 2016 |
NL1960: Those prices above are from the First Aluminium company. The one you are referring to is probably imported version. @EgunMogaji Welcome back... I was gonna come get you. ![]() Hajji M. 1 Like |

mufutau55: Thank you Sir. I was accosted by Nairaland EFCC and dutifully so. They've reprogrammed me now and we can return to regularly scheduled program ![]() My roof is about 200 square feet (depending on who's measuring) do the N129k is the ~N600 difference between the old and new price. 1 Like |
Re: Aluminium or Stone coated Tiles? Things you should know before you roof ur house by NL1960: 6:31pm On Apr 25, 2016 |
mufutau55: Is this imported version of a better or inferior quality to that of First Aluminum?. My brother-in-law has been struggling to raise the amount he was given for the roofing of his bungalow which is in the range quoted by Kolashangone. If he decides to go for this N1,100 type, the amount will be greatly reduced. So the question is if the imported is of the same quality as that of First Aluminum. |
Re: Aluminium or Stone coated Tiles? Things you should know before you roof ur house by mufutau55(m): 6:36pm On Apr 25, 2016 |
NL1960: I think I have heard that First Aluminium, Tower Aluminium and Qualitec Aluminium are more superior... I beg that is what I heard o. The good least priced imported Longspan I was going to use is at N1,450 for 0.55mm, and the Metcoppo is at N,1650 and that is here in Lagos area o. I will show it here when it's done probably in few weeks time or sooner. Sorry, but I am too poor for name brands, as much as I like them. Hajji M. |

EgunMogaji:Thanks for your post, I didn't say it can't be done, it's just difficult to get a neat curve here in Nigeria with our inexperienced and impatient approach to things. Those pictures are definitely not my naija. |
Re: Aluminium or Stone coated Tiles? Things you should know before you roof ur house by ceaser: 11:49am On Apr 26, 2016 |
EgunMogaji: Exactly. Flexibility and upgradeability is the fun of it all. |

GadgetsCo: Bro. Here is how it works, at least for me. I just get 1 or 2 pcs of the real stuff, note the components and just import 'em. Reverse engineer and couple the rest myself. That way I don't have to fear getting replacements of whole units since I have the replacement components. The attached picture is just a tiny part of my collection. Note in the picture, there are two LED lights that we all may be familiar with. I got the first 2 units of the white 3W SMD on the right (commonly called POP light by Igbo traders) from an Igbo merchant at 1k4 apiece. Accidentally days after I bumped on sellers online that give it out for cheaper and with better quality (I want to avoid quoting the price here, but it's a loooot cheaper). So I imported just enough to clear my installations and a lil more for tweaks, moddings, experiments and errors before I actually convert/mod the whole bunch to my taste. It's a 3W LED panel light and with an AC 80v to 220v led PWM led driver. There you can see the AC led driver has been removed and instead installed two in-line resistors (combined in parallel to obtain the desired resistance) to act as a current limiting resistor for a 12 volt DC source. I aimed at 0.9 watts power consumption instead of the factory 3 watts, of course with some reduction in lumen output, but definitely resulting in an extension of average half life of the LED chips. Average LED chip half life is 50,000 to 100,000 hours if left working for 24/7. You do the math. Still in the picture, you can see a reel of spare 5730/5630 smd LED chips that that particular POP light uses. All I just need do is solder in chips that have their lives spent, in the next 4 or so years. Another familiar item in the picture is the aluminium cased POP LED light on the left. The one in the picture is 1 watt (contains 1 watt cree LED chip) cos 1 watt is exactly what I need. There are 3 watts, 4 watt, 7 watts, 20 and even 80 watts containing 3, 4, 7, 20 pcs 1 watt or 3 watt chip as the case may be. You will notice its factory AC LED driver close to it, with a male clip. But I don't need 220volts AC. So what I did was to get a 1 watt 12volt G4 LED driver with a male clip and just inserted it into the female socket already on the POP light. Viola, you get yourself a 12 volt 1 watt POP light. Since the driver was imported and for the sake of convenience, I imported components of it and constructed a few more drivers myself. In the picture too, you'll see a transparent sachet bag containing tiny pieces of pure white epistar 1 watt LED chip (1 also have another bag containing about 50pcs of warm white). Each bag of 50 chips set me back by about $2.50 (600 naira). So once the POP light chip completed its work in 4 years, I just pick one piece of those and solder it in. That saves me the trouble of having to visit the Igbo trader's shop and haggle 1k7 for the price of another complete unit. I have used a few of the 1 watt chip to DIY different types of light combinations and power consumption to light places like steps, under-railings and flower beds. As for lamp holders, I have various types all at dirt cheap prices in my collections (G4, E14, E27 etc.) I even have simple lamp holder converters (E27 to E14, etc). All these serve my need for tweaks, mods and DIYs and replacements. I have little reason to visit our 9ja shops to buy 'em at inflated prices. Other stuffs in that picture are resistors. So what do I really mean to say with all the above, I want to cut to the barest minimum my reliance on Nigerian traders to get some stuffs reason not because I don't have the money, but because I notice Nigerian traders unduly inflate these prices so much that we begin to look at such things as luxury whereas in actual fact they are not. I like how the average comfortable American handle his DIYs ranging from paintings to constructions to auto repairs and interior deco. Note that I don't toy with 220 volts mains im case of appliances that require such in my home. I still rely heavily on outsourced electricians to handle that for me. This is not to spoil markit ![]() Oh, did I mention that my DSTV decoder runs smoothly on 12 volt DC direct? Yeah, I have clocked 12 straight hours on a single charge using one of my small portable solar home systems. So you can always have it connected to small TVs that also run 12 volt DC. 1 Like

Memejem:The arrangement of the ridges and troughs on a longspan sheet makes for easy conveyance of water during rainfall. Its the best for flow. Also, in case there is any debris, its easier to remove. Easier to maintain. It also laps along the ridges so even if theres a hole on the ridge, chances of leakage is low. Etc.. i'm just not a fan of steptile. i feel its a Nigerian's way of feeling richer than his neighbour who uses longspan. my own opinion 1 Like |

Miranda11: Ive been trying to dodge this stone coated issue mostly because there are alot of vendors on nairaland claiming different things. As far as i know, There are only 3 companies selling Original New Zealand stone coated roofing tiles in Nigeria. Their price ranges between 3050 to 3400 per sqm (old stock). Same way these companies give you 50 years warranty, we also have Korean \ China products that claim their product lasts 30years or more. |

Thank you so so so much. I'm really not a fan of such high roofs esp when the space isn't being utilized. i wouldn't mind it if there was an attic up there to be used for additional storage or an extra bedroom, but thats not the case. at least, I haven't seen anyone in nigeria with an attic anyways. Not that it can't be done, but if i'm going to spend so much money making an enormous roof, i would like it to be functional and not just aesthetically pleasing. Please, in regards to durability and sustainability would you say that stone-coated roof is a better alternative to longspan aluminum roofs or is there another alternative. Thank you in advance for your response. KolaShangOne: |
Re: Aluminium or Stone coated Tiles? Things you should know before you roof ur house by pragmatistm(m): 8:24pm On May 05, 2016 |
ceaser:There are small fridges of around 200W to 600W that consumes lower power than regular ones. They are OK on inverters. |
Re: Aluminium or Stone coated Tiles? Things you should know before you roof ur house by pragmatistm(m): 8:38pm On May 05, 2016 |
@all I still need someone who knows to compare the durability of longspan aluminum with that of nigerite slates. Let's know which is better. |
Re: Aluminium or Stone coated Tiles? Things you should know before you roof ur house by ceaser: 11:44pm On May 05, 2016 |
pragmatistm: But those ones still run on AC, meaning you will also need an inverter. There are refrigerators that strictly run on 12 volt/24 volt DC. All you need to have 'em running 24/7 is like 150 watts solar panel, solar charge controller and your 100ah deep cycle storage cells. |
Re: Aluminium or Stone coated Tiles? Things you should know before you roof ur house by pragmatistm(m): 6:18am On May 07, 2016 |
ceaser:Good. I'm interested in the 12V fridge. Is it available in Nigeria? How much? Can you link me up with a seller in Lagos? If possible I want to eliminate the use of my inverter and go totally DC as much as possible. If not for TV and other AC appliances, DC is just cheaper on solar in the long run. |
Re: Aluminium or Stone coated Tiles? Things you should know before you roof ur house by Nobody: 6:52am On May 07, 2016 |
pragmatistm: Also, as a conversation talk, there are as such as propane and kerosine fridges. |

Tower aluminum prices (direct from factory) 0.45 longspan- 1997 0 45 steptile and metcoppo- 1884 0.55mm longspan- 2520 0.55mm steptile -2377. |
Re: Aluminium or Stone coated Tiles? Things you should know before you roof ur house by 44chux(m): 8:40pm On May 07, 2016 |
pragmatistm: I imagine a 12V/24V compressor on the fridge will require a bigger guage wire to prevent loses due to wire resistance. Except u get 48V+ compressor motor, it wouldn't be efficient. Personally I prefer to import a high seer inverter a/c, fridge or washing machine unit from amazon. Start with 24 seer & You will be surprised on the efficiency |

pragmatistm: I made some solar products purchases from a seller on Konga. He included fliers of the products he sells in the package sent. There is a DC refrigerator listed in the flier. I will take a snapshot and post it here soon. NB: It's a Solar refrigerator. But I believe it sustains on 12 volt battery source as back up as shown in the picture. 1 Like
