What it supplies

Schneider Electric. Schneider Electric Malaysia’s all-authorised-partners locator lists Advance Trading Co. as a DIY & retailer partner. Its partner page lists electrical protection and control, home systems, and light switches and sockets. The listing gets the location wrong (city “Prai”, state “Pahang”), but its phone number, 04-262 2759, is the one on the shop’s own signboard. The listing confirms the relationship, not stock of any particular item. Call to check before you go. See the Schneider brand page for the ranges we cover.

Philips. Philips Lighting Malaysia’s where-to-buy list names Advance Trading Co. at “64 Cimberley Street” as a lighting retailer.

Other brands seen. Contributor photos show Himel stickers on the shopfront and an Esaver banner. The Facebook page has posted an Aurore LED downlight. These are brands the shop shows, not dealer listings.

Visiting

Google Maps gives Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm, Saturday 9am to 4:30pm, closed Sunday. A directory copy of the listing gives Friday until 4:30pm instead, so call ahead if you’re going late in the week. The shop’s side signboard gives both 04-262 2759 and 012-487 3484.
