Lighting- I ended up ordering some lights from the UK via wayfair.co.uk and amazon.co.uk and had them shipped. Even if I could track down the same models locally (it was very, very hard), the prices were boosted so high that it still made sense to purchase overseas. For some of my lighting, I found a place in SSP computer centre on the second floor that just sells simple disk-shaped LED lights without any additional ornamentation. The brand is Iris Ohyama.
Ceiling fans- there is a smallish range of good, aerodynamically-designed fans. Haiku by the well named bigassfan company does expensive and stylish ones, but I liked Aeratron- very quiet, low power, electronically controlled brushless (so simple wiring). Not sure if you'd like the look of them, but personally I like them a lot more than the simple angular metal ones that seem so common. If you check price.com.hk you can find one or two local vendors for the latter. About 2K for an Aeratron, iirc. There are several other options, but my memory is that Haiku and Aeratron provide more air flow info than most, which led me to believe they were more carefully designed.
Edit: Haiku is the fan shown in Shri's image above. Definitely on the pricey side. Aeratron are the first two images in Sage's post.
