That looks cool. Last week I bought about 8 10W LED light bulbs to replace our 60 and 100W bulbs at home. They don't seem any different in terms of light output, so its remarkable that they use about 80% less electricity. I did realize later that they don't emit much heat, which could be a downside in the winter.

Sit round a candle, of course. If it's really cold, we light it...

Not a lot, now. We got double glazing last year and since then the central heating is enough to keep the house warm. With the single glazing there was quite a draught and closing the curtains was the best way to stop it.

Well, I say 'candle'... we dribbled on a bit of string...
