But I've just thrown away (down the dump) my last lamp of that era, a
25W big heavy beastie that sat unnoticed in the lounge all that time,
gently lighting the corner it lived in.

If it was on for 6 hours per day, that's roughly 2000 hours a year,
for 25 years, = 50,000 hours of use and saving 75W per hour.

That's a total of 3.75 megawatt-hours *saved* by this one lamp alone,
about £300.....

Gasp....


You can do just as well training the nippers to,

!!PUT THAT BLOODY LIGHT OUT"
