Hi, just watched a re-run on home and leisure (Bob, Norm or someone) and the
house they were refitting was having a central lightbox fitted which then
ran to outlets via fibre optics. Anyone seen anything similar over here?

Yes, horribly inefficient (a 500W forced air cooled source creating
as much light in a room as a 40W lamp would).

Might become viable if anyone manages to get microwave sulphur lamps
working commercially again, so you just have one light in the house.
