The NICEIC has some useful advice...

"By installing the correctly rated bulb in the fitting, the risk of
damage from overheating will be stopped and the electricity bill will be
prevented. "


I wonder how it does that? Mugs the postie?

That has a distinctly BabelFish flavour. Possibly originally Oriental?

I bought a USB-powered fluorescent light from the Bracknell
computer fair yesterday. The features on the box read as follows:

USB Computer Desk Lamp
The lamps are notable in below character.
1. Gentle ray, bright, without frequency change, benefit from
preventing eyesight.
2. By using lowest working voltage:5V, safety & reliability high
efficiency, saving energy.
3. It makes 20 times long life than normal daylight by placing
exeed ages cold light tube.
4. The lamp which not only can form a complete set with USB computer
socket, but also can directly set with city power supply.
5. Connect lampshade & lamp base in soft tube. Economic, beauty,
convenience on easy handle light direction.

Oh, and the instruction manual in the box was obviously written by
the same person, but I'll spare you all of that. I was almost worth
the £3 just for a giggle. Having said all that, it actually works
very well.
