I replaced 2x25W with 2x7W in several places around the house.

Then I bought a 3 hour glass timer (3,5,8 mins) for 1 Euro.

And I also bought this for 10 Euro.

Dell Supersharp 2208WFPt 22" Monitor.
I already owned a very similar 20" Dell monitor but I wanted to go a bit bigger...
Must say it's a bit of an adjustment.

Once I switched to those low energy bulbs(and after my eyes adjusted) I really got to like the more subtle light of a 11watt source rather than a harsh 40-60watt bulb.
and the ability to flip a monitor vertically is a boon for old school shoot em ups that have an arcade style vertical mode.

I recently moved house so did a similar thing as a lot of the bulbs had blown and needed replacing. However, I did make the mistake of picking up a couple of 'daylight' bulbs along with the the regular ones. Never again! A corner of the living room ended up looking like a hospital operating theatre and I was also under the assumption that I had my own lighthouse installed at the top of the stairs.

All this talk of purchasing light bulbs.

You do know Nos will have to go and buy some now, preferably in numerical order, as will Stephen if they are in the correct artwork he remembers from the eighties.

Not to mention Trebor who will trade in his Doctor Who collection at CEX and buy Blackpool Illuminations.

I placed an order on Shameless last night. The Black Cat and Who Saw Her Die? will hopefully come to my door soon.
