If so, I await the arrival of the thought police as I still have a stock of proper Britishinvented
light bulbs. BRIAN TAYLOR, North Shields

It is climate change, allegedly caused by the increased emissions of C02 and other greenhouse gases, that provides the rationale for the global eradication of incandescent

The company Sengled has expanded the possibilities of the smart

These days, fairy lights and garlands of lights are everywhere at Christmas, although technology has moved on and rather than being incandescent

Light bulbs that are not energy efficient will be banned across the United Arab Emirates by the end of this year as the Emirates Authority for Standardisation and Metrology (Esma) has expanded its range of efficiency standards to cover more electrical equipment and appliances.
After all, used
