Mike - after reading about the lamp I went out to find one.

Unfortunately every lamp I found was cheap and nasty once it was in my hands.

Then, I discovered you can buy the bulbs........

At home I have a decent solid anglepoise lamp, 30 years and made in the Rhodesian sanctions era. It has a standard bayonet fitting.

I duely found a lamp shop that had the various bulbs and ended up getting a 8 watt white light bulb. Dimmable. Around 30 dollars. But everything is expensive here. 25 year warranty!!!!

The LED bulbs start around 8 dollars for a 1 watt blue. As the wattage increases so does the price. The colour range goes from blue though a yellow range and into a white range until you end up with a pure white - which is what I have.

Absolutely fantastic! Recommended. Will post a couple of pics next week.

Strange thing is our cats hate the light. They avoid the light as if it was something physical. Frequency maybe????
