Sitting in the Dark .....

Postby TheOstrich » 01 Dec 2023, 23:01

Are there any other mugs on this forum taking part in the latest National Grid Live Demand Flexibility Service events? :mrgreen:

Or is it only Mrs O and myself who have opted to sit in the dark for 90 minutes twice this week ....... :lol:

Still, we have managed to reduce our electric consumption down to an average of just 36 watts - less than an old-fashioned light bulb - for both events. :D

Blinkin' EonNext had better knock some money off our next bill ....... :(

I was out of the house from 11.30a.m till 10 30 p.m yesterday. So no electricity being consumed.

Do I qualify for this payment?

LED 4000K bulbs otherwise called cool white. Perfect. 2700k Warm white is seriously good for destroying your eyes.
