Bit off topic but in a seventeenth century house LED lighting is no more
anachronistic than hot tungsten. Getting the colour balance right might
mean specialist sources though.



When the Government first said they were going to get rid of tungsten bulbs
I contacted the NT because they have lots of crystal chandeliers and asked
them what they intended to use instead because we also have a few crystal
chandeliers and the CFL's that were being pushed at us simply do not work in
them. They replied that they were changing over to clear halogen bulbs.
However that was before LEDs became as good as they are now and I suspect
that is what they will change over to eventually.
