    Changing gas n electric suppliers...

    Maybe the long term "plan" is that with smart meters they could feesably charge more for gas/electric between 4PM and Midnight, and 6am-9am (as examples) Kind of like the reverse premise of Eco7 I presently set the dishwasher to run at around 3am, and the washing machine tends to get set to...

    LeD lighting

    These LED tapes dont really chuck out much heat at all. I've a 5M run that pulls around 1.1Amps on full bore, so thats about 13.2Watts. Id reckon, as its an older set, that its around 30LED/M, so thats 0.08W/LED A modern LED may pull a bit more but its marginal, and not like the CREE LED...

    Changing gas n electric suppliers...

    Not nessececarilyyy, BG do sometimes "lease" you a hive depending on the sales technique they used. Something like £3/Month forever. Yes you can buy outright, and many do, but some have been sold it as above due to the claims of cheaper heating etc.

    LeD lighting

    Ignore lumens, its a BS statement, and thats before you get into chinese lumens :lol: 300/5M is about the minimum you want, 600 would be dandy but (obviously) doubles power consumption on the same run Not see 4 side by side before, they tend to be single rows

    keyless car theft

    I mean the case where you are in your 1970's carbed car waiting to pull out of a side street, you see an automated car in the line of flow and just pull out as you know full well that will avoid you (as opposed to someone else in the 1970's car who "might not"). Its either segregation until...

    keyless car theft

    IMHo, "driverless cars" will only work if they are kept in their own area of the road/towns/cities. Human nature (except for the Japanese, because they all seem to follow the rules and think us western folk are mental), means we will always fight the system/do something to annoy it. e.g. if we...

    keyless car theft

    Software has been in cars for years, its the dodgy linking of systems with a somewhat slack attitude to cyber security that is of concern. By all means have systems that can report back, just sack off the OTA idea :lol:
