  Um; I have what feels like a bit of a silly question - are your house lights dimmer than usual or is it just me? I don't think it applies to our LED ones, but the rest just don't seem as bright as they ought to be. Coincidentally we had a couple of power cuts in Whitfield at the end of last week and I think it started after that.

  Have you got a multi meter to be able to test the circuit voltage?
  LEDs require lower voltage so symptoms suggest reduced voltage.

  Thanks Reg - I did wonder if it was that, so will have to get it checked!

  Just wait until the 'green' ferries start plugging in down the docks!
  
  It's going to be like all the lights in Sing Sing dimming whenever anyone went to the electric chair.
