I have a couple of these, not the nicest looking but do the job well, can be adjusted to almost any position, often use them as working lamps and are rechargeable...

I got one last year that is very similar to this one:

Lasts for many hours between charges and a bargain too. I'm sure you can get ones with colour options too.

I bought the Screwfix one last week. Good as a worklight in a shed, but not a nice reading lamp - it's cold, rather than warm, white.  But for what it is, I'm happy.

Yea, I like to keep the cabin in "cosy home" mode, I've bought a rather unstylish minimalist light from amazon, it is functional, and provides light of various types and intensity.

I would love a real (european) half size hurricane lamp I found in a local ironmonger,  but it requires a real wooden yacht, and I've got to keep myself grounded .

PS another £25 from UK Govt today (cwp), I'm very grateful.

i See, 

if I understand right then, a lump sum of money is given every winter to those eligible to receive it, and then further small payments are made if ever the weather goes below a certain temperature?

I am over 75, I think I get more than the standard OAP, not sure of all the criteria, I am waiting to see how the Govt assist those who have no energy bill, obviously complex, but according to Martin Lewis website (ESSENTIAL), it will be paid in The New Year.

But isn't that for the postcode that your house is in.

They were talking about this on  Radio 4 earlier today. The temperature at a point in each postcode area is monitored and that measurement determines if a payment is to be made.
