Apparently someone quite famous once said ‘let there be light’ and the rest is history. The problem is that as Eskom keeps on hiking up our electricity prices (when there is actually power of course) it becomes more expensive to stick to that age-old mantra.

You are best advised to keep a healthy supply of candles around the show for when we are all plunged into darkness. There is also another step you should be looking into – and that’s the movement to replace your home bulbs with those that are more energy-efficient. Meet the High Power Cold White LED Light Bulbs, coming in a pack of 10 and setting you back just the R349 (50% oFF, free delivery).

These guys are built to last up to 20 000 hours, are environmentally friendly and will save energy consumption by 80 %. They are also 5-10 times the brightness of the incandescent bulb, can be used indoor and outdoor and can also be a great addition to restaurants and shops.

Before I go, best you also check out the Folding Trestle Table, which could be the deal of the year, currently down from R1 600 to R499.

For you Samsung phone users who are tired of the crummy battery life it’s worth looking at the E-Cover Solar Powered Battery Cover (R459, 34% off). You heard right, look at you harnessing the power of the sun to charge your phone.

Shop away good people.
