    Steer clear of those rope lights what Bunnings sell if you are worried about electricity cost.
    The Wife picked one up and at first I though it was LED, on closer inspection its just a bit of glowing wire and they get quite warm (they call em 'fused') . Got the wattage meter out and 275 watts for the 20metre one

    Amazing they can still sell them with the big push to low energy globes.

    They do have LED ones but they are not as easy to find.

    ....but it isn't his B'day anyway. All this guff has its roots in paganism....and northern hemisphere seasonal rituals. It is about as far from a christian celebration as it can get.

    I think most would know that Christmas has it's origins in some ancient pagan ritual, but leave it to the yanks to take it to the legal system to sort it out.
