Can't get the lamp off the wall; even after using WD the screws refuse to budge. I have removed the old socket. Do I have to buy a special socket or does this use the same socket as a table lamp? I'm a "little old lady" but am really handy with

A: If you already have the old socket out, then take that to the hardware or home improvement store where you normally shop and they should be able to match it up for you. Just do the reverse to install that you did to remove it and you should be fine.

Shedding some light on eco-friendly bulbs

“The invisible coating of infrared helps to retain the heat,” says Lucy. “It is also filled with Xenon, an inert gas, which makes it more efficient.” This allows energy savings of around 30 per cent. The best, in her opinion, is made by Osram and is known as the ES Classic A (Classic B is the candle version, and Classic P is the shape of a golf ball). These can be recycled normally, and are available on the high street at around £1.80 ( ryness.co.uk ).

The final alternative is LED. It is extraordinarily efficient, with a single watt of power producing a very bright light. And as the luminescence is emitted by tiny chips rather than bulbs, they can be inserted almost anywhere (see example above). John Cullen has just launched a new LED spotlight called Polestar 4, which offers 90 per cent of the light quality of a regular spotlight while using a fraction of the energy.

Heart Inspired Ceramic Wall Lamp | DigsDigs

Cuore Sacro (Sacred Heart) is a white ceramic wall lamp designed by Tania da Cruz. Its appearance recalls our cardiac muscle and the lamp is really inspired by representation of the heart in Christian iconography. The lamp was presented at the 50th annual Salone del Mobile and probably soon everybody will be able to buy it. The lamp in my opinion can easily fit any modern interiors.
