"New year, new lights", as the old adage goes....

In we went and it was like going through Boosco's magic door. It was a lighting wonderland!
Floor upon floor of wall-to-wall lights, light fittings, shades...you name it, they had it.
Shopping for light fittings isn't high on my list of 'Things I Like To Do At The Weekend' but it was as enjoyable as shopping for light fittings can possibly be.
The staff were really helpful too.

Honesty! Call me a old fashioned but I value that highly these days. read more
