It is a known fact that one lamp may consume for the light given, as much as a quarter more current than another. Here’s a typical casc:Mr. “A” paid 4/- for a 100-watt Siemens Lamp which gave 1,000 hours’ clear, glareless light, consuming 100 units at 4d.—total cost £l-17-4(1. Mr “B” paid 3/- for a “cheap” lamp and 3/- more to replace it when it burnt out after 400 hours. Current consumption for 1,000 hours 125 units at 4d.—total cost £2- 7-8. So, that on an average year's light, Mr. “A” paid 10/4d. less than Mr. “B.” And that’s on one point only.
