Led Zep standing In The Light

Advantages: all of sides one and two
Disadvantages: some of sides three and four

...My 50th review. Cue applause, marching bands, street parties etc. For the half century I've saved up this milestone for my op on one of the biggest, longest, loudest and most influential rock albums ever made. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I offer to you, Led Zeppelin's "Physical Graffiti". In the days before CDs were invented, you had yer actual double album, guvnor. A favourite format for 1970's rock bands, allowing them to stretch out their ideas over 80+ minutes of vinyl. This is probably the definitive rock double album. Strangely enough it didn't come in the standard double-album gatefold sleeve, having instead a single album format, but with two vinyl covers, which when placed into the top of the album insert cleverly shows different scenes going on in a New York tenement block, such as pictures...

Review of Physical Graffiti [Remastered] - Led Zeppelin

Superb lights, Bikehut ultrabright LED light set.

Advantages: Super bright, very white lamps with excellent beam.
Disadvantages: Rear lamp uses batteries a bit quicker

...I bought these from Halfords (£34.99) and though they were not cheap (list price is over £50.00) they were certainly worth it. The front lamp is amazing! main beam/dipped beam and flashing. It is a pure white light and has a superb beam almost like a car headlamp! Battery life, 4 x AA (so far - 3 months old now) is very good I am still on the first set of batteries in the front lamp with occasional use. The rear light is also very bright, main and flashing mode. Battery life on this is a lot less, 2 x AAA and I replace these regularly, but I use rechargables so they may go flat faster than original batteries. Overall, though they are expensive lights to buy, they are worth every penny, and are very easy on batteries compared to old style bulbs or the newer halogens, so will save you money there in the end. I would not bother...

Review of BikeHut Ultra Bright LED Light Set

Light up your mother in law!

Advantages: Excellent level of light, work very well, cheap
Disadvantages: None for us so far

...My mother in law was coming to visit us a few weeks ago and we were getting things ready in our new cottage. She has recently had a hip replacement operation and is recovering very well but we wanted to make sure that the cottage was as safe as we could possibly make it for her. One of the things we wanted to get was a night light of some sort as she usually gets up in the night to go to the toilet. We looked at the ones available in B & Q and chose a Motion Detector LED Night Light by Masterplug. The pack contained 2 plug-in night lights and cost £9.98. The lights come packed in a see through plastic package with a cardboard insert so that's all recycleable then. Each one is about 11cm tall by about 7cm wide and 5cm deep with the actual light being circular and just over 5cm in diameter. The light is set towards the top...

Review of Masterplug Motion Detector LED Night Light White

Hope's Fistful of LED's?

Advantages: Very bright light, flexible, durable
Disadvantages: Slighty iffy bracket, Heavy unit

...How Bright? LED lights have almost universally replaced halogens as the bulb of choice in your typical cycle lights. The very bright light of an LED is very good at ensuring you get seen but the narrow beam wasn't so good at seeing with. For riding off-road a good halogen setup was superior to LED until very recently. The last couple of years have seen light manufacturers incorporate high power LED's into light units. Compared to a standard 2.4 watt halogen in a typical commuter light delivering about 40-50 lumens, a 1 watt LED will produce about 80 lumens, while the latest LED emitters will produce around 250 lumens from a measly 5 watts. Coupled with lighter and more energy dense Li-ion battery packs, 900 lumen light units intended for racing off-road are a feasible although rather expensive option. Another innovation seen...

Review of Hope Vision Single LED

One Laugh Led to Another!

Advantages: Fab character and story, enjoyable read, light hearted
Disadvantages: None

...When Tess Jarvis and Jim Ashworth drunkenly sleep together neither of them expects that it will result in a baby. But that's exactly what happens, and Tess is in complete shock over her unexpected pregnancy. Both Tess and Jim want to stay friends with no romantic involvement but don't like the confused looks people give them when they try to explain their situation. Tess, with the help of her friends, has to try to come to terms with single parenthood, and has to do a little growing up of her own. Pregnancy is a very common theme in women's fiction these days - from IVF, to women getting pregnant on the sly and unplanned pregnancies. But One Thing Led To Another has a different slant on the issue, and perhaps one which sits well in our modern times as well - a baby with a best friend after a suprise 'union' shall we say! This book is...

Review of One Thing Led to Another - Katy Regan

"Forty Fousand Fag-Ends" - End Game

Advantages: Easy to fit. No mains wiring
Disadvantages: Poor manual, not dreadfully bright.

...my mat, or rather into my e-mail inbox drops a flyer from www.maplin.co.uk, informing me that their High Power LED, Solar-Powered Security Light has been reduced to £29.99 from £39.99. Now, LEDs might not sound like the stuff that could light a keyhole let alone a driveway, but things have moved on, as you'll know if you read my recent opinion on a bike headlamp! This is good news for power requirements too. THE LAMP ARRIVES - PHANTOM BUTT CHUCKER BE AFRAID, VERY AFRAID Packed in a sturdy box, the package breaks down into two specific units. 1) The lamp unit itself and 2) The solar panel and 6 metres of connecting lead. You also get a pack of correctly-sized screws and the flimsiest of instruction sheets. Fortunately, the instruction sheet does go into considerable details as to how the thing (or rather both things...

Review of Maplin 30 LED High Power Solar Security Light

Light Blue

Advantages: long lasting, light frangrance
Disadvantages: can't live without it

...This perfume is a must have item in my opinion for any female. I got my last bottle for around £15 from semichem - bargain! It's quite big too, I've had mine for about 5 months and I wear it most days, theres still over a third left in the bottle. Its light and refreshing eau de toilette. It was launched in 2001. It is a light floral fragrance with a blend of flowers and fruit: apple, bluebells, jasmine, bamboo and white rose. There are so many layers with this frangrance and it has subtle hints of cedarwood, amber and musk. Because it is such a fresh and light scent - it works best in the summer. I long for the sunshine so that I can cover myself in this delightful perfume. When I wear it I always get comments like "what is that gorgeous smell you are wearing?" Its suitable of every occassion, day to day wear and evenings. I prefer...

Zalman CNPS 9700 LED cooler

Advantages: Very low temperatures, Quite and vibration-free.
Disadvantages: It can get very dusty after a while.

...To start with, it comes with a high quality thermal grease. That means that you don't have to spend any more money on any other thermal paste. It also comes with a Fan controller which proves to be extremely useful. All you need to do is to turn to "Ignored" the "CPU fan speed" at the hardware monitor which is located in you motherboard's BIOS. The installment is very easy just follow three easy steps and you are done! It keeps my CPU's temperatures down to 32 with 34! These are extremely good results for my Intel Core 2 Quad processor. At load, (eg. playing a 3D game) the temperatures are not going to bypass the 55 degrees. The cooler might get a bit dusty after a month but that is not going to affect the performance. It's very silent and its blue led is going to give a very good impression to your friends. In a few words, it...

Review of Zalman CNPS 9700 LED

Illuminating the Night with Light in Style

Advantages: Powerful, lightweight, highly practical, stylish and excellent value for money.
Disadvantages: A bit too strong. Struggles with thicker books.

...for the orange version. The housing is in hard plastic, with a matte finish and is hinged around halfway along its length. It is extremely lightweight and takes three tiny LR41 batteries to power its strong, slightly hooded LED light which sits in the middle of a small reflector which amplifies the beam. The whole hood get-up is vaguely reminiscent of the ?neck? of the alien spacecraft in the ?War of the Worlds? films. The batteries are covered by a slide on/slide off battery cover at the bottom end of the unit, and all you need to do to get going is to remove the cover and pull out the insulating tape that keeps the batteries from working while in storage. It?s the ability of the unit to use such small batteries that contributes to its light weight and form factor and makes it stand out from competitors. A small switch at the bottom of the unit...

Review of If The Really Tiny Book Light

LIGHTLY SCENTED, LIGHTLY BLUE

Advantages: beautiful smell, wearable anytime
Disadvantages: none

...I first got into this perfume about 4 years ago, and it has stayed a favourite of mine ever since. I was looking for a new smell, and being a perfume label-addict I went to Boots to find out any recommendations. The woman at the counter pointed me in the direction of this. I liked the smell as soon as it was sprayed. It is a sort of clean, fresh, slightly light musky smell, but I think smelly a bit fresh air and cottony as well! The assistant suggested letting the smell settle on my skin and seeing how it smelt after it had faded a bit. Even a few hours later the smell still lingered and many people have commented on the nice smell hours after spraying. You can buy this in 25ml, 50ml and 100ml. It's obviously cheaper the bigger you buy. A rought guide for prices are £15 for 25ml, £23 for 50ml and £30-£33 for 100ml. This always...
