Needed for good lighting for the video, maybe?
Of course, if it’s not an energy saving light bulb, that’s a different matter. 🙂
This is similar to the time when I wrote a letter to Hilary Benn on behalf of the Lib Dem student group at Leeds University (as he was our local MP) asking him about the climate change bill. I received six single sided A4 pages on how we should ‘conserve precious resources’ to combat climate change!
