Back from the 'Smoke
After another few days at the #Occupy LSX St. Paul's Camp, Dave is back in Hebden, gradually thawing out...
Since the middle of October i've been spending about a quarter of my time in London, camping out on the pavement ('public highway') at St. Paul's. My better half, Em, is on site more-or-less full-time, while i keep hearth & home & LEDs afloat in Yorkshire. We are both highly committed to equality & fair-shares so the Occupy protest has made a real impression on us.
Initially i was drawn into helping set-up the solar panels and batteries to power the LEDfantastic lights that Em took with her to light the camp. As things have progressed i find myself working in the information tent, washing-up, helping to develop environmental statements and soon to be spreading the message into schools. Later in the year we hope to be helping Occupy go out on tour when we take LEDfantastic & Weirdigans out on the summer festival circuit.
The 'Movement' has focused the nation's (& World's) attention on the many iniquities that have been lurking below the surface of our modern existence for quite some time... the abuse of power and money that increases the hardship experienced by 99% of the population while the top 1% enjoy unimaginable wealth & privelege. Pay rises of 49% and un-earned bonuses for those at the top... pay-cuts, job-losses, slashed services & support for all the rest.
You may have heard about the protests but not be aware of the issues... if you'd care to learn more good places to start would be The Occupied Times; Occupy London website; The Occupy E-newspaper and The Guardian's Occupy page.
Otherwise you can read about the reality of the protest on Em's blog and occasionally find words of 'wisdom' on my @DaveWeirdigan Twitter feed...

Lighting up Lancashire
A day out to Bolton, fitting illumination for Peter and Ann... Brilliant new flat panel lights... Myself & Joe as impressed as our clients... Peter says "Our bungalow has a chalet-style living room which we have not until now been able to light satisfactorily....
Peter says "Our bungalow has a chalet-style living room which we have not until now been able to light satisfactorily. Thanks to Dave of LED Fantastic, we now have our lighting problems solved with the option of soft LED lighting in the wooden ceiling and bright LED panels round the room providing bright lighting when we need it"
We've recently found a friendly manufacturer who produces fantastic LED panels. They can be fitted flush into walls and ceilings, come in various shapes & sizes, and look truly modern. Not cheap, but definitely desirable...

Progress...
The New Year is a hazy memory and we're setttling down to some work again. We've just received a new consignment of the latest LED strips and are trying to get them listed. There are so many combinations our web-engine seems to be struggling, but watch this space for updates...

Welcome to Our Blog
As of today, Me & Guy are in the office, fighting with the website, trying to enhance your on-line experience. Em is at St. Paul's with the Occupy protest, Billy (paperwork guru) is probably in the woods with his other company, Knott Wood Coppicers. This is our first blog post, don't worry, we'll get some more interesting stuff posted once we get the hang of it.
