What could be more Christmassy than LED light bulbs?

Now, we know what you're thinking. Here at Ryness Lighting and Electrical (http://www.ryness.co.uk), we've allowed our enthusiasm about LED light bulbs to get to our heads. We're seriously suggesting that you should give your relative or loved one a light bulb this Yuletide, rather than a book, some jewellery, socks... well, anything else would make more sense. Or would it?

In truth, LED light bulbs could be an excellent investment this Christmas. We'll leave you to decide whether actually wrapping them up and presenting them to someone, rather than just getting that latest celebrity autobiography, is the right move. But amid all of the preparations for Christmas, it's easy to get overexcited about those things that offer only short-term gains. Long after Christmas dinner has been eaten and the Queen's Speech is over, you'll still have those light bulbs to pay for.

Like a dog, a light bulb is for life, not just for Christmas, and the right choice of light bulbs can certainly last for what feels like a lifetime. But alas, so many of us still stick to those old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs. We swear that they're brighter, not to mention cheaper. We won't surrender them until the EU almost literally prises them out of our hands - but actually, you would be waging a pretty pointless war that could instead be ended by some fabulous LED light bulbs.

We offer an extensive range of LED light bulbs here at Ryness Lighting and Electrical, bulbs that are compatible with various dimmers, provide the highest quality light and come with multiple year guarantees. But perhaps it's just the headline benefits of this type of light bulb that you really need to know - such as the fact that they offer 100 per cent instant light, the moment you switch them on, as well as that there's no mercury content or UV radiation.

However, there are other advantages of LED light bulbs - very long term ones. We aren't necessarily very good at thinking long term when it comes to replacing light bulbs. When a bulb goes out, it's so much easier to just find the cheapest version of what you've already got, and put it in. But what if it was suggested to you that you could save hundreds of pounds over the years, simply as a result of investing in LED light bulbs?

LED light bulbs, after all, last at least 25,000 hours on average - the equivalent of about 25 years. Their life isn't even shortened by frequent use of the on/off switch. They're about 85 per cent more efficient than their incandescent counterparts - meaning that a bit more money spent this Christmas could save you so much more over the Christmases to come.

We'd like to think we've made a good argument for LED light bulbs being Christmassy - so why not pay us a visit, either online or at any Ryness Lighting and Electrical (http://www.ryness.co.uk) London store, to pick up a few for yourself?

Make the most of the self storage craze with Self Pak

Self storage has definitely become more and more relevant in people’s lives over recent years. After all, we just don't live and work like we used to. Whereas we may have once lived in the same place and were content with storing all of our essentials in our own homes or garages, today, even businesses can be pressed for space. Nor do we necessarily want certain items cluttering your own valuable space in basements, lofts or the workplace. It certainly helps to explain the ever-increasing popularity of self storage facilities and the self storage packaging material that can be offered when supplied by Simpson Packaging (http://www.simpson-packaging.co.uk).

There are many great things about the self storage facilities, which is why they are so rapidly multiplying across our towns and cities. These are facilities that are specifically designed to securely and safely store all manner of items from households such as furniture, old clothes and other unused things that are not often needed but still can’t be let go of permanently. Those running a business from home, or a business that is running out of space can conveniently store stock or documents that are integral to their business operations can be stored or archived for auditing purposes. In the right self storage facility, they will be well-protected while freeing up valuable space.

However, the very fact that people are using such facilities to store goods means that they will likely have requirements on either a one off or ongoing basis for packaging supplies.  It is for such reasons that you will require a supply of self storage packaging material that are as strong, durable and practical for use as they are competitively priced.

Fulfilling all of this criteria as a supplier of high quality self storage packaging materials is Simpson Packaging and it’s Self Pak brand of products. This is a range of products to which you should turn when you require a comprehensive selection of retail ready packaging supplies from storage cartons and specialist cartons and polythene furniture covers to pre packed removal and storage kits. Storage and retail products such as bubble wrap, packing paper and stretch wrap and packaging accessories like sealing tapes and marker pens.

Self Pak even offers branded brass or laminated steel high security padlocks in a number of different sizes and other security items such a cash boxes and key cabinets. Such a broad range of Self Pak self storage packaging materials gives storage facilities a definite advantage in stocking the range to increase revenues from customers. However, we are in many ways made distinctive from other suppliers by all of the other aspects of our service, such as our low cost minimum order quantities and values, next day delivery, direct to client delivery and corporate branding options on many items in our product range.

These are the elements that help so many businesses to best be able to service customers in their self storage facilities. Nor should you expect anything less from Simpson Packaging (http://www.simpson-packaging.co.uk), a company that truly prioritises building a personal relationship with each and every one of its self storage packaging material customers.

A little look at the current range of Kipling accessories

Kipling has become a truly iconic brand over the last 20 years, and as an authorised retailer of its bags since the Antwerp brand first launched in the UK, RTherapy (http://www.rtherapyclothing.co.uk) has long been at the forefront of that rise to prominence. Of course, Kipling handbags have partly acquired such a sought-after status on the basis of their exceptional style, durability and functionality - but the brand also owes much of its sense of fun and adventure to its similarly in-demand accessories.

As you'd imagine, we have plenty of those accessories here at RTherapy, not least among which are the legendary Kipling monkey key rings. There's one attached to each Kipling bag UK, and they're highly collectable - indeed, we even managed to find someone with 425 of them! But fans of the monkeys will also be delighted to know that they can be purchased separately to customise a Kipling bag. So why not help yourself to another one - or seven - this winter? They include the lovely Fur Coat Monkey, Fur Hat Monkey, Games Monkey and more. Yes, before you ask, each Games Monkey does come with its own little medal around its neck, in true tribute to the London 2012 Olympic Games.

But there's so much more to discover in a vast current Kipling accessories collection, including the Iaka Combo, a set of three different sized Kipling pouches, while we also now offer a cool protective skin for the iPhone 5. Or why not pick up the Kari, a large pouch combining a large compartment for notes with two open compartments, a clipped keycord and - naturally - the essential furry monkey key ring? New additions to the accessories range for fall 2013 even include a leather bracelet, made from premium leather and also featuring a shiny Kipling logo. Its adjustable strap ensures a comfortable fit, making it a great final touch to your look, at any time of year.

But if you're looking for something closer to what you normally associate with this brand, it's difficult to look past the Kipling Creativity purse. Available in all manner of sizes and colours, it's the perfect way of holding your passport, keys, money and other smaller items within your larger Kipling handbag, thanks to its zipped closure, main compartment with three gussets and zipped inside pocket.

It doesn't matter whether you're buying a gift for a friend or relative, or are instead simply treating yourself. If you're looking for that little something extra, you really can't beat RTherapy (http://www.rtherapyclothing.co.uk), with our extensive Kipling accessories range brilliantly complementing our existing highly rated selection of cheap Kipling bags. It could be our Kipling-styled A5 or A6 notebooks that catch your eye, our nylon pen cases, or perhaps the very attractive Brownie wallet. Whatever you choose, we'll offer it at the best price and ensure that it reaches your front door without delay.

Turn to Oriel Systems for fuss-free telemetry installation

There's no room for doubt with regard to the effectiveness of remote monitoring systems around the world, in such industries as oil and gas, chemistry, motor racing, agriculture and energy. Certainly, whatever industry a given organisation is in, it can frequently turn to Oriel Systems (http://www.orielsystems.com) with the expectation that it will benefit from the most suitably tailored telemetry solutions. For all of the advice that its engineers can provide, however, it is routinely their ability to install a telemetry system that wins particular plaudits.

That's because the Oriel Systems technical team is always carefully considering all of the vital elements of a telemetry installation so that the client can obtain the exact results that it needs, not just time after time, but cost-effectively.

Oriel Systems is in a position to carry out the right telemetry installation for all manner of companies, due to a combination of the right people, equipment and accumulated knowhow and experience. Certainly, the company's track record in wireless telemetry systems is formidable, helped by more than 25 years in the business, but it also helps that it has a south west England based manufacturing and development facility of the highest calibre. Its installation engineers, meanwhile, work out of two further sites in Manchester and north of London.

The result is that a dependable, professional and cost-effective installation service can be provided for organisations across the country - and beyond - for which a new remote telemetry arrangement may be necessary. Whatever the nature of the client organisation and irrespective of the size of the project, Oriel Systems' seasoned engineers can devise a suitably cost-effective, flexible and scalable system, before the arrival at the client site of its experienced service and installation engineers to install, commission, service and calibrate the equipment.

When organisations choose Oriel Systems to devise and install their new wireless telemetry system, they won't necessarily need to entirely throw out any existing system that it is intended to replace, given the expertise of Oriel Systems' engineers in combining old and new. Clients receive the most informed advice on how they may best integrate older, out of date legacy systems with more modern telemetry equipment, which has been conceived from the start to connect to a wide range of other remote plant and equipment.

Quite simply, when one requires the complete installation, maintenance and calibration service for their new telemetry system - for whatever purpose - there can still be no better option than Oriel Systems (http://www.orielsystems.com), with its many years of business in high technology services and a vast range of areas of expertise - not to mention, many satisfied prestigious clients.
