Electricity cost!, this dog turd country of ours has the highest energy costs in the world! 🤣
I do have an industrial fan that’s wall mounted in the bedroom, that’s enough to keep me comfortable over night 👍

Yeah, a dehumidifier, window AC unit, or even a portable fan or ceiling fan would help a lot.

So what is the problem with installing air conditioner when you deliberately want one (assuming you own the house, of course)?

I hate summer in the UK

Too hot. Too humid

Too many horrible flies and other flying insects that are just irritating and if you want windows open to cool  the place down they all come in and end up having to catch them all before bed

Hayfever

No decent thunderstorms

No air con in houses so hot nights are horrible sticky and very uncomfortable.

It’s currently 27 degrees c here, (9:40 pm), 51% humidity and UK houses DON’T have AC! 🥵
Again, yes I hate summer!

I agree, CoolBeans. If I had to choose a least favorite season it would be summer.

It continues to be brutally hot here in SC. My car thermometer said 104F earlier this week. The humidity is just so uncomfortable. I begin sweating just walking from the house to my parked car in the mornings. I’m used to the hot and humid season, but I don’t enjoy it (unless I can swim or stay inside in the A/C).

I would happily move up north where summers are shorter and a bit cooler if it weren’t for all my friends and family here. At least autumn and for the most part winter are pleasant where I live  ;)

@Maxim : Do however you like with your camera. Explore its features to your heart's content.

@RRK : thank you for your opinion.

I will now gracefully exit this topic before it gets in a less desirable disagreement.

Wonder if mainly the cheapest aren't filled by Hydrogen for cooling? Then maybe the seal quality does not have to be that perfect...

Cheaper lamps are probably not He or oxygen filled, so they probably cut some corners as there is no more a need for seal quality until it really starts to crack...

Because you need a few kilovolts at 50+KHz to feed the plasma and it is cheaper to make a 12V inverter. High powered globes are line feed.
