Just out of interest, what is your base loading Jon ?

I know it was discussed here a while ago and the values varied from

Mine sits around 1KW but I'm working on it. Having a constant

modifier - I'm getting quite used to walking around the house in the
dark as the wife's switched off each and every light :-)
