It may well be, but if smart meters means they can charge by kvA, I'm sure they will just add the extra cost on top.

Well if it ever goes maybe they'll swap the old fluorescent tube for an LED replacement in the existing fitting.

Re: Electric Smart Meters

All I had to do was install the LED tube, and remove the starter.

I ran 2 LED tubes for about 8 years before we had a refit and installed several flush LED ceiling lights instead.
