Indeed.

There's just a certain something about the light from those little tungsten filament bulbs and the impure colours you get from filtered white light, as opposed to the narrow spectrum from LEDs. Or maybe that's just a modern version of a candlelight fetish!

There can't be very many surviving examples of these things, so treasure it!
