Internet news now, and the internet is still a pretty important factor in our lives. And that, according to one expert, means that more homeowners are actually sculpting their homes around their wireless router. Yes, seriously.
"We're definitely starting to see this," said independent property expert Henry Pryor. "It's starting to filter through. Like so much of life, the more expensive houses, particularly those that have been made over or improved, are not only being hardwired for the internet but also have the latest gizmos to give them wireless technology."
And that doesn't just mean creating a shrine to your wireless internet connection in a private room in your home - it means building technology into every facet of your property, from your bath to your heating.
"A lot of modern homes today are run with some kind of connection to the internet," said the expert, "whether it [is] the ability to run your bath before you get home to checking remotely from your holiday home or yacht whether you've got unwanted intruders in your house.
"Today's homes are very much wired to the 21st century, and more and more we're going to see that filtering down to mere mortals like you and I. You can check the contents of your fridge, turn the lights on and off and draw your bath before you've even got home."
And energy-efficient technology such as LED bathroom lights are more suited to being controlled by a computer via the internet than most.
With many councils adopting LED street lighting systems to both save money with the raw power used by the bulbs and for the seamless slotting in that LED bulbs offer to central energy-control systems, flush ceiling lights with energy-saving bulbs are the ideal solution for your home.
