I have to say that I have one of these things, and yes there are lights that turn on by themselves, most disconcerting in the middle of the night. So bad in mumâs room that I replaced her âtouch lampsâ. The âexpertsâ tell me that this is â a hiccupâ and not to worry, but then they would, wouldnât they ! 
A bit off-topic, but perhaps entertaining to mention, Ann, that when you mentioned lights that turn on by touch vs lights that go on automatically I immediately thought of my dear late, great-aunt Ted (Theodora), who delighted in lamps that she could turn on and off by sound: sheâd clap once and the light would go on; twice and the light would go off. Aunt Ted was one of my motherâs fatherâs sisters; I think he had nine sisters in all. They were quite a group of interesting, storytelling women. Anyway. Aunt Ted and her lamps. Cheers.
Good job itâs not by sound here MaryâŠwhat with the owls screeching, cows mooing, cats fighting and mumâs snoring my electric bill would be enormous

We have a friend who has a maison secondaire, which is not visited very often and he had a massive 2.000 euro taken from his account as he pays monthly, then another 1.000 euro the following month despite telling EDF he didnât even live there to run up these bills. to date he still has had only half of these amounts after months of calls to EDF
We will be requesting a quarterly bill if possible and cancelling the automatic paymentsâŠjust in case!
Opened a friends holiday home (at His request He is in the UK) after we phoned and arranged a time with âendenis,â to have his meter installed, took 20mins.
I could have lived without one, but it seems unavoidable!

I have used Lithotherapy for some years now Stella because of various âproblemsâ with my house. I always have Shungite and Tourmaline Noir close to 'phones and computers. Always have Tourmaline Noir around the âdead areasâ of my house too, and above all on my bedside table. It works for me, no doubt there are lots of people who will decry this, but I donât care. I am and always have been very sensitive to atmospheres, some of my sceptic French friends now come to me for advice âŠ
Anyway, using stones and crystals is a lot less expensive than 'modern means â ⊠
