Aye yeah. The big light is the main one on the ceiling, right? Always has been in Chez Berks anyway

Yeah we have a "big light", which is a complete lie, because it's just a standard size bulb!

Not mine. Smaller lights, preferably not downrights, for me.

Two big lights on my ceiling but they're never on. It would be too bright. I just have my lamp on, which is just the right amount of light x

I don't recall it ever being called the big light.

It was either turn the light on or turn the lamp on.

Growing up we had a standard lamp in the corner and a table lamp.

There's no big light in my lounge, just 3 single-bulb wall lights.

However, there are two hooks in the ceiling that used to have candelabra hanging from them. Hooks, so they could use a pole to take them down to light the candles and put them out again.

As a kid the big light only came on when we went on holiday, with the curtains closed ???? Surely a signal to all burglars ..,,,

A Dutch friend was always intrigued with big light as they never have them but said would be useful to find dropped coins!!!! , he said it reminded him of a Police cell when on
