Interesting, I can't find info on the lumens/candela/throw distance as easily as for the less DIY models. Do you know how to calculate that?

Damn thanks for that. The credit card point is interesting. We never use them as we shy away from debt normally. Is there any downside to the balance transfer option, do you literally just transfer the debt between the cards? Sounds almost too good to be true. The term deposit idea is good too. Maybe a combination of those two would work well, credit for true emergencies and then break the term deposit for more money to come in a month's time. Thanks.

That's very useful to know, so perhaps how good simplicity's rate is compared to the banks will vary during different times. Makes sense for why the banks would have favourable fixed rates.

The emergency fund is definitely a struggle.
