Bank Of Lights

Bank Of Lights

The Bank Of Lights was a major part of the Simon Lederman Show on BBC London 94.9 and still appears from time to time.

It was an apparently real but probably imaginary bank of lights where every listener had a bulb dedicated to them. It was allegedly a major piece of engineering technology whereby each time a listener switched on the radio, their light would light and then they would then get a mention.

On some weeks Simon would offer listeners the chance to change the colour of their light bulb on their part of the bank - so often you would here a listener asking: "Can I have a blue bulb on the bank of lights?" for example.

On special occasions, listeners had the chance to change their bulb to gold for the night.

Towards the end of the run of programmes, there were even rare gold bulbs for sale on Ebay.
