Re: The demise of the fluorescent tube
1100 man Nick, you don't want any low frequency 6' Twin T8 battens next time you're in the area do you? They all work. PM me if so.
I am on the fence with the whole Flourescent v LED philosophy, I have both in use.
One thing you cannot do is have low freq. and high freq. flourescent fittings which are spacially or electrically too close to each other; this can make the latter flicker very badly.
8' x T12 tubes were subject to legislation some years ago which was intended to phase them out of use. At around the same time T12 tubes of shorter lengths started to disappear. I stockpiled some fittings and tubes then, as LED's were simply not very satisfactory at the time (unlike now.)
