Default Re: The demise of the fluorescent tube

Fitzgerald make LED fluorescent-lookalikes these days. I remember Fitzgerald being on Nationwide or some other 'magazine' programme. Made in Cornwall.

As for me, the 8ft's at work, which were salvaged with tubes from a large pottery they were demolishing at Meir, have used all their yellow Thorn tubes and are now on my last stock of £2.50/ea Philips daylight tubes. Once they're gone, I'll have to splash out on new fittings. I'm sure my re-use of the battens has me in carbon-credit still.
