I think 5ft tubes are still stocked by B&Q etc. They come in their traditional paper sleeves that offer almost zero protection and must present a H&S issue with broken glass (not to mention Hg)
Contrast that to this LED equivalent I recently ordered. It's comparatively unbreakable, yet it comes in a stout board tube.
