Re: The demise of the fluorescent tube
All of the 6' in my workshop are fixed to the roof with the result that the whole place reverberates at 50Hz. It's possible i would miss this if it wasn't there any more, which might explain my reluctance to replace them. That, and the fact that for 6 months of the year the warmth that they emit is useful.
The few Fitzgerald units i have are rather nasty and flimsy, whereas the Thorn units up to the mid 80's are pretty good. The end-caps are made to last. I am glad i salvaged them.
