I was in B&Q this afternoon and noticed to my amazement, that they have introduced a brand new range of fluorescent batten fittings!! Not just one or two but a good 10' of aisle space devoted to them. 3,4,& 5 foot twin fittings and 3,4,5 & 6 foot single & twin weatherproof ones! Amongst the dozens of fluorescent ones, there were only two or three LED ones.

So what on earth has prompted them to do this, I know not!

Cheers
Nick
