And still available at screwfix so I’m sure other places too. The LED ones they supply are drop in replacements with a 1 year guarantee, I intend to replace my garage tube with a 100W in cool white.

I can understand that some ‘vintage’ enthusiasts may want to retain old technology after all that’s what most of us here are interested in but for me good lighting is a nessesity as with age my eyesite deteriorates.
