Default Re: The demise of the fluorescent tube

Somewhere I still have the first CFL I ever bought. It was second-hand and I used it for 10 years in an outside coach light style lantern.

It's a substantial heavy lamp with a BC base and must contain a conventional choke ballast & glow-switch starter by the sound it makes.
