Default Re: The demise of the fluorescent tube

From pure curiosity, yesterday I saw one on-line outlet charging £60 per 8' tube (whilst another was charging £15- but a minimum order of 5 units)
Reading between the lines the message from the former outlet was apparent- if you want something this long and fragile, 'phone and negotiate a discount, then come and get it yourself. (..with a cardboard tube from a carpet warehouse) Fair enough really.

I can't remember the last time i shifted an 8 footer without clonking it against something- and wow, are they stronger than they look!
