All my CFL's are sitting in a box in the loft, wondering what the hell happened.

'the lamps in this luminaire cannot be renewed' for LED fitments is a retrograde step ecologically and i hope that the ES/BC sockets will go on and on. (Sooner or later someone will crow that they are hazardous- but if someone wants to stick their finger in a light socket perhaps there isn't much hope for them in the long term..?)

I have just found a pair of 125w tubes in the loft- perhaps i will get a suntan this year after all.
