bulbs

Hi, I have an old twin tube fluorescent strip light that doesn't come on anymore. The ends of the tubes light up and they look in decent condition. In our old place our lights had small cylindrical starters that usually needed replacing when this happened. But when I opened this light I don't...

What's the worse that can happen? Distant elderly relatives need to replace some old 60W tungsten filament bulbs. Problem is, the lighting circuit has an old dimmer switch and I've read that even dimmable LEDs don't work properly (or at all?) with old-style dimmer switches. The possible...

Hi there, I've got 2 types of spotlights in my flat, one that I consider to be regular, that take regular spot bulbs and can work with a dimmer, and one that appear to be energy saving ones (please see photo) that are very dim and do not work with a dimmer. I'd like to replace the energy...

Hi guys, I have five bathroom downlights. Four are working perfect, but one is faulty. After turning the light switch on, this faulty one is flashing/strobing really fast. It's like being in a nightclub. I've already replaced the led bulbs, but it still does the same. I'm not very...

Hi, Have recently moved into a place and need to replace some AU-GUF4011 bulbs. Unfortunately the main part of the housing is still in the ceiling but the clips with the springs that hold the bulbs in place are missing. Does anyone know what they're called or where I can buy replacements? Thanks
