Bulb Replacement

[Shutpa]

Bulb under kitchen wall unit requires replacing. It's long (900mm), thin (about 14mm) and rated at 24w. Are these easily obtainable and if so where?

Thanks for that but I couldn't see anything on their website.

Homebase also sell these tubes, most places do

B&Q site only lists stuff for home delivery - I think

That's because their website was written by people of the same calibre that wander the aisles in their stores wearing orange overalls.

Go into one of said emporia with the lamp (sounds like a T4 or T5), and compare it to what's on the shelves.

Then come home and buy one from an internet supplier.

Not true - but their search engine makes it just about impossible to find what they have.

Would the search engine pass the Turing test? It does behave just like one of their employees

Sounds like a Smilite, quick google comes up with these: http://www.google.co.uk/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=1G1FUJD_ENUK289&q=Smilite+T5+900mm+24W&meta=

I had this problem with a customer's u/c mini flu's the other week. There are so many on the market and it seems that everyone manufactures their own tubes so they are not interchangeable.

Bon chance!!

Excellent.

Except...

I've known employees fail the Turing test when spoken to....

Thanks for that, I see that they have exactly what is required.
