Just come across a huge range of inkies on lightbulbs-direct.com. All from 40 watt to 500 watt clear and pearl BC and E14/27.

Anyhow, I'm not sure but a lot of lamps are described as "Heavy Duty", is that to get around the EU ban? If so how do they differ, An extra element support?

Yeah I know loads of places that still sell them. They just put "not for domestic used" or some rubbish on the box.
