The haul, so many 8 foots! 14/06/2017
Here's the haul from yesterday. Must be close to 100 8-footers, mostly GB Osram 125w warm whites along with quite a few Philips 125w warm whites.

Also a good selection of other goodness, a box of GE 20w kolorite, a box of GB Philips 2ft 40w/25 Natural, a box of GB Philips 20w/29, a box of 13w/23 Osram made in Italy, and a box of randomness mostly 4ft T8 & T12!

Should keep my family going for about three generations lol! Probably gonna sell a few and swap some at the meet sometime

Amazing find!!! What was left in the way of 65W?
fluorescent   [17 Jun, 2017 at 12:25 AM]
There was a partial box of newish (well, new enough to be 'CE' marked) Osram 65w/23's, I left them as I have tons of 5-foot tubes and they mentioned they wanted to keep most of the 5-footers anyway? There was no 6-foot tubes either which I though odd, perhaps they use them also so had stashed them away!
Kev   [17 Jun, 2017 at 10:43 AM]
That's a shame I would of liked a few boxes of 5s to keep the fire stations going

I've still got two boxes of Philips 65w/33's spare, shame you're all the way down there!

Yeh you did bloody well with that lot quietly! What were the lamps with the brown parcel wrap on the ends?
Keiron   [09 Aug, 2017 at 09:57 AM]
Although tubes are not really my main interest I had to buy an 8 footer from a local lighting shop for a fitting at work, I nearly dropped through the floor when they wanted over £20 for it!

@Kev, GB Philips 125w/29. These had some tags taped on, said something like 'tested good spares - RAF'. Two in the middle of the bundle were smashed sadly

@Keiron, The price of 8' tubes has sky-rocketed, due to the EU T12 ban I think. They can be found cheap still but harder to find and usually have to buy a job lot Wink

The 8 foot fittings were in pelmets that faced upwards, since new owners have taken over the place I pressume the fittings are still up there but they never get used, I know one of them had to be disconnected as it was tripping the MCB.

Get it bought, will only need a replacement ballast and 8 footers are cool Cool
Keiron   [09 Aug, 2017 at 04:11 PM]
There are probably about 10 of the 8 foot fittings left up there, getting to them now would be a job & half though as since they have become obsolete & the place has had a refurb all the new cables have been chucked in the pelmets on top of said fittings :-/
