B&Q Toadstool - overall view
This Lights of B&Q Toadstool bollard light, dating back to 2007, is very unique in the fact it takes a 22w circular lamp. The only thing that let down is the HF ballast that cold started the tubes. 9 years after first purchasing it, I decided it was time to switch start it, so gathered the correct things together, made a wiring loom, and ripped the old driver out, and fitted a proper Schwabe ballast, and changed the lamp holder out to one with a built in starter socket. It now strikes perfectly hopefully adding years of life to the lamp, and years of reliability to the fixture.
