Possibly originally from B&Q Cool

Still have one bought there back in 2008 along with an Eterna batten to run in

Spot on, I remember seeing them when I was 12 years old back in the year 2008, back in the days when T12 was still easily available from B&Q Cool

Very nice to see T12 BLB tubes. Very uncommon here. Also interesting that there was in 2008 still a T112 offering. Her in Germany they stopped being widely used in the mid 90s....

@Kev: I miss the days when B&Q were selling GE products cos they are miles better than what we get now especially it is 100% LED Sad

and @Alex: So in Germany was the T12 tube discontinued in the mid 90s? Cos in the UK we had T12 offerings from the well known brands up till 2010-2012 Neutral

@alex: wow this is interesting how Germany decided to phase out sales of T12 earlier than the UK!
