It’s always worth checking the wholesalers lamp skip.

Some clown dumped approx 70 6’ T8 840 tubes a mix of osram tree and Philips - I’m sure most of you are well aware that 6’ tubes have reached an eye watering price of about £9 per tube now. 12 months ago this was about £1.70 per tube. Madness!
I was -2 tubes as the van door blew in the wind right at the wrong moment and took 2 out in rexel carpark!
