Wickes 'fat cap' 40w T12 white

Done a bit of work this one, as well as the banding, the phosphor on the tube is quite a bit darker than a new one. No shields on this tube.
Spent it’s life running on a electronic start magnetic ballast (UK made)

Saw the Cardiff haul, some nice oldies in there, lovely! & Danny, it seemed to happen all of a sudden (either that or I just did not notice it growing old gracefully!
