I love these. There was a hotel we used to stay in regularly and it'd have wall lights with 2 9w pl in. Used to nick the lamps lol.

You should stock up on them quickly, after the UK gets its independence they want to go much further than the EU lighting regulations and ban all CFLi lamps, including the 4-pin types for electronic ballasts, for which there is no retrofit and the entire fixture will have to be replaced!

CFL is dead anyway. People have got it in their heads that it is inefficient and LED is gods gift. I've seen freshly refitted shops with PL down lights ripped out and supplanted with LED after only a couple of months. Flourescent and discharge wouldn't have lasted much longer anyway tbh, especially with big companies who convert everything over to LED so they can be seen to be doing something "green" and "eco-friendly"... Anyway, I'll believe BREXIT only when article 50 is triggered... which I reckon it never will be!

As the MEP who wants to do all these rediculas things is going to be up the road James and the U.K. Government has been completely overhauled I can't see that myself! At least we will be able to contact these people and have our say now!
