Nice scores dez especially that north light and Osram. Only 2ft 40w osrams ive seen have been tungsram/ge made never seen a philips / osram one!

Thanks Danny the date code on the "Osram" is N928, there is actually a guy (hrconsult9) on ebay selling case loads of these Philips Osram 2ft 40Wers (not the seller i got the above lot from tho) i think some of you guys have bought from hrconsult9 before (apparently does not know how to pack and had a habit of mixing 2ft 40W and 2ft 20W tubes in the same case LOL)

No prob. Date on the osram is 02-99 a nice era for these osrams!. Lol yes i was going to buy some lamps from him but thought twice when i heard peoples problems!

Re 'hrconsult9' I've had several cases of tubes from this seller - 2' 40w/23's, 2' 40w/25's and 2' 20w/23's. Packaging is a little sparse, but to be fair, nothing has arrived broken. He did mis-send some tubes as standard white rather than natural, but it was soon sorted and he didn't want the incorrect tubes back. To be honest, for £25.99 delivered, that's a steal for 2' 40w T12's, I've seen them, on eBay at that price PER TUBE! If you run anything that needs a 2' 40w tube, these are a must. He seems to have loads, but that's not going to last forever - anyone with lanterns that take this tube would do well to get some! All his Osram branded tubes are Philips made (as per the middle tube in picture). Just ordered myself another case

Yeah I was thinking of ordering a case my self (may still do at some point) but then i spotted this bundle I just tested the North light and it works lovely too

Cool! This is a good score!

Oops, just done a stocktake on my 2' 40w T12 supply and I have over 100 already. Maybe I didn't need that extra case after all!!

Super bargain for just a tenner! I have a couple of those naturals and northlights, they are lovely tubes.

My next box of these arrived today, all intact and he sent the correct lamps

Nice lamps, and what a good deal on them too
