Where to buy a bulb in UK?

khan_sahib · April 17, 2003, 10:29am

I want to buy some flourescent light. It has similar tubes as they have in energy savers but it has an H-shaped tube. I have tried B and Q. Any idea?

IF you've tried B&Q then you've tried them all.

khan_sahib · April 17, 2003, 2:25pm

lee, it's not U shaped. the way it's designed is such that the middle part hold two tubes making an H shape.

Kamran, i m using it coz i have to else i will have to change the whole light and its covering.
