A skip?
This size (T12) is effectively obsolete now, having been replaced
by T8 tubes. I also doubt you will find 40W T12 electronic control
gear now, although it might have existed some years back. You will
probably get away with using 36W electronic control gear (I think
both tubes run at 420ma), which you could retrofit into an old
fitting.

Andrew,

Thanks - a nice idea :-)

I was surprised that TLC sell the tubes but nothing to run them in. Are
there any more modern sized colour mathing lamps - or is it inherent to the
technology that they are made in this size?
