I seem to remember reading a while back, probably in this group,
that
8ft fluorescent tubes may not be available in the not too distant
future. Can anyone confirm or deny this for me please? I'm about to
refit my garage and workshop and don't want to use these if I'm not
going to be able to get replacement tubes in a few years time.
Thanks

Don't know if they are about to disappear but 8 footers are a
menace, particularly in colder weather. They seem to have difficulty
striking, and get through more starters. Stick to 6 footers
