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

Working in a school with 8foot fittings I am sure that they are no
longer made. Our electrical comntractors cannot obtain them and County
have replaced one group with 5foot high energy fittings. These produce
more light than the original 8foot fittings. Also be aware that there
are two different wattages of 8foot tubes. We have some tubes but they
are the wrong wattage for the fittings we have.
