Numerous places mistakenly sell lamps intended for 230v, whereas what

230v filament lamps don't even exist. Harry as always!

You are of course very wrong.

Nope, it is possible still to buy 240V lamps.

All UK mains filament lamps are 240v, barring any odd specials eg for railways etc.


230V is the EU standard for supply and the supply in the UK is still
240V which of course is within tolerance.

Yep. But don't tell Harry.
