Apart from a few, rarely used, lamps that have yet to be changed, I
have long converted everything to LED.


Hmm.. I have about 25 twin 5' florries in my workshop in 4 switched
banks. This may be the moment to do the LED conversion.


I've still got florries lighting worktops under the cupboards in the
kitchen. Can you now get LEDs that would give as even an illumination? If
so, I'd be tempted to change if a dimming electronic ballast fails.
They're probably obsolete now.
