Sorry if this might not be DIY enough, but I was guessing that people
here would have opinions on the subject.

I am considering buying a number of flush light fittings, and the
favourite so far takes a 2D compact fluorescent bulb (2 pin FWIW). I was
wondering if there are any disadvantages I should be aware of. I am
particularly concerned about potential lack of availability in the
future. Anyone know if this style is currently getting more or les
popular, or if the EU is planning to phase it out through legislation?
