In the kitchen/breakfast room I have a pendant fitting over the table.
Lampshade and the above bulb. Incandescent with frosted glass - and no longer available. Only looked at TLC but they don't seem to do a LED equivalent. Temporarily fitted a 100 watt halogen which are still avaiable, but it looks horrid. And produces nasty patterns on the wall which the larger Decor lamp didn't, being a much larger light source than the small halogen filamant. The TLC ones also seem to have a visible 'filament'. Not what I want. I want a nice even warm white 100mm globe, as before. Any suggestions? -- *Never kick a cow pat on a hot day * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Any suggestions? Philips Hue. |

You can still get compact fluorescent globe types, such as shown here (with others at about 2/3 way down the page): https://www.ebay.co.uk/c/1940626975?iid=113755805135 Non dimmable, of course, but a very even light. -- Jeff |

Search for 'G95 opal dimmable', for example: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1X-OSRAM-...W/193341977153 (there are some which are 2200K - this is a bit too yellow for my liking, but it's very 'warm'. Probably not bright enough for you though.) Theo |

If you wire the ES fitting correctly - line to centre contact - the metal base on an ES would be just as safe to touch. It's usually the plastic which breaks on an old BC holder.

I'm sure I checked Homebase for them ages ago, before giving up. And today, not even sure where the nearest one is. The big one in Wandsworth near the river is being replaced by housing as is the B&Q opposite. And the one in Wimbledon simply closed and the building unused. But I got the ones mentioned on here mail order, and they arrived ages ago. Not so the LEDs from AnyLamp - got an email saying they had problems in their warehouse.
