Default 25w ES Low Energy Lamp - does it exist?

Hiya,

Following on from the existing low energy lighting thread - does anyone know
where I can find a ES 25w (or similar) low energy lamp from? I found one
place, so I know they exist, but they were asking crazy money!

Screwfix produce 25w BC for £3.99, but only go up to a 15w in ES. B&Q have a
20w ES lamp, but it's expensive.

Thanks for any tips!

Alex

They sell them at www.ricam.co.uk at a good price.

How do I know? I ticked the wrong box and bought one when I really wanted
bayonet! d'oh!!

Anyone know if you can get ES pendant lamp holders relatively cheap?

Castorama, Leroy Merlin or somewhere like that. They have stacks
of them.

You should be careful about the quantity that you bring back, though.
More than 90 and UK Customs will think that you are selling them on
the black market :-)

Saw a 30W ES one in Homebase on Saturday, £9 or £9.99.
They didn't have a BC version of it or I might have bought one.

The problem with higher power ones is the heat from the tube
tends to fry the electonic control gear. In the US, they
usually have some comment on the packaging saying the higher
powered ones mustn't be used base-up, or that their life will
be reduced if used base-up. (They do have ones well above 30W
too.)
