The Deltech series 2000 and 5000 battens continue to fly off our shelves.

It is a fantastic product offering unrivaled specification at a unbeatable price.

However, for the client that prefers to be using what is considered a premium brand Deltech might not quite cut it.

Megaman have now released the Malo LED batten, which is set to compete with Deltechs series 5000 range.

The prices don’t really fall in line with the series 5000 but Megaman are a manufacturer who have never been too worried about their competitors prices.

4) 110v 60 watt Work Lamps – Often used in building sites, these lamps are slowly being phased out due to their lack of energy efficiency. For that reason these have become very hard to find now – Click Here To View!

5) Incandescent S14S Archtectural Lamps – Extremely popular during the 70s, 80s, 90s and noughties these lamps are another victim of the EU light bulb ban. The problem being thousands of people still have fittings that take these lamps and love the light they emit – Luckily, we can still supply them…For how much longer, we do not know – Click Here To View!

6) Sylvania H44GS-100M Mercury Vapour lamp – Certainly a specialist lamp, not designed for out domestic clients, this lamp is made in the US, which explains why so many users struggle to find suppliers in the UK – We keep these in high stock for that reason – Click Here To View!

7) Pointed tip chandelier candle bulbs – As already mentioned above, these incandescent lamps have also fallen foul to the light bulb ban. Often used in fittings with multiple lamp, swapping these over to halogen or LED lamp can ruin the look of older, rustic fittings. Luckily we still have a limited supply – Click Here To View!

8) 50 watt MR16 Hexagonal Dichroic Bulb – Very popular for decorative applications in homes and for something a little different, these lamps only go into hexagonal light fittings – Click Here To View!

Okay….So, T4 tubes are probably one of our best selling ranges.

There is some very important information you must consider before buying them though – Especially online where you are unable to physically see what you are buying before making the purchase – Here is where we can help!

We often speak to clients who are unable to find T4s anywhere on the high-street or online these days. The truth is T4 tubes are still available; A lot of companies just don’t want the hassle that comes with selling them though.

The first thing to bear in mind is there are about 25 different manufacturers of T4 fluorescent tubes. To make things easy for you (NOT!) Every single one of these manufacturers make them in a different length. It is very easy to get this wrong and assume that there is only one type of 6 or 8 watt T4 tube.

We have in past had customers unable to use tubes they have received because there was a 2mm difference between the tube they were using and had just purchased.

The best way to make sure you are buying the correct T4 fluorescent tubes is by matching up the manufacturers. This is usually labelled on the tube itself or the fitting.

Hopefully the links below will help in your search of matching up the correct T4 fluorescent tubes in your home or work place.

Eterna T4 Ulta Slim Fluorescent Tubes – 

Very popular lamps, sometimes the code start FT followed by the wattage – For example FT10 = 10 watt T4 fluorescent – More often or not though the code should start N64/

CLICK HERE!

The fittings maybe listed as TUS – Again followed by the wattage For example TUS10 = 10 watt T4 fluorescent fitting.

Replacement Eterna fittings can be seen here –

Robus LED Lytlec T4 Fluorescent Tubes – 

Probably the most popular T4s we sell these tubes are made by ROBUS but the range is sometimes called Lytlec – These are the same tubes but be sure the spelling matches. There is also a brand called Litelec – These are not the same and are a far less popular Chinese import.

CLICK HERE!

The fittings for these lamps are usually listed LSTR – Followed by the wattage For example LSTR8 = 8 watt T4 fluorescent fitting.

Replacement Robus/Lytlec fittings can be seen here –

This is where it gets slightly tricky. A lot of people are currently using cheap imports that actually have no brand markings at all. This is where it is imperative you measure the lamp you are replacing as accurately as possible – And I mean as accurately as possible!

Here we display an unbranded range along with Lyvia (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH LYTLEC!) tubes. If neither of the above tubes match what you need check these out – But make sure you measure them properly – Throw out the old metric system of inches – You need to measure these tubes in millimeters!

I hope this helps – Good luck!

Every year the Fire and Rescue Service is called to over 600,000 fires which result in over 800 deaths and over 17,000 injuries.

About 50,000 (140 a day) of these are in the home and kill nearly 500 and injure over 11,000, many which could have been prevented if people had an early warning and were able to get out in time. In fact you are twice as likely to die in a house fire that has no smoke alarm than a house that does.

Buying a smoke alarm could help save your home and the lives of you and your family.
