Homebase circular mirror woes...

Typical 40W 40cm Circline fluorescent tube (click to enlarge)How hard can it be to replace a 40W circular fluorescent tube these days? Anyone would think they were obsolete. In this article I outline choices in colour temperatures and suggest a great source of replacement tubes.

I struggled to find a new one but eventually a couple of tubes were ordered online and delivered in a day or two. As I explain, different colour temperatures enable you to choose the best light suited to your needs.

But this Homebase mirror was even more complicated to fix, when I had to source a new inverter as well, as you can read in http://alanwinstanley.squarespace.com/consumer-stuff
