u can still get the tubes but there phasing them out and the tubes are 15 quid each when u can get them its cheaper to change the fittings to 6ft low energy

Thanks brightspark. Bet the company that sold me a complete new fitting a few years ago knew that was going to happen too.
What's 6 feet low energy please? Got ny links?

6ft is also on its way out apparently. the low enegery 6ft is the skinny tube which they all are so you only looking for a standard fitting

most places are fitting low energy t5 tubes and fittings the biggest they go up 2 is 5ft http://www.lightbulbs-direct.com/f54w-t5-865-ho-daylight/p2503/

Thanks madkayaker, but your talking to an idiot, do I get a low energy tube to replace a 125w tube or am I looking for a couple of maybe 4ft complete light units to replace it?

new fitting. you can run two 5ft fittings for less power than 1 8ft
