Default Light bulb help - where can I get one of these?



Is that a typical light bulb you'd find in most places like Tesco, etc or do I need to go to a more speicalist light bulb selling type place?

If so, where?

I'll pop into B+Q and see if they have anyone half sensible working there that might be able to work out which one it is....

Failing that I'll steal next doors

2d 16W 2pin col827 warm white.

any electrical wholesaler, ie edmindsons, neweys, CEF etc.

Try and get a GE or Osram branded item as the quality is far better, and dont pay more that £6 inc vat or your being robbed.

Dont take it the wrong way, but if you're a council tenant that is the bulb for the pandrop lights they fit and will supply them FOC.

Jasesapphy - How do I know which it is?

Christian and Beccy - nah, temp desk untill I sort this room out. It's and "old skool desk" but not an "old SCHOOL desk"

david - you say it's 16w? not 28 or 38 like Jase said?

EIL132 - wish it were that simple. It's my house, I gotta pay for it myself. Just like my back garden flood light that decided to blow up this eve

PastyKing - Fortunately all the ones inside are simple normal screw cap bulbs I can get as Tesco for a quid

Will take it to B+Q 2morrow and see what they say.....

Yes I know your bulb is only £4.50 (plus VAT mind ) but a tenner on postage? I can drive to B+Q for free (company diesel ) and even if I pay a tenner for the bulb I'm still nearly £6 better off!

Unless you do "PF rates" mind

Got to pay the bills somehow

go to a wholesaler or B&Q mate but mind and get a decent brand as most of the rest are just shite.

I dont have anything to do with internal or web sales im afraid or i would have sorted you something out. You'll get it local no probs
