[QUOTE="JD74, post: 505868, member: 33487"] Hi all I've been asked by an elderly neighbour to help her with a lighting issue. She has 30 - 40 of the lights in this photo all over her house, which were installed 20 odd years ago She can no longer get silver crown lamps she's used for years, which were larger than the ones shown. https://pin.it/lbOtUAn The problem is these new ones blow too frequently and are costing her a fortune I'd like to go back to her with a couple of options but want to double check with the hive mind of TEF first please 1 - is there a supplier of a "larger' format non LED silver crown lamp. The ones she wants are ES and 100w 2 - can anyone recommend an LED alternative that would give a similar light 3 - if its the LED route, could she keep these fittings and just change the switches? Many thanks in advance for any help offered Jack [/QUOTE]
