[QUOTE="binky, post: 505935, member: 490"] I would suggest fitting 1 or 2 LED as see what see thinks, ideally go for natural daylight as she probably has poor eyesight and these really help with eye problems. Your problem with failing lamps is probably the contact point on the base of the lamp. a/ the contact point on lamps seems to be shorter than old lamps used to be, making poor contact. b/ being ES the sprung contact in the base of the fitting tends to get squashed, so combined with the above point, you get poor contact - using a pair of long nose pliers it is possible to lift the leaf springs.
