Warm white tubes

[Evans Electric]

Picking up something from Steptoes thread with recessed lights.

Anyone noticed how carp the warm white tubes are ? Started to change tubes at a regular customers offices from WW to Cool white, vast difference.

The emergency fittings my wholesales supplies come with a warm white 8watt tube ,again the ouput is that poor I buy a White 8w and sling the other.

I've always found that warm white looks better when there is some natural daylight available.

Otherwise I use Cool White.

As you are still a young padawan, yet learning fast, I shall forgive the mis-spelling of hassle!

Also we don't call them 'bulbs', we call them 'lamps'.

Hes right 'Patch, bulbs you plant in the garden ! Rule not ruler, our ruler is in No. 10 Downing St.

I draw the line at " Luminairs " though, they're bloody light fittings.

Not in this trade Patch, unless its an age-ist thing, as an apprentii dreadful retribution would follow if lamps were called bulbs.

Blige , you'll be calling cable wire next !!

So you wire with cable

 

[Evans Electric]

Cable ; Stranded copper conductes for carrying electric current.

Wire : Send telgraph, fasten with wire.

Conduit : A duct system for conveying water! ! Eh !! Something wrong there

The answer is clearly not in the dictionary

I'll take your word for it on the light bulb front

 

[Mr Sworld]

Even those evil LX type people call them 'lamps'. Bulbs is a no, no!
