    My apartment was fitted with light fittings for these bulbs: Sylvania 18W LYNX-DE 840 4Pin

    Does anyone know why? Should they be more efficient?
    Also no shops seem to sell them and online there is a big delivery charge for small orders. Where should I be looking?

    Tried: B&Q, Homebase, All supermarkets, Argos

    they are more often used in lifts and office blocks......go to and electrical shop......yes, they do last quite a while....but are mainly used where the lights are on 24/7.....as i have seen....make sure you get pure white for an apartment.....

    I thought electrical shops would be expensive. I don't know of any in the area but I'll have a look around, cheers.

    Not sure where you are but you could use to find an electrical wholesale shop near you.

    cost approx 7.00 euro
    18 watt double biax, 4 pin, colour 840 which is cool white.
    if your looking for a more softer colour go for the colour 827 or 830.
    there closer to incandesant then the 840.

    Cheers for that. Online wasn't much dearer so may as well order online.
