    26 Watt Triple Twin Tube CFL Light Bulb

    I'm trying to find a replacement for this light bulb. I've tried 3 hardware/electric shops but no luck. Any ideas of somewhere that stocks these near rathmines.


    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry original post changed to 26 watt

    Thanks in advance.
    Do you need that specific lamp or one with the same fitting?

    Have a lok here. It's B&Q's qebsite.

    Although only 18watt, this looks like it'll suit your needs.

    allthough they look similar, the base on the one you have linked is differant and the wattage does matter where these types of lamps are concerned.
    an 18 watt lamp will not work in place of a 26 watt or any other wattage except the wattage the ballast is specified for.
    in this instance the only lamp the op can fit is a 26watt tbx lamp.
