• Clearance Stock

A page on our website dedicated entirely to the consumpion of energy by normal bulbs whilst making our lamps look great. Keep the bulb burning bright, defy the ban and stock up for years!

So onto business, what bulbs are banned I hear you ask! Well the government has produced pages and pages of unintelligable nonsense so that the average person wouldn’t be able to understand. Take a look if you don’t believe me. Well I’ve spent the time translating it for you and the answers are as follows:

Incandescent/GLS products

PEARL

Click on the image below to be taken to the pearl bulbs that will be banned:

It is very important to remember that as soon as September 2009 hits all pearl incandescent & GLS products are banned. We will then only be able to sell bulbs that we have in stock until depleted.

CLEAR

Click on any of the numbers in the table below to see which clear bulbs are banned:

Sep. 2009* Sep. 2010 Sep. 2011 Sep. 2012 Sep. 2013 15W 15W 15W 15W BAN 25W 25W 25W 25W OF 40W 40W 40W 40W ALL 60W 60W 60W 60W CLEAR 75W 75W 75W 75W GLS 100W 100W 100W 100W BULBS   = banned       = not banned yet
