LED Fluorescent replacements?

[Polly]

I've found LED Fluorescent Replacement bulbs for sale in the US - and very reasonable they are too 😀

But has anyone found them available over here (UK) ? OR even using them ??

I'd love to replace all my Fluorescent tubes with LED, but really don't want to have to replace all the connecting equipment - especially in the Juwel tank which uses standard T8 lighting (from Lampspecs 😉 )

I already use an LED bulb in my table lamp as a replacement for the halogen one it came with and it works briliantly - if you'll excuse the pun 😀

Just trying to save some energy - and the thought of natural looking glitter gets me a little excited too 😀


Thanks in advance

Ok it's bugging me, what pun am I missing?

what pun am I missing?

Are you feeling a little 'dim' today? Sorry Jonno, couldn't resist


Forgot to say, this is for low-tech, planted tanks.

TIA

I guess I am :/ care to "enlighten" me?

I think the pun is that the bulb is " brilliant "

Yep either i'm not getting it, or its not there. Things like this annoy me to no end!

I'm so sorry to have annoyed you.

It wasn't my intention.

I asked a serious question and was a little light-hearted.

My bad 🙁

Perhaps I should have gone elsewhere to find the answer, but I thought this was the Lighting section of the UKAPS ?

Oh well...

Not annoy me in a bad way polly!! Don't take it that way just when you read things and you can't figure out if your missing something or not.

And Don't, I run LED's there awesome, which is why i came here in the first place to have my brain screwed with!

I have looked into these as well & in fact made a similar post before on the forum. http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=14923.
I guesse no one has tried them?
