60 Watt Spot Lamps.
Don't know if anyone else is having trouble buying 60 watt spot lamps from Wilkinsons but our two local stores have completely stopped selling them

I have been worried about this issue for some time now. What will happen when the normal bulbs are all gone and we are left with the eco friendly ones that don't give off any heat? Luckily I have a local independent DIY store that still has a suply but that wont last forever.

We also buy them in bulk from a local store but when stuck I've used these
http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Ligh...or+Lamp/p94263 and they give off ample heat and always seem to have them in stock.

Why didn't I see that? Maybe I'll cancel the order and re-order.
