Commercial Lamp Supplies News

Every now and then we really please someone!
Mr C had a wonderfull mains rechargeable camping lantern which he had bought from Marks & Spencer some time ago.
Unfortunatley they could not supply a replacement lamp for it, Marks & Spencer did however very kindly refer Mr C to Commercial Lamp Supplies Ltd.
We were able to supply him from stock and we have told the current retailer of these camping lanterns so that his customers will be able to get replacements when they are needed.
The lamp in question is a single loop PL Fluorescent with 2 pins and a square base.
It is always worth giving us a call if you have a problem getting replacement lamps for almost anything, we just can’t fit all the available lamps onto our website!

With the recent increases in electricity prices the focus has been on low energy and energy efficient lighting.

We lost a customer this week, quite a big group, it is always sad but they had been bought by a big company and the guys were told they have to use someone else, as always some renegades carry on till they get found out as they like dealing with us.

The sun has been shinning but we have had several enquiries for infrared heat lamps today, it is odd because they are normally only used in catering during the summer, perhaps they know somthing we don’t about the up-coming weather.
We supplied GE lamps for these orders but we do have most of the common brands such as Philips, Osram and sylvania.
We have some new infra red fittings for warming your patio this autumn much more economical than gas and less dangerous, we will have them on the web site soon.

During this week we fitted some more Philips UV lamps into a sewage treatment works in Dorset. We are very proud of this lamp as we helped Philips develop the range.
They replace the standard lamps in the Wedeco TAK systems.

We had a lady whose chicken incubator lamp had failed call us yesterday, the light bulb provides just the right amount of heat for the chicks she was so proud of and needed to keep warm!

Top selling light fitting this month was the coloured Metal Halide floodlight, the casing is black but the light output can be blue, magenta or most popular is the green. Green light makes a garden look fantastic!

Another good sales week, all targets exceeded and another new group of national shops agreed a contract to supply their light bulbs, we call them lamps in the profession but to the majority of folk they are light bulbs and tubes.

It is the holiday period and many companies are closing down for a week or two.

There has been a big revival in interest in UV lighting lately.
