<p>Bell are good bulbs as well as is powertech, the eveready are the teardrop type and bottles wont sit in the nordic stands, i have found that wilko's halogen golf ball will work in the nordic bases , they are good for the astro mini's as dont get so hot as a 40watt.</p>

<p>Yes, I've been stocking up with Crompton bulbs; have you noticed (as I think Mark has) that other brands are increasingly frequently substituted at despatch?; and some of these substitutes are poor quality - I've had issues with Polaris too.</p>
<p>(Though aren't Bell pretty good? And you mention Powertech, but are there many other reliable brands?)</p>

<p>I agree that the golf-ball "size" issue is a real pain, too - I've had sellers getting quite stroppy when the fact their non-Crompton bulbs don't fit is pointed out to them.... eventually I've come to the opinion that the only way to do this seriously is to double-check you're going to receive the advertised brand <strong>before you pay</strong>.</p>
<p>(I've started calling these larger golf-balls "teardrops" as they more nearly resemble this shape, btw...)</p>
<p>Isn't it odd - we'll often spend what it takes to get the right lamps, but then buy on price for bulbs?</p>
