I bought a pair from Toolstation for the same price last week, looked pretty much identical to the ScrewFix lights in the pictures...

Only one problem... When I opened the box, the stands were blue!

I know it sounds really ----, but I took them back! Yellow makes much more sense on site (to me anyway!)
 
The problem I have experienced is the slightest bump and darkness descends

There are energy efficient lamps available that can be swapped out for the existing tube that are adaptable
 
This can be said about any of these lamps to be honest, I used to end up kicking my floor type ones all around the place. The difference with these I think is you're practically blinded by the time you get close enough to bump them lol

I was in the loft earlier this afternoon and had to move them back down the the first floor, I didn't turn them off until I got to the loft hatch and they didn't blow like I was half expecting :)
 
I had some of them years ago but now moved on to the ones with a 2d florry in only 20 odd quid and no heat last longer and dont break lamps when you drop them,screwfix, toolstation and most places sell them and they are yellow.
