Farewell Tribute to European Fluorescent Lighting 

Nice video

I wish i had a fixture Like this, i want to convert to preheat

These fluorescent lamps you show come from the city where I live. Poland, Piła. The factory is now called Signify, not Philips, but it produced under the Philips and Piła brands. Piła were the same, but cheaper, dedicated to the Polish market. My favorite color 850 (natural daylight) was produced under the Piła brand. Previously, before 1989, it was a state-owned factory and produced Polamp fluorescent lamps (my last video). It was sold to the Dutch in the 1990s for very little $, and now, thanks to the European Union, it will be completely liquidated. It is still the largest employer in the city. If we talk about European fluorescent lamps, we cannot miss out on Osram, Sylvania, Narva (Germany), Mazda (Philips for France), Nordeon, ITT Claude (France), Thorn (UK), Aura (Sweden), Leuci (Italy), Tungsram / General Electric (Hungary), Tesla (Czechoslovakia before 1993), Razno, Alinex (USSR). There are definitely more smaller brands, but I don't remember all of them.

This is really sad. when the cases of the tubes will go on sale, I will buy cases of all wattages and all colors to have. maybe, in distant future I will be able to sell the tubes quite expensively a piece to people who miss old technology and nostalgia. who knows.

My bedroom has a analogue fluorescent tube

It would have been cool at the end to put one 2700K and one 6500K lamp in fixture so we could see the difference in color temperature between the two extremes.

Not all fluorescent lamps are banned. Specialised tubes will be still available, like the UV-B/C tubes. UV-B used by reptile keepers for their pets and UV-C used for disinfection. The following halogen bulbs are banned too: G9, G4, GY6.35.

Where the osram lumilux tubes on 36w? They may to be too in this video and there tubes are also from European market. I think in post soviet countries in 2023 which is not in EU the fluorescent tubes can may go down to history too, in Russia it was in 2020, and in 2023 the end of this period already may be as for whole, also in UK and Switzerland, and CIS countries
