Brian, please excuse me if I'm being overly curious but I'm interested why you feel the need to change from your Actulite?

Brian,

I presume you still want to use the same type of light ...Then a daylight bulb is the answer.......

Not sure if you are interested but I use a floor standing Lamp..it's great I got it from Coopers of Stortford it's called a daylight energy saving reading lamp ref D768 for £29.99 plus shipping , you can also get spare bulbs .......

Brian the one you and I got last year was the Daylight Simulation 15W ES/Bayonet. Equivalent to 75W. Mine's still going strong and I've no complaints (apart from the usual )
