Default Light bulbs

How are you guys getting on buying and or stocking bulbs for your enlargers, contact printing, safe lights, etc?

Just ordered some more bulbs suitable for my contact printing which will be discontinued when the suppliers stocks run out

Fortunately the lamps (ELH 120v/300w) for my enlarger are not affected by the ban.

I laid in a stock of both darkroom and domestic a while ago, enough to last me until LED's are viable and affordable.

Which ones will be in short supply - I'm aware of the "ban" on 100W conventionals - anything else I need to worry about?

No problem for me all the lighting in my darkroom is LED, enlarger heads, safelights, main white lights and print inspection lamp. I must say that the LED main white lights are much better than those 'orrible compact fluorecents albeit at 60 quid a shot, I will never have to replace any of them ever.

At the moment it's 100w GLS and above. Compact fluorescents rule apparently.

At the moment there is nothing available over 40 watts locally. People are obviously stocking up.
