BLT Direct - light bulbs, lamps and tubes
Ah the summer of 1977 - the Queen’s Silver Jubilee, street parties, punk rock, and the release of Debby Boone’s hit “You Light Up My Life”, the first and only song ever written about light bulbs.
It’s not hard to see why Ms Boone was keen on light bulbs, they’re so endlessly fascinating. And let’s face it they do indeed light up our lives - our homes, offices, factories, shops, museums, airports, football stadiums and just about every other building. Plus our cars and the streets they drive on. The alternatives are few; candles are certainly romantic but they’re not big on convenience.
Light bulbs are so ubiquitous you barely think about them, until one suddenly goes pop, and you need a new one. If it’s a basic bulb then you can probably get one without too much trouble, but many lights (especially in workplaces) are rather less-than-standard.
Fortunately help is at hand. Local firm BLT Direct are a leading UK supplier of light bulbs, and fluorescent tubes, and energy saving light bulbs, and halogen light bulbs, metal halide lamps, LED light bulbs, sunbed tubes, solar lights, fans, heaters and almost 10,000 other products. They have been trading online since the early days of the Internet and sell to customers around the world, offering a staggering range of products at the kinds of low prices you can only find online. They are now highly regarded within the industry and are rated 5* on Trustpilot with over 2500 reviews.
“I needed some fluorescent fittings with daylight tubes, not available locally. Found BLT website on line which had exactly what I needed . Very good value for money and delivered within 4 days. Would definitely use this company again.” - Richard Churn
BLT Direct’s comprehensive website is almost guaranteed to have the lighting solutions you need, whether it’s a £5 domestic light bulb, a £45 metal halide bulb for a demanding environment, or a Tiffany-style table lamp shaped like a tortoise.
For non-standard bulbs use the handy Bulb Finder on the website to narrow down your search from the thousands on offer, many of which you probably didn’t even know existed. Want a 5W colour-changing bulb with bayonet-fitting? Or a 100W blue screw-in bulb? Search – select - no problem. Every item on the site has full technical specs so you can be sure you’re buying the right bulb for your requirement.
