Thorn F20T12/CW - from UK! I got a pair of Thorn F20T12/CW at the very end of the dumpster diving season. They somehow traveled from UK to here in Canada! I like how they wrote the Cool White designation in both English and French! I'm not used to European stuff too much, so I can't date it... I would appreciate to know the date, very much!

Wow, haven't even seen a British fluoro before, wonder how it got all the way here.

Interesting how it's English and French too and how cool white got translated to blanc industrie in French, the ones here all say blanc froid.

Oh nice! I think in Europe T12s were already seeing decreasing use by the mid-80s right?
