needing much more light, I recently fitted several new round fluorescent fittings to a friends boat...they use the 2D lamp in 10 & 16W sizes.
Light output is really excellent, they boast that the 16W is eqivalent to a 75W filament lamp....& that seems about right.
Bought from asap supplies....BUT : the build quality is terrible- I had to resolder all the lamp connector pads because the cicuit board tracks broke around the lampholder (no other support for the lamp than solder) & the tracks round the wire connector broke with the force of securing the wires (screw-clamp connectors).
Excellent light output, but I'd avoid them unless you can solder carefully enough to beef up the inadequate circuit-board tracks.
