   Why
isn't something similar done now. Have an adapter containint eh
 electronics which lasts for a long time, and just replace the fluorescent
 tube when it fails? 
 Profit.  
     Maybe I'm wrong, but don't you have PL lamps? These are common in 
 Brazil...An adapter you screw on the base, and a replaceable lamp. 
I think i mentioned those. Lasttime I looked, you could still get the PL 
tubes easily, the holders and inducive ballasts are still available if 
you want to make light fittings using them. But I've not seen the BC-cap 
ballast adaptors for a long time.
