[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1105905, member: 175144"] Slightly off topic , offset bayonet sockets in some newish build UK properties, which will not accept the standard B22 lighting, requiring ordering online since there were none at the local DIY stores. One client was highly annoyed that the new bulbs cost some five times more for the stairwells (dangerous with kids walking up and down three storeys) and lasted only five to six months, I was asked to give some input. The answer appeared to be snipping out the fitting's flange (easier than filing off the bulb pin), et voila, old filament bulbs go straight in. (Yes the bulb slants at an angle, making interesting adjustment of the hanging shades, but at least they don't fail inside a year and could last infinitely longer) [/QUOTE]
