Danger-Mouse Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Does anyone know the name of this fitting or the type of bulbs it takes? Asked at B&Q today but they said they didn't stock this type of bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Ruler Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 I had those in the kitchen but gave up on them, too expensive and didn’t last long enough. I put different type of lamp holder in the old fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medic1281 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 It looks like a festoon bulb holder to me, but I may be mistaken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggum Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 PL-C/PL-T lamp holder, Be careful to get the correct wattage as they are not normally interchangeable they have a little lug on the side of the lamp base that corresponds with the lamp base.

Interesting, mostly because the fitting is on a ceiling rose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkin Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Best off replacing the entire fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadkill Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 my new build had these, but have replaced them all as they don't last long and cost quite a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmaxphil Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Got those in the workshop, we use 18w and 26w not interchangeable so check wattage on the fitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
