Light sockets

Something that has puzzled me for years.


Bayonet cap and Edison screw light bulbs can be removed without tools thus exposing potentially live terminals and presenting a distinct shock hazard.  made worse by the fact that you often need to stand on a chair to remove the bulb.   There are millions of these installed yet the regs seem quite happy with the situation.

    Dennis i have some of those cute little 2 pin clix plugs they are doing sterling service for plugging in my colored lamps in my disco room. They fit into a 2 pin 3 way adaptor. I can hear the elf and safety brigade having kittens now Lol


    It's nice to know there are still some around, Kelly. I chucked the last of mine away years ago. However I still have a couple of ancient Christmas tree lighting sets with BC adaptors (that's how they were sold in those days). The plug into a BC 2-way adaptor.


    (BC adaptor?  What's that, Grandad?)
