Just move into my recently built (rental) flat and what do I find but half of the lights aren't working.
On inspection, it's that stupid new fangled three point bayonet fittings.
Had a look for them:
Don't know what they're called (BC3 I discovered)
No-one sells them
And when you can find them they are stupidly expensive.
Not surprising the out-going tenant didn't buy new ones.
I shall be changing the lamp battens [1], but what did the previous guy do for light?
On one bulb he'd managed to friction fit a GU10 halogen bulb, yeah really safe!

[1] I stupidly announced to the agent that I would likely do that. Now I won't be able to get away with leaving the change in situ expecting it to go unnoticed as if they know that I have played with the electrics they will want a sparks to check it, costing more than I have saved on bulbs - Oh s**te!
