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 themAnd 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!tim[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 shite!
