Hi,
Does anybody know where you can get sockets for mr16 bulbs that have built in grub screws to properly grip the pins of the mr16. I know these exist!
=== story ===
I have 12v mr16 halogen lamps all over the house and in general they are a disaster. They are always failing. One WC this morning had 4 lamps not working. However a few taps or wiggles of the connector and they all come back on fine. Indeed over the last 10 years I have had less than 5 of these bulbs go.
It is always the connector or socket that lets them down. The WC's and the kitchen also have ceiling mounted extraction fans and I wonder if the vibration from the fans could be affecting the sockets.
However in one WC the mr16 sockets had little grub screws in the socket that screwed into the pins of the mr16. These never failed and all bulbs are fine after 10years on use. (going dim but that is another story)
