mystery light fitting - anyone know this one?

Hiya

We've just moved into a new flat and found this weird light fitting on the ceiling. Can anyone identify it? We've had a look around the usual shops with no joy and no obvious match. The only ones to look something similar are GE hoop shaped bulbs, though they don't quite match the pin configuration.

lies flat across the fitting with is pins poking in backwards, in which case it's probably some variant of Thorn 2D 4-pin with a GR10-q or GR10-q3 base such as these:

the light is a stick that pokes into the fitting then it's probably a G24 4-pin as shown towards the bottom of the page at

it's a new built flat it's probably an energy saving pendant to comply with Part L - energy conservation - like this

take the above mentioned bulbs also linked from that page.

Hi Again

Thanks for all the suggestions. I didn't know there were so many sub-types of these fittings. I'll have a deeper look at the guides in the bulb shops and try and work it out.

It is a recently built flat, so it may just be the Part L types. There is a sticker on the fitting, which relates to safety BS standards rather than 'please fit bulb type xx'. I'll have a closer look and see if it says any of the types suggested, though I think a G24 type is looking the closest so far.

Cheers again
