Do you mean the spring rise-and-fall fittings or the counterweight ones?

There are modern counterweight ones at

$GBPShouldn't be too difficult to make one with a pully and a counterweight.

There is a spring one on Ebay right now, Item No 2550777671

I tried looking on lightsaver.co.uk but couldn't see exactly what you want.

picture, unfortunately the lights aren't for me, and the actual lightshade portion thingy has already been decided on.

The ones I was thinking of weren't spring based, they just had a cord which was wound up inside a big ceiling rose like thing and on a hoover like cord release thingy. (I'm good on these technical terms aren't I)

The lamp shade on that is identical (other than the colour) to the one I remember, but the extendable bit is different.

nor me, anywhere, which is why I wondered if they'd fallen foul of some regs.

Cheers,
