Hi all you know the adapters that allow you to turn a bottle into a lampholder? Often featured on Blue Peter etc. in the 1970's. I'm after one of these but can only find them with pre-fitted mains lead and plug, which is not what I want.
Any sources of the 'raw' adapter with no cables attached?
Thanks, J^n
I managed to get a bulkhead mounted sbc lampholder from amazon.
Added in my own wire...you can probably bode a standard lamp holder into a bottle top - most screw in with a double ended threaded adapter and you can embed one bit of the thread in e.g. car body filler..
E.g. here is a complete kit, but nearly all the bits can be purchases separately
Thanks for the various pointers guys.
I am replacing one of the white plastic style, and had considered the brass style (it would fit better aesthetically with the current lampholder), but couldn't find one with a switch. That also looks like it has a variety of screw adapters; I am not sure if the current one is metric or imperial.
Cheersm J^n
