When I was a kid, we used to have a connector on the end of our Christmas lights that was a bayonet fitting, so we just plugged them into a table lamp (took the bulb out and replaced it with a string of Christmas lights).
I would like to do the same thing now, so we can put some lights up in our porch, and just plug them into the porch light fitting. (The porch is fully enclosed, so no 'IP' ratings to worry about. I would run an extension lead out there, but all the hall sockets are the opposite side of the hall, so the cable would be strung across the hall. (Could put some tinsel on it I guess
)
I would be looking for an Edisson Screw variety.
I have had a trawl about on the Web, but I can't find what I want, partly I think because I cannot think what it would be called.
Does anyone know if such a thing still exists?
Thanks in anticipation.
