Help finding a really cheap 13A socket.

[RF Lighting]

Hi chaps.

I am currently looking for the cheapest 13A twin switched socket available. Not bothered if it is online or in a shop.

It needs to comply with BS1363, but I'm not bothered if it is branded or not, or what it's build quality is like.

I only want one. I've already found one on fleabay for £1.95 including P&P. Can anyone beat that?

Thanks.

Any advance?

Are you forgetting shipping in this quest?

Making a point about how easy it is to get a BS? Wilkinsons does some good deals. Then there are the 99p shops.....

I've got some manky old paintstained Wickes ones I was going to punt at a car-boot sale for 50p each next year....

You are going to rig it up to pass a sustained current of exactly 13 Amps and see how long it takes to suffer thermal damage

....and I claim my five quid

He just wants one for his house...

Only if he's rigging it to a streeetlamp. Think of the electric he'd use!

It doesn't have to be at 230V...

You could use a lower voltage but (I'm sure someone will correct me) my recollection of BS1363 states

"designed to carry up to 250 volts AC, 50 hertz"
