Hi, I need some more Edison Screw (E27) to Bayonet converters. My last ones came from Maplin online but they only sell Bayonet to Edison converters now. I've googled but no luck anyone know anywhere online that sells them?

    Both show bc to edison and one is 11 quid which is triple the price of the ones I bought at Maplin.

    This is a genuine question ..

    Why would you need this. Surely you could just buy a bulb with a bayonet fitting ..Or do some special bulbs only come with a screw thread on ?

    To me they show converting an edison lamp to bayonet fitting. Isn't that what you wanted? Thats what you said you wanted - to convert screw fitting lamps to bayonet. Thats how it read. The 11 quid auction is for quantity 10 of them. :rolleyes: Thought you might like spares. :D

    Cheers

    Oh the way you posted it sounded like the other way round.

    In which case Items 360202872283 and 380172247756. Note the second is 11 quid again - for 10 units again.

    You are very kind to keep posting and trying to help. :T Most people would have rolled their eyes and run away by now. :D
    Those pictures are correct but the descriptions are wrong. I think I may have to email the sellers. Oh and sorry for not noticing that the 11 quid one was for a bulk amount, OOPS! :o
