I was going to say the bayonet type wasn't older just has begun taking over somewhat in the UK market in recent years.That ones an ES (screw type) also available with older bayonet type
The I went and checked. Edison patented his screw fitting until 1881, so it's a pretty old design. But you were right and I was wrong: the bayonet cap was developed by St George William Lane Fox-Pitt and his Brush Electric Co in the 1870s, so beat the Edison Screw to it.0 -
I've messed up my cooker hood lights by trying LED's, I think I've messed up the transformers. I bought halogen again on line and they work, but erratically. Time to phone my friendly local electrician I think!£216 saved 24 October 20140
