Default Re: Anglepoise bulbs

I have known certain types /makes of 'plastic' bayonet cap bulb holders to produce the most awful smell if they are substantially overheated . . . often caused by the (erroneous) fitment of an incandescent bulb of 100-W or above.
ISTR that that smell to be somewhat reminiscent of rotting fish Once smelt ... never forgotten!
