Re: The Bayonet Lightbulb
It's certainly a nuisance to have two parallel standards in operation in the UK. It's not just a matter of the lamp connector, the shade ring diameter is also different.
I first encountered ES lamps in Britain about 30 years ago after buying an Anglepoise style desk lamp from Habitat. I remember feeling distinctly annoyed on finding an ES fitting as ES lamps carried a significant price premium back then.
