Lyyt | Lamp Socket Converter | E27-B22 Edison to Bayonet

Sometimes you order stuff , not realising it is being shipped from Chine. ( I once bought a mini iPad from Apple Shop which I ordered for my wife with a personalised message engraved on it. It was a worrying time waiting for it . When it arrived ( just in time ) I was surprised it was direct from China with Customs Label still on package. This little gem above though was with me in a couple of days. I needed it because I had bought a sensor triggered security light that had a screw fitting for bulbs , not our usual UK spec. So impressed I have ordered many more As to Performance it does exactly what's on the tin. I keep quite a few now of these, and even more or the other ones that convert our usual UK bayonet home sockets to screw--so B22 to E 27 conversion -- that open up all sorts of new opportunities with lighting especially continental spots, high illuminance, and, daylight bulbs etc. So choose the light you want and fitting type is no longer an issue. Simple idea but top item

It worked for me

Bon produit, simple d'utilisation et s'adapte parfaitement. J'ai équipé toute ma nouvelle maison avec mes anciennes ampoules. Cela m'a permis de faire des économies et de ne pas racheter un stock complet d'ampoule.

5 stars as this is exactly what was ordered. I did not know such a thing existed and have so many spare pin bulbs and the screw ones are less available in my house so this solves two problems. But the question remains, why in the UK do we have two different styles of fitment when they both do the job well. Answers on a postcard please.

In North America, standard light bulbs are screw in. In the UK, for some reason, bayonet is also available. I have one bloody screw in fitting on the porch light. This easily solves that problem. Now can use one of the many spare bayonet style light bulbs I have. Only gripe is that the catch on the adapter is quite a push down. I felt I might break the light bulb I was pushing into it. Could have done with being a millimetre or two less deep. For a pound and a few pennies, this is a worthwhile gadget.
