Batten lampholders

Factual Questions
1

UK based, which might affect the answer. I’ve got a couple of these on the ceiling in the kitchen. I’d like to find a nice, simple globe (or similar) that clips over a batten lampholder without me having to take it off and wire in a new fitting.

Not a huge problem, as I’ll be getting the kitchen done at some point and they’ll be replaced with tracks. Still, there must be some sort of covering available, despite what the lady in Focus told me :slight_smile: .

It used to be possible to get a lampholder adaptor that plugged into a batten lampholder.

The adaptor has a flex running from it that can be used for another lampholder which you can then mount a shade on.

Another way would be to use one of those big round energy saver type globe bulbs.

Osram do them, you should find them at pretty much any home improver outlet.
