I was in a house recently which had small round pin sockets (in the
lounge)
wired via the lighting circuit. They were controled by the light switch
and
designed to run table lamps. Quite a nice idea, one click of a switch &
all
your table lamps come on.

I hope so, I've just fitted such a system to my loft conversion! (Actually
three of them so that the bedside lights can be turned on/off independently
at the door).
