I made a lamp using an old piece of kit my father in law gave me...
basically it is the bulb holding section of the lamp but with a flange
so you can jam it in a vase or similar to make a lamp...

It will run a standard bulb but not an energy efficient one. Thought
I'd ask a sanity check... I can run downstairs and get clearer details
but wondered if it would be immediately obvious to someone why it would
be so?
