Lamp batten without switch £2.50

Eh!?

and to make things even worse:

Lamp batten (w/o switch) plus flex and ceiling rose £2.50

ITYM "pendant lamp holder" - a batten fixture screws to e.g. the
back of a cupboard.

I went to Wickes (didn't save anything 1.59 - I could have bought the
B&Q switched version and just left the switch permanently on!)

And boy are these things a bugger to fit - standing on a chair with
your arms at full stretch :-(
