I bought two of these at Maplins, at 80% off. I now realise I'm not

Does anyone know?

Oven lamps are high temperature (300C), and usually 25W or 40W.
Fridge are usually 15W (although I would use an LED nowadays).
Lots of different proprietary lamp bases for microwaves.

None of us have a clue what you bought.

Not too clear myself, hence the question. Described as Eveready
appliance pygmy bulb 15W. No mention I can find of the intended
appliance.


Typical Maplin - no meaningful specification on most things they sold.

Actually they may be useless anyway as they are BC22, which is not the
correct fitting for the fridge. I can check oven later (too hot now)
but I suspect this will be a screw fitting also. No refunds of course
as Maplins are in administration.
