I need some of the G5 Bi-Pin Sockets

Would anyone know where to get some please ?

Goggle is not being a friend to me on this one

Ask your local Street Lighting Dept nicely to look through their
'recycle bin'. They look the same as the 2 by 8W MCF lamps used in T8

electrical wholesaler (eg Newey & Eyre).

Go to http://cpc.farnell.com and enter "T5 lampholder" in the search box.
Two types listed.
