Exclamation Bd probs - light fitting??? & MVB's

Does anyone know where I can get a lightbulb fitting converter ie to change from a bayonet to screw in?
Also if I change over to a Mercury Vapour Bulb is it possible to fix it to the ceiling inside the viv and what would I need to do it? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

Maybe a bit late but Maplins sell the bayonet to screw converters, they're online as well...sorry don't know how to link.

Don't know much about mercury vapour bulbs though...Sorry

yeh maplin, or livefood.co.uk or a lotof pet shops sell the converters...
however some are only rated to 60watt...others 100...so check.

the converters wont be suitable for an mvb though...they require a ceramic fitting.

Anyway, the other thread got all this sorted so you have a link to the ideal fitting now, i thought this quessie was familiar and just found the thread.
