why do you need bayonett?

[Meko]

you can pick up an ES to bayonet converter for a few quid, maplins, electrical stores, ebay

or just nip down to B&Q and get a bayonet holder.. or if you want one on line Ebay or Maplins etc

Beware of some of these - I got one off ebay it was bayonet to screw converter and the damn thing started to melt (and that was in my dragon's viv)

In my sav's viv as the basking area has very high temps (150+) I use the porcelain fittings (maplins).

yeah good point.. make sure they're strong enough to withstand higher temps.

cheers all
yeah
the one that came with this viv has started to crumble probably due to high temps, so want to make sure it's done properly
