And you don't even get a lamp.....

Put anything here that's badly designed/made, failed, catastrophically exploded or just an epic fail in a general sort of way.

I have a NOS Newlec branded one with a lamp. £15 if anyone wants it.

If it were a lot of 10 that might be an acceptable price, but not £200 for that. I wouldn't pay that much for ANY bulkhead fitting!

I had a pair of them at the meet, sure I sold at least one of them to someone in the end. Like you, they looked useful when I saw them on eBay, but a couple of years later and I'd failed to sell any of em :(

Yea, they're certainly not the best of fittings. Ok for something cheap to last a few years, but this one is the most expensive wallpack I've ever seen!
