Even worse, it comes with a corn cob lamp fitted in an E40 to E27 adapter. Oh and delivery is only another £30!!! Hard to believe it has 2 watchers! :o

They say it looks good in all applications. I suppose it would look good on our landing with all 7.5' head room.

I'd have thought a salvaged one for a more sensible price of around £20 would look better. That way, every time you walk up / down the stairs you won't be thinking 'why did I pay that much for it' lol

Nah I'd be wondering why have I bought a light that hangs down to shoulder height.

These are probably the same ones that someone has purchased cheap and are now trying to sell on for a massive profit - many piss takers on eBay like that....

Or you could buy this genuine, unmodified version for £25! Much more like it!
