Thorn 2DA16 Mk1 vs Mk2: Packaging The Mk1 comes in a domestic plastic and card affair with lots of text and graphics on the back which tells you how great it is and how much money you will save. It also has some adverts for some of the other lanterns in Thorn's 2D range. I can imagine this being for sale in a shop or supermarket. The Mk2 is packaged very securely in a thick cardboard box with the lamp in its own little packet. Very commercial feeling, like something you'd pick up at a B&Q or electrical wholesaler.

I might get the adapter for sale on ebay right now. Does it open up easily? Would like to see the insides Cool

Opening it would be a one-way trip probably.

Mine is open (taped together atm) as the glue has failed if you want a pic i can do that

Would be interesting to see. I’d have imagined it’d be potted.

Can you take a picture? Smile

very interesting Smile my Mk2's have a sticker with 8309 on them which I imagine means either 9th week 1983 or 9th month 1983, and reading the 16W 2D lamp page on James website, it says the 2D lamp was introduced in 1983, so I wonder if the Mk1 and Mk2 where sold at the same time? one being consumer orientated the other being more commercially oriented?

I'm wondering why the MK2 has the notches on the side. Perhaps it was round to fit a shade or reflector onto it?

Is the colour temperature Warm White (2700K) of this 2D, seeing how it is aimed to replace an incandescent bulb in a domestic setting?
