No, last of the decent pop packs were the generation before these with the oval lamoholders and twist lock cover plate. These are ok gear and lampholder wise, but the shitty thin steel lets them down badly. If the ceiling isn't flat, these bend and twist like a bastard and do the screws up just a little too tight and the thing will fall down and smack you in the face. That said, probably one of the better fittings still made, which says a lot really.....

Agreed. These ones with the friction retained cover aren’t my favourite.

Did the early 1990s ones have the pop on plate too

They did, those came in as soon as they stopped making the oval lampholder version.

These were ok though you could install them. They got worse when they went from having the green stuff inside to just white they got thinner

Yes I'm pretty sure the later white internally painted ones are thinner. I've done some very unscientific testing of this before, by grabbing each type at one end and seeing how much they twist comparatively, the later type seemed to twist more
