Can't be many Clipluve attachments left these days. Cracking find!
lampy   [18 Aug, 2015 at 11:37 PM]
no, they go brittle as hell, i have to slide them off the end of the tube, as pulling them off as you should do pings off off the clips !

My dads office in a 1960s building had similar clip over diffusers in 1 foot sections, the fittings were something like single Thorn atlantics but I don't think they were, I'm going back to the late 1970s and I'd have been 5 years old!

God this is a bloody good find
lampy   [18 Aug, 2015 at 11:49 PM]
I have only ever seen these clipluve attachements in army camps and military storage depots, i have never seen them anywhere else. I think they were discontinued around 1972

(Phil ive pm you back)Ive never seen these fittings before but does anyone remember some one finding some of these diffusersages ago? Who was it?
RobTDCI   [18 Aug, 2015 at 11:52 PM]
It was a civil service office when my dad worked as the much loved tax inspector Neutral Many of the diffusers had been removed and of course with it being so long ago, I'm not sure they were this exact design but they were certainly very similar and in short, 1 ft sections.

Yep I remember my mum used to do the cleaning in a solicitors in Truro where they had superslims with the same attachments

Instant start. Is that what they called Quick start?
lampy   [19 Aug, 2015 at 11:10 PM]
yes, that was philips wording of quickstart. Oddly, some of these fittings have Philips ballasts, some have large silver hammerite painted units made by ' control components London Ltd' not at all sure why these were in several of them
