Title: [0.9 BTC BOUNTY] Find me a bayonet light double adapter
Post by: DobZombie on November 18, 2012, 12:07:59 PM
Hey guys!

Basically what I'm looking for is a bayonet plug (B22) double adapter.

I can find plenty of the screw type(pictured above), but none of the one I'm looking for.

What I need you guys is to find out where I can purchase one, with shipping to Australia, and it cannot cost any more than US$15 (including shipping).

I've got 2 remote control LED lights, and I want them both together, and I can control both with the 1 remote.

I don't want any extra adapters (like 2x bayonet to screw + screw to bayonet)

Here is an ebay search of what I have 2 of...

GOOD LUCK!

Not exactly the answer you are looking for but a solution none the less.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lamp-Socket-Converter-B22-E27/dp/B003GSK5O4

Get a b22 to e27 adapter and use one of the adapters you have found - I am not sure the double adapters are made any more for bayonet connections.

Edit : did not notice you said you did not want this, I think you will be hard pressed to find one of the adapters which will go straight to a bayonet - I am not aware of any.

I found this, for $5.10 + shipping:

http://www.buhl-electric.com/store/p/2427-TC-41A-Bayonet.aspx

Which would appear to be the only one produced, because extensive searching turned up nothing.

They list Australia under the shipping thing, but if you hit "go" to estimate the cost the option to proceed to checkout disappears.
You can get to the checkout with your country listed as Australia, but I have no idea what happens if you place an order with an Australian address. You could try finding someone who carries them who DOES ship to Australia, or you could try finding someone in Australia who would be willing to order them in for you.

My suggestion, if they don't ship to the Australia, is to find a mail forwarding service in the US that does, and get it shipped there to then be shipped to Australia. Bongo does this, not sure how much they charge though: https://bongous.com/

I really tried my damnedest, but bayonet socket splitters seem to be incredibly rare.

you could always do this:

On a serious note, you should probably be careful as to how many amps you draw out of a single socket. I'm fairly certain the lack of bayonet-type splitters is due to their usual use: confined spaces, and portable 12v systems (cars/boats/motorhomes), where drawing too many amps could result in shorts, burnt out electrical components and catastrophic fires.

I sent an email to these guys and asked if they can mail me this item. This was the reply...
I’m sorry we do not have that socket.  We do have TC-41G

This is B22 base
TC-41G

Kind of a strange reply don't you think?

My guess is that that are either banned, or out-of-production due to new safety regulation.

And I agree it's a little odd to respond to a query about a product with another product that appears to have very little in common.

All I can find are this:

together you could make a jury rigging solution with the doubler you already found.
