bulb 'Y' splitters

hello, anyone know what the real name for the Y splitters people use in cfl sockets? ive tried infinite searches on the internet but cant find them anywhere.

if anyone knows the name, or where to get them in the UK please let me know. cheers folks

try lowe's.com or homedepot.com, or any hardware store...

ive checked in 3 and i cant find them! rar

im in england so we dont have homedepot or lowe's...

i realize that; but, you do have the internet... www.homedepot.com, lighting, accesories....

Light bulb socket spliter would be the only other term I cam think of

you're right, i'm sorry; those websites suck...i'm going to send them a nasty email, as i know they carry them, and a search comes up empty.

I am sorry I know they probably have a catchy name but all I know them by are socket spliters.

I bought two at Home depot and I can't get the spliter in my en inch reflector with 2 42 watt bulbs in them. i think 2 24 watts would fit but I hate to use 24 watts when i have all these 42 and 85 watt bulbs.
what I am trying to tell ya is make sure that 2 bulbs will go in and hook up in your fixture.

I found this at Ace hardware.

lol people they are called 'y sockets'..... rocket science my friends

When stoned a phrase like that seems like rocket science. Thanks for the save.

a search on y sockets yields no results though...

will fuck the search, any hardware store will know what your talking about.

except ones in the uk, as previously stated...

us backward chaps.

They are known as Y Sockets. Heard the name my whole life =/
