Australian LP Carriers also used civilian domestic (240V) plugs and sockets for 12V trouble lamps. A ready source of a reliable proven design of plug. |

Thank you Bruce , Chris, Grant , Jordan and Tony for your contributions . Did i miss someone ? Here is a house outlet from de 40’s in Can/ USA . Does anyone have a picture of a common Canada - British truck radio truck / command post or a trouble or reading light with an end plug of any kind please ? Obviously Jordan , you have posted one good example . What does it come out of ?

I suspect they used a standard commercial lamp of some sort, and simply fitted a low voltage bulb to it. I've seen ES bulbs in all kinds of voltages, so that would make a lot of economic sense - if you needed to use it on a high voltage supply simply change the bulb.

Are these the type of plugs used. Seem to think they were commonly in domestic use in the U.K. at one time
