Why Do Most Lamps Have The Holders For Screw In Bulbs And Not Bayonet?
Posted by China Sourcing CommentatorFeb 27
We bought an up-lighter and assumed it took bayonet bulbs. Found out it’s screw in bulbs so had to go back in town for a bulb.
Why do they use different types? Most main light fitting are bayonet and people have spare bulbs in for them. You have to buy separate types of bulbs for lamps.

I have wondered the same myself. I have come to the conclusion that it is a a ‘fashion’ thing, where fancy bulbs come in edison screw to assist in the perception that they are special and therefore the consumer can be charged more for them.
