Oh wow!!! 10w fittings of any sort are almost non existant here, fantastic find!

Bloody hell! Like Eliot says any 10w batten is rare but a 10w Arrowslim would be the least likely of all fittings! The smallest I've ever known is the 18" 15w but even these don't crop up very often!

BLOODY HENRY FIRE. A 10W Arrowslim!!! Never in my life did i ever imagine that such a thing would exist! Thinking about it i cant even recall seeing a 15W black ender!

PHWOAHHH. And old style arrowslim is good enough, but 10w is like really PHWOAHHH.

Amazing..... even the 18" 15w were rare!

Thanks guys Very Happy , I knew as soon as I saw it I had to get it and post a pic. I'll wire it up soon and post a running pic. This plus the two Philips 13w fittings only cost a total of A$20 which is around £12.80.

what a little gem

The only 10w T8s we ever see here are flykillers and in stuff like imported vending machines perhaps. Does anyone remember the 10w T8 12v inpection lamps CPC were selling around ten years ago for something like £6?

Very rare indeed Al, Thorn also did an Arrowslim version of the 1970s Minipack in 8 and 13 watt, it was an attachment for the minipack that made it look like a T5, black ended Arrowslim with a diffuser.
Tom   [Nov 26, 2013 at 06:40 PM]
I've seen those too Rich in the 76 catalogue! Opal diffusers with black end caps! They looked very nice!

Davy has one!
Tom   [Nov 26, 2013 at 06:44 PM]
Ah yes of course he has! Complete with original Atlas tube too if I'm right!
Andy   [Nov 26, 2013 at 07:50 PM]
Fantastic find! Cool

Shocked . Wow . Awesome . Rare . Find . Shocked

Have a customer with a 15w version that I still get to lamp now and then, but never assumed they'd have ever made one shorter than that. I don't think I've ever seen a 10w lamp or fitting in the flesh
Paul   [Dec 09, 2015 at 02:26 PM]
I have a 10w T8 in the collection but I think the 13w 21" killed the 10w lamp off...
