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.

Chris.

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

Default 2k1 'fridge' interior

Robert, those photos I sent had some detail that should help on the generator cabinet interior. Much of it (like chorehorse mount) is similar to the HUW so I can help with some of the materials and construction details if you need them.
