Bradley, I just checked through the two hardware catalogues that
we use in the labs here, and they do not carry the sockets that you
need.  Plenty of bulbs, but not the sockets.  The design used here
is bayonet cap (BC) Type B22d.   Our electrical forman told me
that they no longer buy domestic items from catalogues....they
go out to a normal retail outlet.  So, I'm afraid I cannot help you
with the name of a supplier, but if the worst comes to the worst
and you cannot find a US supplier I can go out and buy some and
ship them over to you, though shipping costs will likely be high.

The two catalogues I checked were:
1. RS components......nothing close.
2. Farnell...they have ceiling flush mount sockets, and pendant sockets
which just hang at the end of a wire, without a built in switch, and I'm
guessing that is not suitable........

Thanks, Kevin. We might have a source located... they're shipping us a
catalog. If this doesn't help, I might like to take you up on your offer.
I'll know in a few days. 
                                                                Nice to meet
you... my older sister was in London for 11 years. I visited her there long
ago. I hope to go back someday.

                                                                Cheers,
