| Sep 22, 2018 at 20:36 | comment | added | SY6Dave | That's exactly how I had it the first time around and it didn't come on. I'm gonna try once more, maybe the wires weren't all making contact properly? I have no way to test the bulb because I haven't got any other bayonet fittings, so I don't even know if the bulb is okay! Although its brand new so should be fine | |
