Ive used ones from SE Qld Woodworking Supplies and I think Jim Carroll stocks them as well. Used to be available in white or black.

if selling your lamps they need to be tagged and tested which was really annoying till work sent me to do the course! some shops won't even look at selling them with out it!

yes you can test your items if it's wired wrong it comes up on machine also spoke to a sparky and with the lamps it's only 2 wires, the trap is extension leads and reverse polarity. the course was $250 for the day in N.S.W DIFFERENT LAWS IN OTHER STATES.I was lucky and work paid for it. but the testing machine is $700 plus its got to be checked calibrated every year!and because I'm not a sparky I can't test R.C.Ds

Check out the big green shed (Bunnings) they should have the components, not as a kit though!!!!
I get mine from the local Mitre 10, as bunnies don't give us seniors discount.

You can buy all the bits for lamps from Woodturning Supplies Pty Ltd in Brisbane.
They will sell a complete kit or you can buy the components . I usually buy the nipples from them,the lamp holder from Bunnies and cut the leads of TVs sitting on the nature strip for council cleanups.
