12 volt sockets

[Robert Sheridan]

Just discovered in a French chandlery chain that it is possible to get a 12v socket and plug combination which is like a big version of the jack plug that you get on headphones.  The plug fits much more securely into the socket than a cigarette ligher plug/socket combination fits together and you can get a cigarette lighter plug that has a detachable collar that allows it to be used in either type of socket.
