Love this lamp but its a bit extreme that you need to get an electrician to put in the bulb!! I have been living very dangerously and putting in my own for years!! :eek:

All light fittings must be fitted in accordance with wiring regulations from the Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEE) and current building regulations. We recommend you employ a qualified electrician and that manufacturer's fitting instructions are followed.

I'd say that information is with reference to hard wire fitting of lights to the mains, not for lamps etc that use a plug.
Argos probably have that disclaimer on all lighting via a system generated pop-up.

Don't bother. It's pretty crap.
Dreadful battery life, does not hold charge and the lead is too short.
I ended up getting an official one after wasting my money on it.

Its not the controller - just the battery.

It's a battery and charging cable. Doesn't look like it's the official one either.

I know its not the controller....

That's what I was wondering, surely it would say Mad Catz or whoever made the battery if it was third party, looks official to me!

Quite a few decent bargains in the home section! Just working my way through the clearance sections and will post up some of the better ones later

Nope not the offical one, the name kinda gives it away:
Xbox 360 Compatible Charge and Play - White
The offical ones are called "Play & Charge"

This looks so cool!

Oh Argos, why so much stock available down-country, but not a single one anywhere in Dublin? I WANT to give you my hard earned money.... please restock the cool stuff in Dublin!

Just a heads up in case you didn't know, there is a clearance section on checkargos, it might not be as thorough as going through the sections on argos.ie as there is no pictures, but it should speed up the process of quickly spotting potential bargains. It might also be useful as it will remove ones that aren't in stock in your local store from the list.

Link - (Ignore "all sections", it used to be for shop specific clearance sections they had up, but they removed it )

Unfortunately it seems like there could be a section or two not working though (home for an example doesnt seem to be working tonight, I'll have a look tomorrow evening at fixing it). The others i checked seemed ok

EDIT: Scratch that, the home section is not not working its that there is too much stuff in the clearance section! I'll need to fix how i handle that! I need to limit the items returned to maybe 200 or so
For the moment using small min and max differences works e.g 0-15, 15 -50 and then 50 -100
