    Yes. Saw them for sale in one of the Euro shops some months ago. The light output is very low. I think the are intended for a child's bedroom to give just a comfort level of light.

    If ya want to wire one yourself it would be a cheap option.

    You will need about a foot of 1.5mm flex, a lamp holder, 100watt lamp, a plug top.

    Simply attach live neutral and earth at lamp holder and same for plug top. If plug is not marked the live cable goes into the pin that has fuse attached.

    Live (Brown)
    Neutral (Blue)
    Earth (Green/ Yellow)

    Make sure lamp does not touch the cable or wall when hot it could start a fire.

    If the OP didn't know they exist in the first place, I don't think he/she would know how to wire one!!

    Make sure the bulb isn't on anything or it will burn...
