Richard did say his had wires and the T5 that Jonathan mentioned has wires exiting the glass bulb and that normally wrap up the side of the glass 'spigot' for contact when inserted in the holder. However, removing that type of bulb can sometimes pull those wires down and that may then look like Richard mentioned he saw.

I've no idea which bulb is correct, but it occurs to me that might cause some confusion.
