Sockets - Adapters

Lampholders are essential components in lighting systems. They act as a connection between the bulb and the power supply, ensuring safe and reliable contact. Lampholders are available in a variety of sizes and types, suitable for different types of bulb. Common types of sockets include :

• E27 (screw): Suitable for standard size screw-in bulbs.
• E14 (small screw): Used for smaller bulbs, often in desk lamps or decorative lighting.
• GU10: Specially designed for spotlights and LED bulbs.
• G9: Used for small halogen and LED bulbs.

Adapters

Adapters are practical accessories that allow you to convert a lampholder from one type to another, giving you greater flexibility in your choice of bulbs. They are useful when you want to use a bulb with a different type of socket to the one you currently have installed. Here are some examples of common adapters:

• E27 to E14 adapter: Allows you to use an E14 bulb in an E27 socket.
• B22 to E27 adapter: Converts a B22 socket into an E27 socket.
• GU10 to E27 adapter: Mounts an E27 bulb in a GU10 socket.
• Universal adapter: Designed to work with a range of sockets and bulbs, providing a versatile solution.

Features to consider

• Materials: Sockets and adaptors are made from heat and electrical resistant materials such as ceramic, plastic and metal.
• Compatibility: Always check the compatibility of the adaptor with your bulb and socket to ensure safe and efficient installation.
• Safety standards: Make sure the products comply with current electrical safety standards to avoid any risk of fire or electric shock.
