Which wattage bulb can I use with your lamp holders?Denise2019-05-13T11:49:40+01:00

Which wattage bulb can I use with your lamp holders?

Our BC and SBC range of lampholders are both 2 amp rated so you can use a bulb up to 60W.
Our ES are higher amp rated at 4 amps so you can use a bulb of up to 100W. Most LED bulbs are now only a few Watts.
Please see our Light Bulbs FAQs for more details and help in choosing the right LED bulb.

The other consideration when choosing a bulb is what shade will be used. Generally the shade should have the same wattage rating as the bulb. So whilst you can rate the lamp holder this could change with the use of a fabric or paper shade and caution should be taken and advice taken from a qualified electrician.

Still not sure if I need 2 or 3 core flex?Denise2019-10-06T14:59:43+01:00

Still not sure if I need 2 or 3 core flex?

When using any metal light fittings you need to earth the fitting to reduce the risk of electric shock. You therefore need to use our 3 core light flex in either our round or twisted braid as both have live, neutral and earth wires. Our 2 core braided flex only has live and neutral wires and therefore is only suitable for use with non-metal light fittings. If in any doubt please always refer to a qualified electrician.
