Can I unlock my ‘locked’ lampholder?Denise2020-04-06T15:02:24+01:00

Can I unlock my ‘locked’ lampholder?

Edison Screw lamp holders have a safety feature that mean once put together they cannot be unscrewed. This is to ensure you do not unscrew the whole lampholder when changing the light bulb. Safety essential, but not ideal if you have put it together and need to unscrew it again. However with a little patience, it IS possible. See our video on our below to see how.

Do I need 2 or 3 core lamp flex?Denise2020-10-05T15:28:59+01:00

Do I need 2 or 3 core lamp 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.

Which Amp Lighting Flex or Plug can I use?Denise2020-10-05T14:25:18+01:00

Which Amp Lighting Flex or Plug can I use?

The conversion of Watts to Amps is governed by the equation Amps = Watts/Volts so if you check how many Watts your bulb(s) will be, you can work out what amperage flex or switch you will need. For example 4 watts/240 volts = .016 Amps for 1 x 4 Watt bulb.

Our Bayonet Cap Lamp holders are generally 2 AMP rated and our ES lamp holders 4 AMPS. Our Flex specifications can be found here.

We are not qualified electricians and only offer guidance, which can change. If you are not a qualified electrician you should always get any electrical work you do properly checked & certified.

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.
