FAQs

Can I use this lamp holder outdoors?

No. The IP20/IP30 rating means it is not protected against water or moisture and must be used in dry, indoor locations only.

What is the maximum bulb wattage I can use?

You can use any bulb with an E27 base up to a maximum of 60 Watts.

Does this include the bulb?

No, the product is the lamp holder only; the bulb must be purchased separately.

Can this be used with a dimmer switch?

Yes, provided the bulb you install is also dimmable and the switch is compatible with the total wattage of your bulbs.

What material is the lamp holder made of?

The lamp holder is constructed from high-quality metal.

Does it support both 110V and 220V power?

Yes, it is rated for AC 110V-240V, making it suitable for both North American and European power standards.

Troubleshooting

Bulb does not light up

Check the power supply at the breaker, ensure the bulb is screwed in fully, and verify the internal wiring connections.

Flickering light

Ensure the bulb is fully seated and that your electrical connections are secure; check that the bulb itself is not faulty.

Socket becomes loose

Check the mounting screws on the base to ensure the holder is properly tightened to the fixture surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Safety First: Ensure the main power is disconnected at the circuit breaker before beginning any electrical work.
  2. Wiring: Connect your live and neutral wires to the internal terminals of the socket. Ensure connections are tight to prevent arcing.
  3. Mounting: Secure the lamp holder to your desired mounting plate or wall fixture using the appropriate hardware.
  4. Compatibility: This device is compatible with all standard E27 base bulbs. Do not exceed the 60W maximum load.
