Product Information
Full details
The Dencon BC HO Skirt T1 Batten Lampholder is designed for professional electricians and homeowners performing DIY lighting repairs who need a dependable, secure connection for B22 base bulbs. Its primary strength lies in its deep base design, which provides extra room for wiring during installation, making it easier to work with in tight ceiling spaces. One minor caveat is that it is constructed from synthetic material rather than heavy-duty metal, so it should be handled with care during the installation process to prevent overtightening the housing screws.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the power supply is isolated at the consumer unit before beginning. Use the three-terminal block to secure your Live, Neutral, and Earth connections. The deep base housing should be screwed into a compatible ceiling mounting block. For care, keep the unit away from extreme heat sources. If you notice discoloration of the plastic housing, inspect the lamp wattage to ensure it does not exceed the recommended limit for the fixture. Cleaning should be done only with a dry, lint-free cloth; never use chemical solvents or wet cloths as they can damage the synthetic finish.
