Lampholders bases come in various different styles, if you are not sure what style you need then check out below for their explanations.

10mm Entry

10mm Entry lampholders are the more popular entry lampholder to fit on any 10mm fixing point, the lampholder as it comes should not be used for a hanging light fitting.

However, you can add a 10mm cord grip to enable you to hang this from a cable.

1/2" Entry

This lampholder entry is the same as the 10mm, but this has the 1/2" 24tpi entry thread, you will find these generally in older style light fittings.

Again the same applies, you cannot use this when hanging from a cable unless a cord grip is being used.

20mm Entry

The 20mm lampholders are designed to be used with 20mm electrical conduit systems and will screw directly onto a threaded piece of galvanised conduit pipe.

Pandant

The pendant style lampholder is one of the most popular lampholders we sell to pubs/restaurants and retro fitting in domestic dwellings, these have built in cord grips so perfect for creating stunning pendant style light fittings.

Batten

Batten lampholders are very popular with theatre companies for lighting around stages and Hollywood style mirrors. These lampholders have flat discs fixed to them, ideal for fixing the lampholder to a wall or ceiling.
