This guide is to show you how to install our push fit lampholders in the E27 and E14 ranges.<\/p>\n
Before you start you need to ensure that the stripped ends of your cables are solid.<\/p>\n
This can be done by using\u00a0ferrules<\/a>\u00a0or to solder the ends, this ensures that when you push the cables into the lampholder they will not bend or move around.<\/p>\n If you have a solid cable then the barb on the inside will grip it ensuring a safe and solid connection between the cable and lampholder.<\/p>\n The following components were used in this guide:<\/p>\n Thread the cable through your light fitting so it is sticking out the top.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Take the bottom section of the lampholder and thread it onto the threaded rod, then tighten the small screw inside to lock it to the threaded rod.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Take the main body of the lampholder and push the wires into the holes on the rear of the lampholder, as shown in the image below.<\/p>\n Please note that the Live (Brown) and Neutral (Blue) go in opposite ends from each other.<\/p>\n There are 2 holes next to each other it does not matter what hole you use, just means you could have 2x Blue and 2x Brown cables, however we do not recommend this as a standard installation.<\/p>\n The cables will push in, and you will hear\/feel a slight click, give the cable a gentle pull back to ensure it's secured into the lampholder.<\/p>\n If you need to remove the cable jump to step 5<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n
