Description
A lampholder is one of those parts you only think about when it fails, and this is the plain white version with a shade ring support built in. It takes a standard screw fit lamp, and the ring turns down over the body so a shade with a matching aperture sits level and stays where you put it. At 56mm across and 42mm tall it is compact enough to sit unseen beneath all but the shallowest shade. The white finish keeps it quiet against a pale flex or a pale shade lining.
We reach for this when a table lamp or a floor lamp has come apart, or when an old holder has gone brittle and yellowed and the rest of the lamp is well worth keeping. It suits anyone reviving a favourite base, making up a simple pendant, or fitting a shade that needs a ring rather than a clip. Dry rooms indoors are its home: a bedside table, a hall console, a bench lamp in the workshop. Lamp restorers tend to buy several at a time, and we are glad to sell them that way.
The moulding is smooth and even, with the ring finished to match the body so the join barely reads once a shade is on. Keep it clean by wiping the outside with a dry cloth while the lamp is cold and switched off at the wall; nothing more is needed, and solvents will dull the white. It carries a three year warranty. We stock the same holder in black, and there are continental pattern lampholders with a shade ring in both black and white if you prefer that profile. Lamp and shade are chosen to suit the base you are working with.

Frequently Asked
What size lamp does it take?
It is an E27 holder, so any standard screw fit lamp will thread straight in.
How big is the holder itself?
It measures 56mm in diameter and 42mm in height, and weighs around 30g.
What is the shade ring for?
The ring supports a shade that has a matching ring aperture, holding it square around the lamp rather than clipping to the lamp itself.
Can I use it outdoors or in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means dry indoor positions only, away from splashes and damp.
Does it come with a lamp or a shade?
No, both are chosen separately so you can match the output and the shade style to the base.
How should I clean it?
Switch off at the wall, let everything cool, then wipe the white surface with a dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive creams.
