Description
A screw fit lamp will not go into a bayonet holder, and this small white converter is the answer to that. The base is a B22 pin fitting that twists into the existing lampholder, and the top presents an E27 thread ready for whichever lamp you have chosen. At 33mm across it stays tucked away inside most shades, and it accepts lamps up to 20W, which LED handles very comfortably indeed.
We reach for these more often than almost anything else in the accessories drawer. Older pendants, aged brass wall lights and inherited standard lamps very often carry bayonet holders, while the lamp you actually want, a warm globe or a candle style LED, arrives with a screw cap instead. Rather than give up on a shade you like, add the converter and carry on as you were. It suits rented rooms where the fitting is not yours to change, and it saves a good fitting from being written off over nothing more than a mismatched cap.
The white finish keeps it quiet against a ceiling rose or hidden behind a shade, so nothing draws the eye where the lamp meets the holder. To clean, switch the light off at the wall, let everything go cold, then wipe only the outer body with a dry cloth and leave the contacts untouched. It carries a one year warranty. A lamp is not included, and we would put an LED in here rather than anything hotter. If you need a different pairing, we stock the same idea in several other combinations across this range, including bayonet to small screw, bayonet to GU10 and small screw to E27, alongside inline dimmers for table and floor lamps.

Frequently Asked
What size lamp does it take?
It takes an E27 screw fit lamp, and the maximum rating is 20W, so an LED is the sensible choice.
Which holder does it fit into?
The base is a B22 bayonet pin fitting, so it goes into a standard bayonet lampholder.
How big is it?
It measures 33mm in diameter and 64mm tall, small enough to sit inside most shades without showing.
Is a lamp supplied?
No, the lamp is bought separately. Any LED with an E27 cap within the 20W limit will do.
Will it affect how my dimmer behaves?
Only insofar as the lamp allows. The converter simply passes the connection through, so use a lamp marked as dimmable if the circuit is dimmed.
Is it covered by a warranty?
Yes, there is a one year warranty on it.
