Description
A small white converter that lets a fitting made for candle lamps take a full-size screw lamp instead. The E14 base threads into the existing lampholder and the E27 socket on top takes the lamp. At 33mm across and 68mm tall it stays close to the lampholder rather than standing proud, and the plain white body goes largely unnoticed against a white flex or tucked inside a shade.
It answers a common problem: the fitting you like was made for the smaller screw lampholder, and the lamp you want is the larger one. Reproduction wall lights, older table lamps and small pendants often turn up with a candle lampholder, and replacing a good fitting for the sake of a lamp is a waste. We stock it beside our lampholders and flex for that reason, and it is what we suggest when someone has found the right shade but the wrong thread. It suits anyone keeping an older fitting in service, or standardising so the lamps match across a room. Low-wattage LED lamps suit it best.
The body is white throughout, plain and unfussy, so it reads as part of the fitting rather than an addition. Isolate the circuit before you change a lamp, and keep the contacts dry; dust lifts off the white body with a dry cloth and nothing else. It carries a one year warranty. The wider range works the same idea in other combinations, including E14 to G9 and E14 to GU10, plus converters that begin at a B22 or E27 lampholder, alongside inline dimmers in black, white and clear. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What exactly does it change?
It takes a small screw (E14) lampholder and gives you a larger screw (E27) socket, so a standard screw lamp will sit in a fitting originally made for candle lamps.
How much extra length does it add?
It stands 68mm tall and measures 33mm at its widest, so allow for that added length inside a shade or under a glass before you order.
Which lamps would you use with it?
LED, and on the modest side for wattage. Heavy filament globes are best avoided, both for the load and for the extra weight hanging off the lampholder.
Is a lamp supplied?
No, the lamp is bought separately, which lets you pick the output and colour temperature you want.
How should I clean it?
Switch the circuit off, take the lamp out, then wipe the white body with a dry cloth. Keep damp cloths and cleaners away from the socket and its contacts.
Is there a version that works the other way round?
Yes. The same range includes an E27 lampholder to E14 socket converter, B22 versions, and E14 to G9 and GU10 options.
