Description
A neat white converter that lets a GU10 lamp sit in an E14 lampholder, so a small screw fitting can take a directional reflector lamp instead of a candle. The body measures about 35mm across, compact enough to stay out of the way inside a shade or behind a glass diffuser. It is rated to a maximum of 50W, and the lamp goes in with the usual quarter turn once the converter is in place.
We stock this for the moment when the holder and the lamp refuse to agree: a wall light or small pendant with a candle holder, and a drawer of GU10 reflectors already at home. It suits anyone moving a room over to a single type of lamp, and it is an inexpensive way to change the character of a light, since a reflector throws a tighter pool where a candle lamp spreads wide. We would put an LED reflector in it rather than halogen, mostly for the running cost over a year of evenings.
The casing is white throughout, which keeps it quiet against a pale holder or the inside of a light shade. For cleaning, switch the light off and give the lamp time to cool, then withdraw it and wipe the converter over with a dry cloth before putting the lamp back. It carries a one year warranty. If your mismatch runs the other way, the same range covers conversions between B22, E27, E14, G9 and GU10 holders, plus inline dimmers for table and floor lamps. The lamp itself is not included.

Frequently Asked
What lamp does this take?
A GU10 lamp, up to 50W. We would use an LED reflector of around 50mm diameter, which is the shape this converter is intended for.
Is a lamp supplied with it?
No, the converter comes on its own, so you can pick the beam and colour temperature of the GU10 lamp to suit the room.
How much room does it need?
It is 35mm in diameter and 55mm tall, so allow for that extra height inside a shade or glass before the lamp itself is added.
Can I dim the lamp through it?
Dimming depends entirely on the GU10 lamp being marked as dimmable and on a compatible dimmer. The converter itself does not add or prevent dimming.
What holder does it go into?
A standard E14 small Edison screw lampholder, the same size that takes a candle lamp.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, it carries a one year warranty.
