The ring clips onto the lampholder rim after the bulb is inserted, holding the bulb against the socket contacts and preventing it from working loose under vibration or thermal cycling. Supplied in a 100-pack for bulk installation, trade refits and maintenance stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with recessed downlights, low-voltage spotlight fittings and adjustable ceiling fixtures, the clips fit standard 50mm diameter lampholder bodies. The spring tension accommodates slight variation in bulb cap height between different manufacturers, maintaining a secure fit across MR16 halogen, LED MR16 and GU10 LED bulbs. Installation involves simply pushing the clip into the retention groove on the lampholder after the bulb is seated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe steel construction withstands repeated bulb changes and the elevated temperatures inside enclosed downlight housings without losing tension. The clips are supplied loose in a bag rather than individually packaged, making them suitable for electricians carrying out multiple installations, property managers maintaining rental stock, or retail environments needing frequent bulb replacements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_1626_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo these fit both MR16 and GU10 bulbs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
