What is Lampholder

A lampholder, also known as a lamp socket, provides support and electrical connection for a lamp. It is a device designed to securely hold a light bulb or lamp in place and connect it to the electrical circuit. Lampholders come in various types and designs to accommodate different types of lamps and fixtures. They are typically attached to the wall or ceiling using a wire connection. The main purpose of a lampholder is to provide a stable base for the light source, ensuring it remains securely in place during operation.

One common type is the angle lampholder, which is widely used with a variety of light sources, including LED, incandescent, fluorescent, and compact fluorescent lamps. Another popular type is the batten lampholder, which is commonly used in industrial and commercial settings. These lampholders are designed to hold specific lamp bases, such as screw bases (Edison bases), bi-pin bases, or twist-lock bases, ensuring compatibility and proper electrical connection. There are other types available, such as pendant holders. Pendant holders are often used in outdoor areas like gardens and festivals, providing a means to suspend the light source from a ceiling or overhead structure, creating an aesthetic and functional lighting solution.
