SWITCH WILL NOT OPERATE WITHOUT A BULB FITTED - ALSO ENSURE BOTH HALVES OF LAMP HOLDER ARE SCREWED TOGETHER PROPERLY Review: Good quality - Good quality, fitted easily, switch was smooth to switch on and off. Liked the safety aspect, can't switch on without a bulb fitted. Review: Good quality - Refurbished some old lamps and fitted new bulb holder these were ideal and fitted well with the design. Very east to fit and also had a locking screw to hold it secure once fitted, simple to wire up as the whole body split into to make access easy. Very pleased with the end result, they were for my daughter house and she loves them. Little expensive but very good value for money and well made, you pay for what you get and these are very good quality. One other thing, there is a safety feature that removes power to the holder if the bulb is not fitted, so if you remove the bulb with power is on then holder is safe thanks to this interlock feature. ## Features - IMPORTANT: Switch will ONLY work when a bulb is fitted - Patented Safety Switch Push-Bar Design - MAKE SURE lamp holder is fully screwed together when assembled so that centre Safety Pin correctly depresses when a bulb is installed. - For all types of B22 (22mm) Bayonet Cap Bulb: Incandescent, LED and Halogen - Made in UK: Solid Brass construction with Solid Brass Shade Ring.

This is for termination of the earth wire. Because the housing is metal you MUST use 3-core wire and terminate the earth in the switch body. Without an earth connection there is a very high risk of electric shock when switching the light on or off. 2-core wire is only suitable for use with and ALL plastic housing. **Q: Will this 10mm fitting screw onto the 1/2 inch rod which goes through the lamp base?** A: No, you will need to order the 1/2" inch entry lamp holder. **Q: What are 'plunger contacts' ? Previous, broken fitting has screw contacts.** A: Plunger contacts interface with your bulb. There are screw terminals fitted for your flex. **Q: Will this 10mm fitting screw onto the 1/2 inch rod which goes through the lamp base?** A: No - you need a 1/2 inch lamp bulb holder a 10mm will not fit ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality *by M***P on 2 December 2025* Good quality, fitted easily, switch was smooth to switch on and off.
