Lampholder Receptacle

Lampholder receptacles are electrical devices used to hold and connect light bulbs or lamps to a power source. They are typically made of durable materials such as porcelain or plastic and are designed to securely hold the lamp in place while providing electrical connections for the flow of electricity.

In the supply class Ballasts, Lampholders, and Starters, lampholder receptacles are included as a component that is essential for connecting and powering lighting fixtures. They are commonly used in various types of lighting fixtures, including ceiling fixtures, wall sconces, table lamps, and floor lamps.

Lampholder receptacles come in different types and configurations to accommodate different types of lamps and bulbs. Some common types include screw-in lampholders (such as E26 or E27), pin-based lampholders (such as G4 or GU10), and bi-pin lampholders (such as T8 or T12).

When selecting a lampholder receptacle, it is important to consider factors such as the type of lamp or bulb being used, the wattage and voltage requirements, and the specific application or fixture where it will be installed.

Overall, lampholder receptacles play a crucial role in providing a safe and reliable electrical connection for lighting fixtures, allowing them to function properly and illuminate spaces effectively.
