1. Basic types of lamp holders

The common lamp holder refers to the interface of the lamp base and the lamp base. Take the lamp holder as an example, the installation method can be divided into screw, bayonet and other ways. According to the shape, it can belong to edging, short edging, with or without holes, 45° angle, etc. The use can be divided into single bracket, lamp bracket, and tandem bracket.

1. Classified by installation method

Threaded lamp holders are usually labeled with the letter “E” at the beginning, such as E14, E27, E12, E26, etc. The number after the “E” indicates the size of the head of the ordinary screw-on lamp holder, and E27 is the lamp holder we commonly use.

There are relatively more types of Snap-On light holders, designated by B, GU, MR, etc. The letter G at the beginning of the GU indicates that the head type is plug-in, the U indicates that the head section is U-shaped, and the number behind it indicates the center distance of the foot hole. Type MR lamp holders are commonly used for small spotlights with direct local lighting. A common Snap-On bulb holder, such as the E27, is B22.

2. Classified by shape characteristics

Common lamp holders E27 and B22 can have different characteristics in terms of appearance and shape. Some lamp holders look like a small cylinder, some lamp holders look like cup lids with intricate carving patterns, some lamp holders look like coffee cups, and lamp holders like coffee cups have their own characteristics, some have a large sorted cup, some have a small cup, and The cup body has open and non-open holes, and there are also 45-degree angle cups. The shape of the lamp holder is also required for different markets and different applications.

3. Classified by use

Lamp holders are a generic term for the various types of lamp fixtures mentioned above, but in reality, there are different types of lamp holders depending on the actual use and scenario. Above all, there are flat surface mounted lamp holders, which generally have a circular base or release base for mounting. Secondly, there are lamp holders that are supposed to hang under the ceiling and are also paired with a ceiling cable box, where the lamp holder and cable box are connected by a cable and the lamp holder is suspended in the air. There is also a tandem lamp holder, several lamp holders are fixed on a fixed length of cable, and attached to a matching lamp that can be hung on balconies, courtyards, etc., for aesthetic decoration. Most lamp holders used in ceiling boxes and tandem lamps have the appearance of small, cylindrical lamp holders with a cable attachment top.

II. Points to note when buying

Although lamp holders are not very valuable, they are in high demand and come in a wide variety, so importers should take the time to compare the quality in their purchase. The first thing that stands out is the material of the lamp holder. The housing of the lamp holder is mainly made of plastic and the inner active parts are made of aluminum. But plastic materials are divided into many types, in the use of performance and cost, there are differences, PP, PC, ABS, PBT and other materials.

Next is the thickness of the material. Many factories offer a very low price, but obtaining physical materials can see the plastic shell and internal copper parts are too thin, the material thickness is insufficient, not only does the appearance of the grade not high, the heat resistance is poor, the service life is low, the conduction efficiency is not high .

How to choose suitable lamp holders?

Moreover, the manufacturing process, even with qualified materials, the manufacturing process in the factory also influences the buyer and the consumer’s preference for the product. Because the lamp holder product itself contains a lot of plastic round parts, it is important to check whether the material edge has burrs and bumps, whether the surface of the product has scratches, etc., these are all defective products. High-quality lamp holder plastic parts should be smooth and shiny on the surface, and the edges of the round parts should be smooth.

III. How to choose a lamp holder that matches the market

In response to the above introduction about the types and focus on quality of lamp holders, we already have a general understanding before deciding to supply the market, and the next step is to select the suitable lamp holder for our target market. Because even high-quality products that are positioned at the lower end of the market will not attract consumers, because the high prices associated with high quality will hold them back. There is also a type preference, not only in terms of the type of use demanded by the market but also in terms of the degree of preference in appearance.
