What Is a Lamp Holder?
A lamp holder is a device designed to secure a lamp in place. It is commonly used in various settings, including residential homes, commercial buildings, and public facilities. Lamp holders play a vital role in various lighting fixtures found in living rooms, bathrooms, offices, stores, factories, schools, hospitals, libraries, and more.
There are two fundamental types of lamp holders: socket type and screw type. In the socket type, a socket is provided, and the lamp is inserted into the socket, making electrical contact and securely holding the lamp in place. In the screw type, a threaded screw mechanism is used to fix the lamp securely to the holder.
Additionally, lamp holders come in various configurations designed for use on ceilings, walls, floors, and specific types of lighting fixtures. Selecting the appropriate lamp holder is essential and depends on factors such as the installation location and the type of lighting fixture being used.
