The Safety Switch B22 Lamp Holder Solid Brass BC Bayonet Switched Bulb Socket 10mm M10 Entry with Shade Ring for Table Lamps and Industrial Lighting combines traditional British manufacturing with advanced electrical safety. Engineered from solid brass in the UK, this B22 lamp holder features a horizontal push-bar switch and a patented child-safe cut-out mechanism. Designed for indoor lighting circuits, it provides tactile control for bedside lamps, desk lights, and custom restorations.
Key Benefits
- Patented Child-Safe Cut-Out Switch: Internal brass plungers are automatically isolated from the live supply whenever a bulb is removed, preventing switch operation unless a bulb is fitted.
- Solid Brass UK Construction: Machined in the UK from solid brass with a knurled shade ring, offering structural durability and industrial style across brass, satin nickel, and chrome finishes.
- Integrated On-Off Paddle Control: A smooth horizontal push-bar key switch enables direct illumination control at the lamp base.
- Secure Shade Clamping: Equipped with a knurled shade ring and internal locking screw to hold decorative lamp shades firmly in place.
- Dedicated Earth Grounding Bolt: Includes an external earth screw terminal on the top cap to ensure compliant grounding when wired with three-core flex.
Usage Scenarios
This B22 bayonet safety lamp holder is engineered for indoor lighting circuits and fixture assembly. It is ideal for bedside table lamps, reading lights, and vintage repairs where control at the collar is required. The 10mm (M10) threaded bottom entry attaches to standard metric stems. Compatible with B22 incandescent, LED, and halogen bulbs. As a metal fixture, it must always be earthed using three-core cable. Installation should be performed by a competent person with mains electricity switched off.
