Edison Screw ES E27 Light Bulb Lampholder Socket Black Bakelite Style

Great just what I was looking for

I read a few reviews from people saying this unit can't be disassembled after a test fit. It's fiddly but can be done. The flared metal part shown in the photo acts a a ratchet when the parts are assembled. When depressed it is possible to unscrew the parts again. I used a point on a swiss army knife but anything that reaches and isn't too sharp to slide down the side will do I expect.To the quality. Mine replaced a fitting in a habitat lamp which used feeble tabs to hold the assembly together and needless to say one of these failed. In my view this fitting is far superior in strength of assembly. Early days yet to see if it stands the test of time but no obvious flaws in design. Installation and assembly of this fitting is a doddle (working out how the lamp itself came apart was less so 🙄). However, the outcome is that my broken lamp is all back together and working like new.It's a shame to see that folk are throwing these away following a test assembly. No doubt some simple instructions would work to the advantage of the environment and karma of humankind! So if the manufacturer wants that fifth star, they know what to do.

I recently bought a TP-Link smart bulb from Amazon, with the intention of using it in an old brass reading lamp that has a bayonet fitting. Since the TP-Link comes with an E27 converter, I thought I would be able to use the bulb without any modification to the lamp itself.Regrettably, however, when the bulb was used with the E27 attachment, it was so long that it protruded over the top of the lampshade and was quite blinding on all but the lowest settings, so I looked on Amazon and found this Bluelover lamp holder.The Bluelover holder was very easy to fit and resolved the problem immediately; the TP-Link bulb is now about ten centimetres from the top of the shade, so now looks great when lit.One reviewer has mentioned that the holder does not come with the metal screw base. When I ordered the lamp holder, I considered buying the metal base, which is offered separately, but I decided to wait until I saw what the lamp holder was like before buying the base. I'm very glad I did because the Bluelover holder comes complete with a soft plastic fluted adaptor that you can push into the reading lamp. The adaptor is threaded at the top so the holder screws directly into it, which means that I have not had to make any major alterations to a nice antique reading lamp.I shall definitely buy a few more Bluelover holders so that I can change all my lights to smart bulbs.

Perfect size perfect fit, my lamp is now fully working thank you

Buying one of these saved me over £100 on a new lamp.The item comes ready for assembly.Just one word of caution, do not assemble before you use it as you will not get it apart again. Just make sure that the terminals are all tight before fitting the collars.

Quality seems ok but note that it does not come with metal nut/screw base as shown in the picture - so if you need one that requires an earth then this won't do the job. The screw fitting is the same plastic as the rest of the fitting.

Extremely poor quality product. plastic is very brittle and cheaply made. hard to get undone due to the plastic locking. basically had to break it to open it up again.It's a very easy product to install or use but it really is such poor quality.

I accidentally knocked over my lamp and smashed the bulb socket. Bought this and had it replaced in no time. There's no connection for an earth wire if you have a three-wired lead, but you can just tape the earth wire up and push it out the way within the casing. Lamp has been restored to its former glory... until I knock it over again, at which point I'd happily buy another one of these.
