Legrand Lamp holders
Legrand Lamp Holders – Foundational Components for Lighting Installations
When specifying lighting systems—from luminaires to control—you must consider the very interface between the lamp and the fitting. The Legrand lamp holders category covers the sockets, bases and mountings that accept lamps (LED/halogen/fluo) and ensure safe, durable connection. According to standard lamp-holder information (see IEC 60061) the common Edison screw sizes E14/E27 are globally used.
From a B2B specifier’s view: choosing Legrand lamp holders means you standardise on brand for sockets, ensure compatibility with lamp types, simplify spares, and ensure safe mechanical and electrical interface.
Legrand Bulb Sockets – Interface Between Lamp and Fitting
Under the umbrella of Legrand bulb sockets, you’ll find standard screw-type (E14/E27), push-through, ceramic or plastic base options. For example, listings show “Lamp holder E14 Socket Wall Mount Plastic White – Legrand” for a wall-mount holder.
From specification side: you’ll need to verify socket type (E14 or E27), material (porcelain, thermoplastic), rated current/voltage, mounting method (wall, pendant, ceiling), and whether it supports LED retrofit or older lamp types.
Legrand E27 and E14 Holders – Standardised Socket Sizes for Multiple Applications
The Legrand E27 and E14 holders category emphasises the screw-base lamp-holder variants. E27 (medium Edison screw) and E14 (small Edison screw) are widely used in Europe and other markets
For procurement: you’ll need to check whether your lighting application requires E14 (often chandeliers, smaller lamps) or E27 (general lighting), confirm holder rating (AC 230 V, current), socket insulation material, mounting configuration (pendant vs surface) and retrofit compatibility with LED lamps.
Legrand Ceramic Lamp Bases – High-Temperature, Durable Holder Options
In more demanding or traditional applications—industrial, decorative, retrofit halogen lamps—the Legrand ceramic lamp bases category addresses sockets made of ceramic or high-temperature resistant materials. While specific Legrand catalogues list “lampholder” devices with phenolic or ceramic bases, independent sources list “Phenolic Medium Base Lampholder” etc.
From engineering perspective: ceramic bases provide better thermal endurance, suitable for high-temperature lamps or legacy halogens; specifying Legrand ceramic lamp bases ensures compatibility and reliability in harsh conditions.
Legrand Lighting Sockets – Full Family of Socket & Base Components
Finally, the Legrand lighting sockets category covers the full spectrum: lamp holders of various sizes, decorative coverings, mounting options, insulation types, retrofit compatibility. The Legrand lampholder listing on their site shows an array of socket types for residential and commercial use.
From a B2B procurement viewpoint: selecting Legrand lighting sockets means aligning sockets, mounts and supports under one brand — which simplifies supply chain, reduces variety of part numbers, and ensures spares continuity.
Buyer Checklist & Specifier Guidance
- Socket size and lamp base type: Verify whether you need an E14 or E27 holder based on lamp to be used.
- Material: Choose appropriate base material (thermoplastic, phenolic, ceramic) based on lamp wattage, environment and mounting type.
- Mounting configuration: Determine whether socket will be wall-mount, pendant, ceiling surface or recessed. For example, Legrand listing “Lamp holder E27 … suspension mounting … ring type” shows mounting variation.
- Electrical rating: Check voltage (230 V AC typical), current rating, heat dissipation, compatibility with LED retrofit.
- Brand ecosystem & spares: Using Legrand for lamp holders means spares, tooling and documentation are consistent across installations.
- Common mistakes to avoid: Using generic sockets leads to mismatches in lamp size or mounting; specifying holder without checking mounting depth or environment (e.g., heat) causes installation issues; mixing holder brands disrupts spares and maintenance.
