At Bank of Lamps, we offer one of the largest assortments of electrical sockets in Europe — with over 28,000 options sourced from leading manufacturers. Whether you're an installer, distributor, or procurement professional, choosing the right socket can be complex due to differences in standards, voltages, formats, and certifications across regions.
As a B2B-only wholesaler with over 27 years of experience, we help clients select products tailored to their target markets. Our customers benefit from access to local and supplier stock, accurate delivery forecasts, and dedicated expert support.
