The vimar lamp holders family covers E27/E14 for mains lamps, GU10/GU5.3 for spots, G9 for compact capsules, GX53/GX10/GX8.5 for slim luminaires, and R7s for linear halogen/LED retrofit bars. Bodies ship in ceramic for 200–250 °C zones or high-temp PBT for lighter fittings; creepage/clearance and glow-wire values (650–850 °C) are printed on the part, which shortens approval loops. Options include earth lugs, captive screws, and keyed inserts that stop cross-mating when both 230 V and SELV live in the same canopy.
Where legacy optics must stay, vimar bulb sockets help you keep photometry intact: E27/E14 with threaded collars for shades, GU10 twist-lock with anti-rotation tabs, GU5.3 two-pin with 0.75 mm² tails for remote drivers, and G13/G5 for T8/T5 linear. For damp rooms and outdoors, gasketed retainers push ingress to IP44/IP65 if the luminaire front is rated accordingly. Field crews appreciate pre-terminated tails (0.5…1.0 mm², 8–10 mm strip) that pass pull tests without re-crimping on the lift.
Ceiling grids and long rows install faster with keyed, color-coded plugs. The vimar lighting connectors line includes 2–5-pole push-in and screw versions, IP20 for dry spaces and IP65 sealed pairs for canopies and façades. Loop-through blocks take feed/return plus 1–10 V or DALI cores; polarity and control are embossed to avoid mix-ups in low light. Housings clamp 6–10 mm jacket Ø, so strain is on the gland, not the terminal.
Linear battens, uplights, and flood repairs call for vimar lamp bases: G13/G5 with snap-in saddles, R7s spring carriers with ceramic shoes, and specialty GX53/GX10 plates that maintain focal height in tight optics. Retainers match common reflector cutouts, and vibration clips keep contacts seated in transit-exposed corridors or sports halls. Thermal standoffs are available where drivers share the same tray.
Most time is lost on finishing, not wiring. vimar mounting holders pair downlight springs, anti-rotation claws, and spacer rings (2–10 mm) to land trims flush over imperfect plaster. Metal adapter plates rescue oversize cutouts; repair collars hide chipped edges; back-spacers defeat cold bridges on external walls. Brackets arrive with the right screw lengths for the plastics and thread types used, which keeps torque consistent across a floor.
Public routes and plant rooms need documented materials. The vimar electrical fittings portfolio offers LSZH plastics (IEC 60754/61034) for escape paths, IP20 bodies for dry ceilings, and IP44/IP65 kits when paired with correct gaskets and glands. Glow-wire values are stated on the part; terminals are finger-safe and accept ferrules cleanly. Label windows take circuit IDs and test dates—useful during night-shift relamps.
Small parts keep ratings intact: vimar socket accessories include IP44 gasket rings, compression glands, cord grips, strain-relief clamps sized to jacket Ø, and keystone-style adapters for RJ45/TV modules sharing the same plate line. Separation barriers preserve SELV/mains clearances inside boxes; color-coded inserts mark dimming cores so drivers aren’t miswired after handover.
Supply and control: 230 V AC mains, SELV 12/24 V for drivers and sensors; 1–10 V/DALI cores distinguished by color. Wiring windows: 0.5…2.5 mm² Cu; strip 8–10 mm; typical torque 0.4–0.8 Nm (device label prevails). Ingress per IEC 60529 (IP20 default; IP44/IP65 with kits). Fire: glow-wire 650–850 °C; LSZH where mandated. Thermal: select ceramic near 200 °C canopies; use PBT where ambient < 105 °C.
Hotels/offices: keyed plugs for modular ceilings, gasketed trims in bathrooms, low-profile GX53 in shallow voids. Education/healthcare: LSZH bodies, tamper-resistant holders, clear label windows for audits. Logistics/plant: ceramic caps in hot bays, IP65 sealed connectors on dust-exposed fittings. All parts align with Vimar boxes, channels, and the Eikon/Arké/Plana faceplate geometry.
Start from environment and optic: IP/temperature, beam/photometry, and focal height. Pick cap family (E27, GU10, GU5.3, G9, G13/G5, R7s, GX53/GX10) and material (ceramic vs high-temp polymer). Define wiring (core size, loop-through, dimming pairs), then lock glands and strain-relief by jacket Ø. Publish torque/strip rules and label scheme so every ceiling hands over first time.
Your programme sets the rhythm. We provide job-specific pricing, near-hour quotes by EAN/MPN, and live EU stock before ceilings close. The portal shows lead times, shipment tracking, and downloadable price lists with validity windows you can plan around. Trusted clients can use post-payment up to 30 days. We consolidate partials so holders, connectors, bases, gaskets, glands, adapters, and labels arrive room-bundled by level. Your account manager cross-checks IP/thermal targets, conductor ranges, gland threads, and labeling against your drawings—keeping deliveries site-ready across France, the Baltics, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
