Technical Specifications

Regulatory Compliance

- For Canadian installs, confirm the approval marking on the product label (CSA, cUL, UL, or equivalent) before use.

- Follow the Canadian Electrical Code and local authority requirements for wiring method, strain relief, and enclosure use.

Durability & Lifecycle

- Phenolic is commonly chosen for lamp sockets because it is rigid and holds up well in typical indoor utility applications.

- Best suited for dry, indoor environments unless the fixture assembly is specifically designed and rated for wet locations.

Procurement notes

- Confirm bulb base compatibility before ordering. "Medium base" often refers to the standard Edison medium size used in many general lighting lamps.

- Common add-ons for a complete install include lamp cord or fixture wire, a cord grip/strain relief, a canopy or junction box cover, and a compatible bulb.

- If you are building a pendant or open-socket utility light, match this lampholder to the correct wire gauge and an appropriate enclosure for the application.

FAQ

What bulbs fit this lampholder?

It is designed for medium-base bulbs. Confirm the exact base type on the packaging or product label to match your lamp correctly.

Can I use this for a pendant light?

Yes, it is commonly used in pendant and utility-style setups. Use proper strain relief and follow local electrical requirements for the full assembly.

Is this safe for high wattage bulbs?

The lampholder is rated up to 660W at 250V, but the safe wattage also depends on your fixture design, wiring, and heat management. Always follow the bulb and fixture limits.

Does the hook support the weight of a fixture?

The hook is intended for hanging applications, but the overall support method should be determined by your installation setup. Do not rely on the lampholder alone for structural support beyond its intended use.

Is it approved for use in Canada?

Do not assume approvals. Check the product label for CSA, cUL, UL, or equivalent markings before installing in Canadian projects.

Can this be used outdoors?

Only if the complete fixture assembly is designed and rated for wet locations. This lampholder alone does not make a setup outdoor-rated.
