A lamp holder is a device for a lamp's light source; it holds the light source in place and connects only to a light source that fits the holder.Base is possible. This prevents the wrong type of light bulb from being inserted into a lamp, which makes sense since light bulbs for high- andLow voltage often look similar, but with differentTension be operated. In addition, the socket also serves as the power connection.

If the base fits the socket, the light bulb can simply be screwed in or plugged in. This method also makes replacement very easy, since conventionalDischarge lamps and light bulbs have a short lifespan. So if a bulb burns out, the light fixture makes it easy to quickly replace it with a new one.

A very well-known name in the field of light bulb sockets is Thomas Edison, who invented the widely used Edison screw base. In sizes E14 and E27 it is the most common socket forIncandescent light bulbs and energy-saving light bulbs.

Other lamp sockets commonly used in Germany include:

  • E27 socket with Edison base for lights up to 230Volt 
  • E14 lamp holder, for example, for candle-shaped bulbs in chandeliers
  • GU10 socket with bayonet base for lights up to 230 volts
  • G4, G9, etc., as pin sockets forHalogen lamps & LED
