Lamp Socket Converter | E27-B22 Edison to Bayonet

It worked for me

Bon produit, simple d'utilisation et s'adapte parfaitement. J'ai équipé toute ma nouvelle maison avec mes anciennes ampoules. Cela m'a permis de faire des économies et de ne pas racheter un stock complet d'ampoule.

Great little adaptors, saved me a lot of problems, I did not look correctly at the Philips Smart Eco bulbs i just bought and my existing house table lamps. These were the cheep option and the price was real good and the quality was good. It was cheaper to buy these than parcel up the lamps and send them back, they arrived virtualy with in 24 hours of ordering. They only added approx 1/2" to the hight of the bulb but the new Philips bulbs where the small coil eco type so over all they made no difference to the lamp look and effect.

Used it for a smart bulb conversion for a lamp - handles higher wattage fine too with no issues - good fit and build quality good enough

Only just taken delivery so I can't really comment on durability. Seems reasonably well made - usual phenolic moulded bayonet with the metal screw and springy BC contacts crimped onto it. I'm sure the construction is perfectly adequate. I have slight misgivings about the plastic moulding - I really would have preferred brass as my experience with moulded lampholders has not been happy. ALL the lampholders I have had to replace over the years have had crumbling plastic as the reason; it just can't take the heat of an incandescent bulb at anything near the lamp holder's rated wattage except intermittently and I usually get around 18 months to 3 years out of a 60w holder running a 60w bulb (no shade or a very large paper shade) which I view to be inadequate and unacceptable. With brass lamp holders I've had 15 years running 150-200watters (sigh... nostalgia) O.K. this may now all be largely irrelevant as the govt. is making us use these new-fangled "light-saving bulbs" which though they make houses look like they're lit by cave-dwellers' tallow lamps are much, much cooler and so my fears may be groundless. My remaining concern has nothing to do with the quality of the item, more its reason for existing. By its nature the converter/adapter lengthens the lamp, and it seems that though companies like Ikea cheerfully sell a huge range of lamps (all with screw fittings, hence this purchase) they have not considered that modern light bulbs are generally longer than the shades attached to, say, their desk lamps which were obviously designed for bayonet-cap incandescents and have then had screw-fit lamp-holders put in their stead as an afterthought. Whacking in one of these reasonably-priced adapters so that reasonably-priced, commonly-available lamps (or proper cold white bulbs) can be used means that the bulb invariably pokes out of the shade like a thing which I dare not use as a simile. Using the adapter is part of a chain of compromises which really should not be necessary, hence my misgivings. I will modify this in due course if extended use presents any problems or unforeseen advantages. Meanwhile I can at least now use my cheap Swedish Anglepoise™ knock-offs with daylight bulbs even though the shades are inadequate.
