This is the ideal lamp holder. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

> pull cord
> outlet
Have you tried this guy over here? 230V rated, black, no useless outlet (when was the last time you plugged something into the ceiling anyway?), no stupid pull cord (what is it 1982?), adjustable height and way easier to install
I’ve got em in my basement and plug shit into them all the frickin time.
>ceramic
based. most of those ceramic frickers are rated for up to 600w bulbs. plus they dont crack after a sneeze when installing them, unlike their plastic counterparts.
>3 prong receptacle
based. nothing like having a convenient receptacle in an attic or basement, or wherever
>string attached to pull chain
not based. those frickers are so weak, they break when you exert any more force than an emaciated granny
I did replace the string on mine with 36” of #6 ball chain.
agreed
>lamp holder
did you mean bulb? that's fine for a crawl space or attic but the light is shitty and the pull cord is ass. no valance either. they yellow and crack to. I mean you posted literal garbage, not a lamp.
It's called a lamp holder or lamp base.
Porcelain doesn't yellow.
You can put all kinds of bulbs in them that direct light or diffuse it, and there's all kinds of ways to incorporate shades, baffles, valances, etc. using those lamp holders.
Quit buying shitty ones and the chain switches work fine.
speak english you britgay
What?
The image he posted has a USA socket.
Is the outlet switched?
Outlet is steady, only the socket is switched.
Plastic lamp holders are an abomination, they shouldn't even be sold they're so dogshit. Porcelain are peak.
>Let me guess, you need more?
I dont need the cord im not trans
>150V
I need some of these.
>120V system - 150V lamps last forever...
That homebrew abomination is definitely not UL approved.
>those mismatched screws
if the litle round wooden board was asbestos sheetrock then it would be code aproved by 1920s code
Looks fine to me
> mismatched screws
Oh yes I too lay down on the floor with binoculars every day to admire my perfectly matching clocked screws that hold in my ugly ass lamp fitting
It says 230v 150W, they are very bright bulbs and double as space heaters if you have a few of them
> I need cheap glass shit around my light bulb to look fancy
It will only convert more light to heat. Chandeliers with bulbs in them are faux classical and look terrible
>mismatched screws
it's a security feature moron
Those are security screws.
>mismatched screws
probably security screws
Ah yes. The famous Phillips and slotted security screw.
What kind of lamp / lampshade doesnt block light? Or are bare bulbs just better
Holophane
it needs to be enclosed in an artistic glass globe or in chandeliers
plain lightbulbs signal poverty
I use that ceramic lamp holder to put this in the ceiling. It's incredibly bright so I can see everything I'm doing at my workbench. I don't care if it looks ugly it's bright as frick.
I can smell the hot plastics from here
It does get quite hot
Lasted a year so far
I bought one made out of aluminum a few years ago for my workshop one of the panels that I didn't need went out a few weeks ago but overall its been pretty nice
Never had that problem with the good Leviton ones, only with the cheap knockoff brand ones from Menards.
But no current production Mexican and chicom lamp base can hold a candle to the old MiUSA ones.
For the un-air-conditioned northeast, mine is more like this
>1mm thick aluminum socket breaks when you try to screw in a bulb
yeah, peak performance my guy
> socket breaks
I’ll look for your lamp holders with sockets made from 1” thick 24 k gold on etsy
>socket outlet
american electrical code is fricked
