LAMP ATTACK

Light Bulb Socket Sizes Chart

The socket is the bulb base, which allows it to be connected to the lamp holder. There are different types of lamp attachments.

SHAPE AND SIZE

Nowadays, there are bulbs of the most disparate shapes. With a view to the interchangeability of obsolete products with other technologically more advanced and more efficient ones. Manufacturers guarantee “retrofit ” solutions to facilitate the replacement of bulbs, also in terms of size. IMPORTANT: the new bulbs, even when they emit the same amount of light compared to a traditional bulb. It could have different dimensions (height and diameter) that could compromise their installation inside the lighting fixture. To know all the information on the packaging of the bulbs, click here.

TYPE OF LIGHTING APPLIANCE

We mean the electrical device (spotlight, wall lamp, floor lamp, chandelier, ceiling lamp, etc). That makes one or more bulbs work by the lighting device. So it is always good to check their characteristics at the time of purchase. The first important feature to consider is the power supply voltage. A lighting fixture can operate at mains voltage (220-230 V) or very low (12 V). Before the advent of LED technology.

The most common bulbs capable of operating at very low voltage were incandescent and halogen ones. In particular those with G4, GU4, GU5.3, GX5.3, GY6.35 (for more information on the type of attacks. Visit the section dedicated to lamp connections). Today it is possible to find LED solutions on the market capable of suitably replacing halogen bulbs with very low mains voltage; however, it is essential to verify that these products are of quality.

From March 2014, labels indicating the energy class of the bulbs compatible with the luminaire. As well as that of the lamps present in the package. If supplied, it will be displayed in the points of sale near each luminaire. Therefore, when choosing the light bulb socket sizes chart, compatibility will also be considered, indicated for each luminaire. For more information, click here.

Light bulb socket sizes chart ( sockets)

Electrical sockets

Sockets, plugs, adapters, “slippers,” extensions, cable reels? They are so evident in our homes that we rarely focus on the fact that it is electrical material. As such, it must comply with precise safety rules and must be used with due caution. For example, suppose you do not want to incur serious accidents. Such as electric shock (electrocution), electrocution, short circuit, and fire.

Electric sockets in the bathroom

According to the legislation, in the bathroom, based on the bathtub or shower trays:

  • Zone 0 (is the internal volume of the tub or shower tray. For showers with prefabricated cabins, zone 0 is all internal): the installation of both pipes and electrical appliances is prohibited.
  • Zone 1 (is the projection of the contour of the tub or shower tray up to a height of 2.25 meters from the floor): pipes embedded in the walls for at least 5 centimeters are allowed. 
  • Zone 2 (extends horizontally up to a distance of 60 centimeters from the edge of the tub or shower tray. Vertically, it reaches up to 2.25 meters from the floor): pipes embedded in the walls for at least 5 centimeters are allowed. For shallower depths, a particular degree of insulation must be observed. Junction boxes are forbidden, except when they are used for connection with appliances allowed in the area. Plug sockets are allowed, powered by low-power Class II isolation transformers incorporated in the same plug sockets, designed to electric power razors.
  • Zone 3 (extends horizontally up to 2.40 meters from zone 2. Vertically, it reaches up to 2.25 meters from the floor): ducts embedded in the walls for at least 5 centimeters are allowed. There is no limitation for junction boxes. 

(The details of the differences between the different areas. Due to the particular technical content, are beyond the scope of this article)

One more precaution

In the bathroom and the kitchen, for additional safety, special interlocked sockets can be installed. Consisting of a socket and a 10 mA differential magnetothermic switch. Which represents local protection in case of anomalies. To use this type of socket. You have to insert the plug and then press the switch that supplies the electricity. A green light indicates correct operation. 

In general, throughout the house, it must be remembered that safety sockets are mandatory. Which open only by inserting the plug, without any possibility of having access to the live parts. In this way, even if there are children in the house.
