With a B22 pin-type base, the VGTEC Bakelite Batten Holder (Lotus Series) handles 250V electrical loads. High-density Bakelite prevents structural warping from heat. This 6-piece pack provides enough units for standard residential lighting circuits.
Key Features
- Heat Resistant Bakelite: Flame retardant thermosetting plastic withstands sustained operating temperatures without melting. Stops fire hazards when using high-wattage bulbs in heavy humidity.
- Brass Terminals: Solid brass internal components maintain 6A current flow without arcing. Reduces flickering and prevents terminal oxidation over time.
- 10-Year Warranty: Manufacturer backing covers structural failure and mechanical defects for a decade. Offers long-term reliability for fixed ceiling or wall installations.
- 250V/6A Rating: Standardized electrical capacity fits most domestic lighting circuits and power grids. Matches requirements for both energy-saving lamps and traditional incandescent bulbs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bakelite better than plastic for bulb holders?
Bakelite handles higher temperatures and doesn't melt like standard PVC or thermoplastic. It maintains structural integrity under the constant heat of a 100W bulb.
Does this work with LED bulbs?
The B22 pin-type socket supports all standard LED, CFL, and incandescent bulbs. It handles up to 6A current, which exceeds the draw of modern LED lighting.
