Lighting Material

  • E-14, E-27 and E-40 lampholders in specific mounting formats.
  • Ceramic GU10, GU5.3/6.35 and GZ10 lampholders.
  • Cap adapters and in-cord switches.
  • V1705 guide light and BK-L / BK-L3P boxes for indoor use.

Solera lighting components: choosing lampholders, switches and connections

Solera lighting components include lampholders, cap adapters, in-cord switches, a guide light and luminaire connection boxes. Each serves a different purpose: connecting the lamp, adapting its interface, controlling on/off operation, providing orientation or housing connections. Compare lamp cap, mounting, supply and reference-specific limits when selecting.

Selecting the component

E-14, E-27 and E-40 identify different lamp interfaces; GU10, GZ10 and GU5.3/6.35 must also be distinguished. Thermoplastic and porcelain lampholders offer different mounting formats, but material alone does not define permitted temperature or outdoor suitability. An adapter changes the cap interface, not the voltage; a switch performs switching and a box houses connections. Assess compatibility across the complete luminaire.

Selection must respect the voltage, current, power and thermal conditions of both the component and the luminaire. Disconnect the supply before installation or replacement and follow the manufacturer’s instructions; a matching lamp cap alone does not validate the complete assembly.

Frequently asked questions

Is every component suitable for LED lamps?

Do not assume this across the range. Lamp cap, voltage, supply, dimensions, load and thermal conditions must be compatible with the lamp and luminaire.

Does a porcelain body allow any lamp wattage?

No. Observe the power, current, voltage and temperature declared for the reference and the luminaire limits. Material does not replace those ratings.

Does a box or adapter make a luminaire suitable for outdoor use?

No. Check the IP rating, wiring, mounting and operating conditions of the assembly. BK-L and BK-L3P specify IP20 and indoor use.
