This is a quick guide on how to fix a lampholder to a ceramic light fitting especially if you cannot fit your hand inside the base.
The following parts were used in this guide.
Step 1: Use a long screwdriver (if required) and slide a pottery nipple onto it.
Step 2: Push the screwdriver up the base and out the top.
Step 3: Take the bottom part of the lampholder and slide it over the screwdriver.
Step 4: Screw the lampholder base onto the pottery nipple and remove the screwdriver.
Please Note: you may need to cut the thread down on the pottery nipple depending on how thick the ceramic lamp is.
Step 5: This is how the lampholder should look once screwed onto the pottery nipple.
Step 6: Push your chosen cable through the small hole on the side of your light fitting and install a cord grip in this example we have used a CE4 this is installed by pushing the cable through the CE4 leave this loose on the cable for now.
