Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What does "R7S" mean for this lamp holder?

A1: R7S refers to the type of base for linear halogen or LED lamps. It has two contact points at each end, designed to fit into this specific type of lamp holder. The "118mm" indicates it's for lamps that are 118mm long.

Q2: What are the benefits of a ceramic lamp holder compared to plastic?

A2: Ceramic offers superior heat resistance, making it ideal for high-wattage R7S lamps that generate significant heat. It's less prone to warping, melting, or becoming brittle over time compared to standard plastic, offering enhanced safety and longevity.

Q3: What are "Fibreglass (FG) leads" and why are they important?

A3: Fibreglass leads are wires insulated with a fibreglass braiding. This material is highly resistant to heat, preventing the insulation from degrading or melting when exposed to the high temperatures often associated with R7S lamps. This enhances both the safety and durability of the lamp holder.

Q4: Can this lamp holder be used for outdoor lighting?

A4: This lamp holder itself is an internal component. For outdoor use, it must be installed within an appropriately rated outdoor lighting fixture that provides full protection against moisture, dust, and other environmental factors (e.g., an IP-rated luminaire).

Q5: Is an R7S lamp included with the lamp holder?

A5: No, this product is the lamp holder only. The R7S lamp (bulb) itself is sold separately.
