Angle lamp holder with brass ring — white polycarbonate wall holder that tilts the bulb out and down, with a brass bayonet sleeve for B22 pin-type bulbs.
- Angle holder — the lamp opening is tilted, so the bulb points out and down from the wall.
- White polycarbonate body, from the skirt lamp holder range.
- Brass bayonet sleeve with two spring-loaded contacts for B22 pin-type bulbs.
- Brass-ring version of the angle holder, as named.
- Round base with screw-fixing holes.
- Contacts sit recessed inside the skirt of the lamp opening.
- Throws light down onto mirrors, steps and passages instead of across the wall.
An angle holder fixes on a wall like a batten holder, but its lamp opening is set at an angle. The bulb points away from the wall and downwards, so the light falls where it is needed — on a mirror, a staircase, a passage or a doorway.
This one has a white polycarbonate body and is the brass-ring version, with a brass bayonet sleeve and spring-loaded contacts for pin-type (B22) bulbs. For ceilings, choose our batten holder; for a rounder, modern look, our Crazy angle holder.
Where to use it
- Mirror and dressing-table lights.
- Staircases, landings and passages.
- Wall lights in store rooms, garages and utility areas.
- Shop and godown wall points.
How to install
- Switch off the lighting circuit at the MCB and check that the point is dead.
- Open the holder and bring the switched phase and the neutral wires in through the base.
- Connect them to the two terminals and screw the base to the wall so the lamp opening points where the light should fall, usually downwards.
- Close the holder and fit the bulb.
Electrical work should be done by a licensed electrician with the supply switched off. Indoor use only — not for open, wet or outdoor locations.
Frequently asked questions
- What is an angle holder?
- A wall-mounted lamp holder whose lamp opening is tilted, so the bulb points out and down from the wall instead of straight out.
- Angle holder or batten holder — which one do I need?
- On a wall, an angle holder throws light down and forward, which is good for mirrors, passages and stairs. On a ceiling, or where the bulb can point straight out, a batten holder is simpler.
- Which bulbs fit this holder?
- Pin-type bayonet (B22) bulbs — the cap used by most household LED bulbs in India. Screw-type (E27) bulbs need a screw-type holder.
- What does "with brass ring" mean?
- It is the name of the brass-ring version of this angle holder; the range also has a version with a PBT (plastic) ring. Inside, this one has a brass bayonet sleeve with spring-loaded contacts.
- Which way up should it be fixed?
- Usually with the lamp opening pointing downwards, so the light falls on the area below and the bulb does not shine into people’s eyes.
- Can I use it in a bathroom or outdoors?
- It is an open holder for indoor, dry places. In bathrooms, open verandahs and outdoor points, use an enclosed fitting made for damp or wet locations.
