plug - in lamp holder, Metals conduct electricity
Structural Features
- Plug - in lamp holders come in various shapes, often cylindrical or flat, with different size specifications to meet the needs of different lamps and bulbs. They are characterized by one or more pins. The lamp holder body is usually made of insulating materials like plastic or ceramic for safety, and the pins are made of conductive metals such as copper or copper alloys, often electroplated to enhance conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Working Principle
- A plug - in lamp holder connects to the power supply by directly inserting its pins into the corresponding sockets. When the pins are inserted, they make close contact with the metal contacts inside the socket, connecting the bulb to the circuit. Current flows from the circuit in the socket through the pins of the lamp holder into the bulb, heating the filament and converting electrical energy into light energy.
Applicable Scenarios
- Plug - in lamp holders are common in household lighting fixtures such as some chandeliers, wall lights, and table lamps. For instance, some minimalist - style chandeliers use LED bulbs with plug - in lamp holders, which are easy to replace and provide good lighting. They are also widely used in commercial lighting, like in mall display cabinet lighting and hotel room lighting.
Related Accessories
- Some related accessories in lighting systems include a lamp holder to outlet adapter, which might be used in specific set - ups to connect the lamp holder to an outlet. A shunted lamp holder might have different electrical connection characteristics. An IKEA floor lamp may or may not use a plug - in lamp holder depending on its design. And in some electrical circuits, a fuse is used to protect the circuit from over - current.
