What You Need to Know Before You Start
The Brooklyn Vintage Large Bulb Holder is designed for a utility-chic look that suits many interiors. Before you begin, check that your setup matches the holder's specifications. The holder is IP20 rated, making it suitable for indoor use in dry locations only. The maximum bulb wattage is 40W, so choose an E27 bulb that stays within this limit.
If you plan to build your own pendant light, the holder is compatible with a range of shades. The product page notes that you can find compatible shades in the specifications table. Make sure your shade fits the holder's dimensions before wiring.
Installation Steps
Follow these steps to wire and attach your Brooklyn Cord Set Bulb Holder. Always turn off the mains power before starting any electrical work.
- Prepare the cord set: The holder can be purchased with a Fabric Flex colour of your choice, making it a bespoke solution. If you have a separate cord set, feed the cable through the holder's cap and base before connecting the wires.
- Wire the holder: Connect the live (brown) wire to the center terminal and the neutral (blue) wire to the outer terminal of the E27 screw fitting. Secure the ground wire if your cord set includes one. Double-check that all connections are tight and no loose strands are exposed.
- Attach the holder: Screw the holder's base onto the cap, sandwiching the cable and any strain relief. The holder can be simply attached to a ceiling rose or junction box using the provided hardware. Ensure it is firmly mounted before inserting the bulb.
- Install the bulb and shade: Screw in an E27 bulb with a maximum wattage of 40W. If you are adding a shade, attach it according to the shade's instructions. The holder's design allows for easy shade fitting, but always verify compatibility beforehand.
