Overview

The Vimar VM02195 is an E14 porcelain lampholder in white, meant for repairing or building small screw-base light fittings on board. It mounts via a base with Ø 3.7 mm fixing holes on 33 mm centres, sized for M3 screws.

Porcelain is a practical choice where heat buildup is a concern, such as enclosed cabin lights or compact fixtures that run for long periods. Because this is a lampholder only, the electrical rating comes from the lamp and the fixture it is installed in, so match the bulb type and wiring to the circuit already on the boat.

Key features

• E14 Edison screw lampholder for small screw-base lamps used in many European-style marine fixtures
• Porcelain body that handles heat from the lamp and stays stable over time
• Mounting base with Ø 3.7 mm fixing holes on 33 mm centres, suited to M3 mounting hardware
• White finish that blends in with common interior luminaires and service parts
• No starter insertion

Installation and setup

Fit the base to a flat, solid surface in the luminaire body using two M3 screws, then complete the wiring inside the fixture using the terminals provided on the lampholder. On a boat, take the extra minute to add strain relief on the supply leads and keep all connections inside a protected enclosure so vibration and moisture do not work the wiring loose.

Compatibility and fit

This lampholder is for E14 lamps only. If your fixture takes a different screw base, it will not thread on correctly, so confirm the bulb base before ordering. The mounting hole spacing is the quickest fit check when replacing an existing holder, especially in tight housings where you cannot easily re-drill.

Use cases on board

This is a straightforward replacement part for cabin and berth lights, chart table lamps, lockers, and other small interior fixtures that use an E14 bulb. It is also a sensible choice for maintenance teams keeping spares for older European-style luminaires where the socket is the first part to show heat wear.
