Overview

This Vimar E14 lampholder is a replacement holder for fittings that use an E14 bulb base, with versions in black or white and in threaded skirt or threaded dome/skirt form. The range uses a glass-reinforced polyester resin body, and the threaded skirt versions use an M10x1 nipple with a locking screw.

On a boat, this is the kind of spare part that makes sense when the light fitting is still worth keeping but the holder needs to match the original lamp base and mounting style. It is most useful in compact interior fixtures where space is limited and where changing the whole fitting would take more work than replacing the holder itself.

Key features

• E14 Edison lampholder format for fixtures built around a small screw-base bulb
• Glass-reinforced polyester resin body
• Range includes both threaded skirt and threaded dome/skirt constructions
• Threaded skirt versions use an M10x1 nipple with a locking screw
• Available in black and white to match the fixture finish more closely

Variants

This product is offered in multiple configurations so the holder style and visible finish can be matched to the light fitting you are repairing or building.

Across the range, the changes are color and holder body style. All four versions use the E14 lamp holder format and a glass-reinforced polyester resin body. The threaded skirt versions are VM02127 and VM02127.B, while VM02127.S and VM02127.S.B use the threaded dome/skirt form.

• VM02127.B: White finish, threaded skirt. This version suits fixtures that already use the threaded skirt body and need a lighter visible finish.
• VM02127: Black finish, threaded skirt. This keeps the same threaded skirt layout for installations where the darker holder blends in better.
• VM02127.S.B: White finish, threaded dome/skirt. This version adds the dome/skirt body style for fittings built around that threaded entry shape, with a white finish.
• VM02127.S: Black finish, threaded dome/skirt. This keeps the dome/skirt configuration and changes the visible finish to black.

Compatibility and fit

Before ordering, confirm that your fixture uses an E14 holder and check which body style you are replacing. The difference between the threaded skirt versions and the threaded dome/skirt versions matters when the holder has to sit correctly inside an existing shade ring, cover, or light housing.

This range is a good match for refits where the fixture body stays in place and only the holder is being replaced. That is often the case with cabin lights, berth lamps, and other small onboard fittings where the original mechanical layout needs to stay close to what is already installed.

Installation and use

Fit is more important here than broad compatibility claims. Check the bulb base, the holder form, and the thread arrangement before installation, and compare them to the part already in the light. For exposed locations, the sealing of the complete fixture still depends on the housing, lens, and cable entry, not only on the lampholder itself.
