Vimar E27 Porcelain Lampholder, 43 mm, White Body

Overview

The Vimar E27 Porcelain Lampholder is a ceramic E27 bulb holder for replacement work and new light assemblies where a standard Edison screw lamp base is required. The body measures 43 mm in diameter and mounts by screw fixing, with a 3/8 inch nipple thread.

This range uses a cylindrical white porcelain body and comes in three mounting layouts. That gives you a direct-fix option for a flat mounting surface, a straight bracket version where fixing slots help with alignment, and a 90° insulated bracket version where the socket needs a different mounting angle inside the fitting.

Key features

• E27 Edison lampholder for standard E27 bulbs
• 43 mm cylindrical ceramic body in white
• Screw-mount format with 3/8 inch nipple thread
• Three fixing layouts to match different lamp housings and rebuilds
• CE and ENEC marked

Variants

This lampholder is offered in multiple configurations built around the same 43 mm ceramic E27 body.

What changes between the versions is the fixing style and hole pattern. The socket format, material, colour, and screw-mount construction stay the same across the range.

• VM02174: direct-fix body with ø 4 mm fixing holes and 18 mm fixing centres. This suits fixtures where the lampholder mounts straight to the base without an added bracket.
• VM02174.D: straight fixing bracket with 4.5 x 6 mm fixing slots and 53 mm fixing centres. The slotted bracket gives a little more freedom when lining up an existing mounting plate.
• VM02174.S: 90° insulated fixing bracket with 4.5 x 9 mm fixing holes. This changes the mounting angle, which helps when the socket needs to sit off the main fixing surface.

Installation and fit

Start by confirming the bulb base on your fixture, since this holder is for E27 lamps only. Then compare the fixing pattern on the existing light with the version you are replacing, especially if the old holder uses a bracket or sits at a right angle inside the housing.

The 43 mm body size matters in enclosed lights, so it is worth checking clearance around the socket and the lamp itself before ordering. The 3/8 inch nipple thread also matters if the holder is being installed through a shade ring, bracket, or threaded fitting on the light body.

Use on board

This is a good match for refit and repair jobs on cabin lights, utility lights, and portable lamps that already use an E27 socket. It also suits installers who need to keep the original mounting style of the fixture instead of changing the whole light assembly.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
