They use screws and bare copper wite to make an e27 base. The holders look so goofy and are probably dangerous 


I dont understand the language, but translating it says " it's just a 5w lamp, there's no issue"

It's not about the wattage, but the voltage, which is probably 230. Wrong side of your hand and your electrocuted

Though the idea wasn't quite a bad idea, though it is dangerous with bare metal.

But the thing is no one is that desperate for an E27 holder, proper holders aren't that expensive. A plastic one is about half a dollar and a ceramic one is two dollars

I think that is quite innovative 😃, and in places like some parts of India, where you probably can’t just go out and buy a lamp holder it’s probably the next best thing!
Yeah it’s dangerous, but they probably don’t have a wiring code or a BS 7671 like western countries have?
Not a fan of the screws as the wood could get damp?, but the wire thing is quite genius thinking 🤔

I have done something similar here, you gotta do what you gotta do!

I wonder if there's a version for B22 lamps, maybe 2 hook-shaped wires to hold the pins on the side and 2 screws for the contacts?


The E27 wire one would be safer if they put the top half of a plastic bottle on it

The real danger here is fire

Wood is not a perfect insulator, it does pass some leakage current, initially tiny in the 100's uA range or less. The current breaks down the material and turns the wood into elemental carbon, slowly creating a carbon filament embedded within the thickness of the wood beam between the metal screws

As more wood is converted into carbon, the process accelerates. At some point it will abruptly turn into a runaway, with a glowing carbon filament igniting the wood from within

Additionally, this conversion to carbon removes any structural strength from the wood in the same way as rot does. It looks like they put those screws into a beam that is part of the house. This one does not seem structurally critical (it's not a huge beam, and there is no array of identical ones through the room), but if it's anything significant, something might come crashing down if the fire won't get it first
