Cursed "homemade" E27 lampholders « on: December 17, 2025, 05:49:33 AM » Author: LightsAreBright27
https://youtube.com/shorts/ruygyDt8Wks 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 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
