I'm looking for a couple of replacement ceramic lampholders to go in a
disco lighting unit that's in for repair. This thing uses two 300 watt
bi-pin halogen capsule bulbs, with a pin spacing of about 6.3mm as close
as I can measure. They are straight pins, not the ones that are hooked
over at the ends. The original holders are a 3cm square with rounded off
corners, about 1cm thick. The top face is covered by a mica square fixed
by brass swaged-over tubes, which are also the mounting holes for the
holder. At the top of one side, just below the mica square, heat
resistant sleeved 'tails' emerge. The two fixing holes with the brass
tubes, are on the diagonal, but offset towards one side, and the holes
for the lamp pins are similarly offset form the centre, by the same
amount, and in the same direction.

I have searched high and low on the 'net for this holder, but drawn a
blank. Lots of places sell the standard round ceramic bases with tails
attached, for 5mm pin pitch halogen bulbs, but no sign of holders for
these bigger ones. I'm pretty sure that I did actually see them on just
one site, but it was an American trader, and I don't suppose they would
want to ship a couple to the UK at a worthwhile price. I found that one
quite early on, but discarded it because it was a U.S. company, and I
figured if they had them, others nearer home would too. No such luck, and
of course, I can't find that same site again. So, does anyone know what
the official designation of this style of bulb is, or a name or
designation for the holder, so that I can be a bit more targeted with
search strings ? Or of course, if anyone knows of a source for them ...
:-)

Oooops. Not the group I intended posting to. But since it's here now,
anyone know ?

Go on then:-)


Try "g 6.35 lamp holders" in google and I am sure you will find something to
match.
