threaded nut on g9 lampholder
Hi All
I have a ceiling light with 3x g9 bulbs. The glass shades are help on using a threaded nut which screws around the g9 lampholder. The nut has a 'cogged' or splined outer and the fitting came with a (cheap, plastic) box spanner affair for undoing the nut. Every time I have to take the fitting off I have trouble because (a) the spanner is so cheap, and (b) the nut is not a smooth fit on the lampholder. This last time, the nut has finally broken in two, so I will have to find an alternative. 1) any suggested source for decent (or even semi-decent) such threaded nuts for g9 bulbholders? I assume the thread is standard for these. 2) similarly for a decent box spanner design... 3) could I use some sort of high-temperature grease to ease the fit of the nut onto the lampholder? Thanks for any thoughts jon N |
