Can someone tell me what a B15 lamp holder is?
a holder for a B15 sized lamp...Blushing:p

Hi Music:DGuiness Drink

Your bog standard traditional light bulbs are either.....

Bayonet Cap or Edison Screw fittings approx 22mm diameter.

you can also get the miniature equivalents of each of these approx 15mm & 14mm diameter.

The type of fitting that a lamp or holder has is often abbreviated..

Bayonets:-

BC or B22 = Standard big Bayonet Cap.

SBC or B15 = Sub-miniature Bayonet Cap.

Screws:-

ES or E22 = Standard big Edison Screw.

SES or E14 = Sub-miniature Edition Screw.

I think those are most of the common description... ?:|

I learn something everyday. Someone told me once the SES and SBC stood for 'small' :D
You may well be right?

different manufactures may have their own terminology....

I may well stand corrected (Pants ready to go on head)

or we may both be right?

I have forgotten where a read the Sub-min description now?

anyway.........

There are also MES (E10) & LES (E5) used in more electronicy area not so much mains voltage lectwrics....
