[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 3319, member: 250"] Hi I pressume this is this the sort of lamp holder that has a thread on the back and scews onto the main fitting? you can most certainly get them as KME shows... also I think even some of the B&Q depots have them. You may somtimes need a thread adaptor / reducer bit to interface between the new brass holder and the light fitting? I did a re-furb a couple of years back on a load of brass wall & ceiling lights. I also re-threaded new wire through each lamp holder cuz sometimes if they have come off the wires behind have been twisted to death & thier insulation cracks & perishes? so double check the wires before connecting a new lamp hoilder.... it may be good if you can get an insulation resistance test done on the fitting itself before reconnecting it to the main house wiring? :) :) [/QUOTE]
