Buying Guide – Selecting the Right Holder
- E14 vs E17 – E14 is the European small Edison screw standard; E17 is the North American/Japanese intermediate standard. They are not interchangeable — confirm your market's standard and lamp base before ordering.
- Thermoplastic vs ceramic – use ceramic holders for halogen lamps above 40W or in enclosed fixtures; thermoplastic is suitable for LED and low-wattage CFL lamps.
- Holder type – select pendant for hanging fixtures, batten for surface-mount strip lighting, panel-mount for OEM fixture integration, or keyless for fixed wiring installations.
- Wire gauge – standard connection wire is 0.5mm² to 1.0mm² (AWG 20–18); use silicone-insulated wire for ceramic holders in high-temperature applications.
- Voltage & current rating – confirm the holder's rated voltage (250V AC) and current (2A) are appropriate for your lamp and circuit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between E14 and E17?
E14 (14mm thread) is the European small Edison screw (SES) standard, used in candle, globe, and specialty lamps across Europe and Asia. E17 (17mm thread) is the North American and Japanese intermediate Edison screw standard, used in range hood, microwave, and specialty fixture lamps. They are not interchangeable.
Are E14 holders compatible with LED lamps?
Yes. E14 LED lamps are widely available and are direct replacements for CFL and halogen E14 lamps. Standard thermoplastic E14 holders are fully compatible with LED lamps, which generate significantly less heat than halogen equivalents.
Do I need a ceramic holder for halogen E14 lamps?
For halogen E14 lamps above 40W or in enclosed fixtures with restricted airflow, ceramic holders are recommended. For LED and low-wattage CFL lamps, thermoplastic holders are suitable.
Can I use E14 holders in North American markets?
E14 is not the standard base in North America (where E12 candelabra and E17 intermediate are more common). Confirm the lamp base standard for your target market before specifying E14 holders for North American applications.
Do you offer bulk pricing for OEM luminaire production?
Yes. Yoeruyo offers tiered pricing for orders of 100 units or more across all holder types and base sizes. Contact us for volume quotations, custom lead wire configurations, and OEM packaging options.
