MERCURY Lyyt | Lamp Socket Converter | B22 to E27 - Bayonet to Edison

Product Information

Perfect way to change bayonet to screw fitting Verified Reviewer Had been looking for a converter for a while but hadn’t seen them in IKEA before Instead of having to change the existing light fittings this is an elegant solution, just take the old bayonet light bulb out, put the converter in its place and then screw in the new bulb. We've just moved house and I'm looking to install IKEA screw fit smart bulbs into all of our rooms - fourteen bulbs in total. I'm not a fan of the E27 to bayonet fittings we had in our old place so I'm looking to replace all of the pendants out with E27 ones.

Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent. They are actually Philips Hue smart LED bulbs which are pretty expensive hence trying to find a solution for them. Simple solution Verified Reviewer Easy way to convert existing bayonet fitting into a screw fitting, I wanted to upgrade to a smart bulb with a screw fitting and this worked well, it was literally as simple to install as changing a light bulb. You have a 50/50 chance of plugging them in and getting the outer screw thread connected to the live or the neutral.

If you have B22 lamps (bulbs) you want to fit into an E27 holder, then you are converting E27 to B22, which should pose no problem. To view the purposes they believe they have legitimate interest for, or to object to this data processing use the vendor list link below. However, installing an E27 lamp (bulb) into a B22 holder means that potentially the screw of the adapter/holder, and thence the lamp (bulb) could be live as there is no polarity with B22.

If/when I do, if I make sure 100% sure it's switched off at the light switch (or for extra good measure, turn of the lighting fuse at the consumer unit) then surely this would be fine? I was wondering if to speed things up I can just change the actual pendant and leave the ceiling rose in situ to save having to rewire the whole thing fourteen times!RE the issues is this the possible risk around the metal standing proud and electrocution (hopefully it is I'm not aware of others if not! That could be interpreted in both ways depending on whether you're talking about holder to bulb or bulb to holder. Get it wrong and the exposed metal part of the lamp base can be connected to the live as it is inserted or removed.

If they were normal LED bulbs then I wouldn't have an issue replacing them but it's a hard pill to swallow for replacing the Hue bulbs. We and our partners use data for Personalised ads and content, ad and content measurement, audience insights and product development.

It's not ideal but perhaps this is enough precaution to see me through a couple of years before I replace them for E27 style bulbs. If you would like to change your settings or withdraw consent at any time, the link to do so is in our privacy policy accessible from our home page.
