The workhorse clamp lamp: an aluminium dome on a porcelain socket, with an in-line switch and a clamp that will grip most enclosure rims and stands. The porcelain socket is the important part — it is rated for ceramic heat emitters, halogen and mercury vapour lamps, which a plastic-socket clamp lamp is not. Pick the size by the wattage you intend to run, not by the enclosure.
Features
- Two sizes — 14cm dome rated to 100W, 21.5cm dome rated to 150W.
- Porcelain socket — rated for ceramic heat emitters, halogen, incandescent and PowerSun mercury vapour lamps.
- In-line on/off switch.
- Heavy-gauge aluminium dome with a spring clamp.
Safety
Never exceed the wattage rating marked on the fixture. Make sure the clamp has a secure purchase before you leave it — a hot lamp that falls into an enclosure is a serious hazard. Position it above a screen top rather than inside the enclosure.
