Faulty Lampholder Replaced with New

A flickering or non-responsive stair light in an Edinburgh tenement doesn't always point to a timer or wiring fault—frequently, the culprit is a degraded lampholder inside the fitting. Continuous heat from traditional fluorescent tubes causes plastic lampholders to become brittle, scorch, and break apart, breaking the electrical contact needed to ignite the lamp.

On a recent callout, we identified a scorched, crumbling lampholder that was preventing the stair light from striking. To safely restore illumination, we:

• Isolated the power supply to the lighting circuit.

• Removed the damaged, heat-degraded lampholder housing.

• Installed a durable new replacement lampholder and tested the connection to ensure stable, flicker-free operation.

Instead of continually replacing worn-out internal components, eliminate ballast and lampholder failures altogether by upgrading to an energy-efficient LED Conversion.
