For LED lamps, more than 100 fittings are possible. Here is some additional explanation of some of the most common fittings.
LED Spotlights
- The GU10 fitting has a bayonet connection, these are 2 pins that can easily be connected. Mainly this connection is used for spotlights.
- GU5.3 fitting or MR16 fitting has a plug base or bipin base. The distance between the pins is indicated in the name of the fitting, i.e. 5.33 mm distance between the pins where the pins have a diameter of 1.56 mm. This socket is often used in small spotlights and connected to a transformer as these lamps need to be connected to 12V.
- The GX53 socket has a bayonet connection just like the GU10 socket but is flatter. The pins have a diameter of 5mm. You can put the pins in the holes of the plug and turn them a quarter turn and the spot works. Lamps with the GX53 fitting are often used in flat fixtures such as ground spots or ceiling lights and are connected to 230V.
- Furthermore, there is the G53 socket which is connected to 12V and therefore requires a transformer. Only AR111 light sources have a G53 fitting and is mainly used in surface mounted and recessed spotlights.
- GU4 LED lamps have an MR11 shape and the two pins are 4mm apart. They are connected to 12V where a transformer is applicable.
LED Lamps
- The E27 fitting with a 27mm thread is probably the most common fitting and is mainly used for most incandescent, low energy, halogen and LED lamps.
- The E14 fitting is smaller than the E27 fitting and is mainly used for the smaller incandescent, low energy, halogen and LED lamps. The thread of the E14 fitting is 14 mm.
LED Plug lamps
- The G4 fitting is also connected to 12V light sources, so you also need a transformer. This fitting has 2 pins with a distance between them of 4mm. It is very easy to connect via plug-in through the 2 pins. The diameter of one pin is 0.7 mm. Common connections with this fitting can be found in mood lighting, desk lamps, extractor hoods and more.
- The fitting G9 is a small lamp where small loops are connected via plug-in, these plug-in fitting with loops are 9 mm apart. Often you see that these G9 fittings are in small wall or ceiling lamps.
The GY6.35 fitting belongs to a capsule looking lamp and has a puncture fitting. There are 2 pins that you insert / prick into the lamp holder. You install this lamp with a transformer because it has to be connected to 12V, with the transformer you make sure there is not too much voltage on the lamp.
- The R7s fitting is a small tube lamp that is suitable for compact fixtures. Many R7s fittings are used in traditional construction lamps. This kind of fitting has a base on both sides.
