G9 LED bulb socket holder, with thread for lampshade
Description
I found a lampshade holder with a broken lamp socket, decided to repurpose it with an energy-efficent G9 LED bulb (4W with same light as an old 40W incandescent bulb), but all I could find on eBay/Amazon were socket holders for the bulb only. None would fit the purpose. So here it is, a 18mm ID (30mm OD) block for those ceramic G9 bulb holders. The small ceramic holder fits snug inside, you can use the two small holes inside (m2.5 screw) or use high-temperature JB-Weld or similar Epoxy glue although this would be a problem if one day you'll have to replace the wire. The bottom side of the block has an internal M10x1 thread to fit most common threaded stubs. Or you can drill smooth +JB-weld/Epoxy. On the top side there's an external M26x1.5 thread, with a large nut, to hold a lampshade. Inside there's a 5mm hole that goes all the way through, to run a 2-core electric wire. This buld holder must be printed with ABS, or PETG or Nylon, do not use PLA due to its poor heat resistance.
