Lampholder
Product Code : SCL-MBAVTOB-12928
The lampholder apparatus by Educational Instrument helps students observe how a lamp behaves when connected in a simple electric circuit. It is commonly used to demonstrate closed circuits, open circuits, switches, series connections, parallel connections and the effect of current through a load.
This product is intended for supervised low-voltage educational experiments.
Key Features
Clear circuit load demonstration: Shows current flow through a lamp when the circuit is complete.
Useful for basic electricity lessons: Supports experiments on open circuits, closed circuits and switching.
Suitable for school labs: Designed for supervised physics, electronics and STEM classroom activities.
Low-voltage educational use: Intended for classroom circuit work; exact voltage and current rating.
Simple terminal connection: Allows connection with suitable leads, cells, switches and circuit boards.
Reusable teaching component: Suitable for repeated demonstrations when handled and stored correctly.
Visible learning outcome: Helps students connect circuit diagrams with real lamp illumination.

How to Use the Lampholder
Place the lampholder apparatus on a dry, stable and non-conductive laboratory bench.
Insert only the compatible bulb type and rating confirmed for the holder.
Connect the lampholder in series with the power source and switch as shown in the circuit diagram.
Use the recommended low-voltage educational supply or cell holder.
Close the circuit and observe whether the bulb glows.
Rearrange the circuit to compare series and parallel lamp connections, if required.
Disconnect the power source before removing the bulb or changing wires.
Safety note: Use the lampholder apparatus only with the recommended low-voltage educational source. Do not connect it to mains electricity unless a verified certified rating and protective design specifically allow it.
Care & Maintenance
Keep the socket, contacts and terminals clean, dry and dust-free.
Check for loose terminals, damaged insulation or broken bulbs before use.
Do not exceed the confirmed bulb, voltage or current rating.
Store the lampholder in a dry cabinet away from moisture and corrosive chemicals.
