What happens if it is broken - (may have been asked already) - is there any electric shock risk?
I would have thought that if supplied by an isolating transformer, the shock risk would be negligible if the output is not ground referenced.

in my opinion, the most dangerous electrical fitting in most houses is the good old BC lamp holder. possible to access live terminals without any special tool by untrained people often working in the dark.
 
Round that neck of the woods they are most likely to be on the outside and made of metal ;)

Most of ours are plywood, so I instead of washing them I just sand them down every now and again.

I was thinking the exact same thing at the weekend, whilst stopping my daughter from putting her hand under a shade to switch a table lamp on with nowt in the lamp holder.
Which reminds me, there is something I need to do.
