Straight replacement for batten lampholder

[littlespark]

Old Ashley Rock batten lampholder broken.
Is there a newer replacement that I can just change the lampholder part rather than the whole thing? Would make a 2 minute job change to 10 if I had to replace the whole thing.

CEF have Hager Ashley but don’t look like they fit the old bases.

The bases are identical to the ceiling roses with the loop in terminals.

Can’t change to pendants as very low ceilings, and doors would hit the lamps.

Just change it to a new batten one.

It's unusual for even simple things like lampholders to stay exactly the same design over time.
You may find it under a different name as old range products often get rebadged to cheaper names.

Maybe in Wilko's, but by then you'll have spent more time looking for a replacement than changing for new.?

If it's that old it's probably ready for changing anyway.

Yeh. I’ll just change to new ones.... but that means having to isolate the circuit as loop in lives. Like I said... 10 minute job when I could do it in 2

fit a nice LED dome light. why settle for a £40 call-out when you can make £100.

Sure you can't get a pendant in with a VERY short flex? The reason the lamp holder is broken in the first place is probably because it's low, rigidly fixed, and the lamp has been hit.
If there isn't room for a very short flex, then it probably should be changed for a flush enclosed fitting.

I think they call them 'Scottish' type ?

We scott’s may have a reputation for being tight in the wallet and often it is true, but raise our kilt and you will find we are not as short as rumour might suggest.

Job done.
Hager Ashley are perfect match for old Ashley Rock as I thought. Just the lampholder part moulding different, but the baseplate on the ceiling with the terminals is exactly the same.

there was two to change, so took me 4 minutes.
