Lamp holder for Strand Prelude

[ocfe]

Can anyone suggest a stockist / manufacturer of replacement lamp holders for Strand Prelude?

Stage electrics carry them. You'll need to drill out the spot welds and replace with suitable screws. We've done a few.

Not a bad job to do overall. I tend to leave the spot-welded metalwork in place and drill out the rivets into the ceramic base, then use a couple of small machine screws/washers/nuts to affix the new ceramic holder. The screws need to be something small, something like M2.5x20 (but don't hold me to that, although I could look it up on some I've done if you need).

 

Looks like we were chatting about Preludes (and other things) here too if you wanted any more background:

I completely remove the old lamp base by cold chisel and grinding the old spot welds off. Make sure you mark positions for new securing holes for screws/rivets before removing the old base!
