ARNOLD HOUBEN HOUB 100591 Push-Through G13 Lampholder with Cams for T8/T12 Lamps, 26/38mm Diameter, White

For fluorescent luminaires that demand a secure, tool-free lamp change, the ARNOLD HOUBEN HOUB 100591 push-through G13 lampholder with cams stands out. Unlike standard twist-lock or slide-in sockets, this holder allows lamps to be inserted from either end without rotating the tube—ideal for tandem fixtures and tight spaces. The integrated cams grip the lamp pins firmly, preventing accidental dislodgement due to vibration or thermal cycling, while the 26/38 mm diameter compatibility covers both T8 and T12 fluorescent tubes.

Highlights

• Push-through design for quick lamp replacement from either side
• Built-in cams ensure reliable lamp retention
• Accepts T8 (26 mm) and T12 (38 mm) fluorescent lamps
• Rated for 250 V / 2 A, suitable for most fluorescent ballast circuits
• Quick-connect screwless terminals speed up wiring
• Thermoplastic housing with copper alloy contacts for durability
• VDE and ENEC certified for safety

In daily use

Installing the HOUB 100591 is straightforward: the through-hole mounting method allows the lampholder to be snapped into a pre-punched panel or bracket without additional hardware. The screwless terminals accept solid or stranded wires from 0.5 to 1.0 mm², and the clear polarity marking reduces wiring errors. In operation, the holder remains cool to the touch (T110 rating) and the IP20 protection is adequate for typical indoor luminaires. The white housing blends seamlessly with most fixture designs, and the cams provide an audible click when the lamp is fully seated.
