Do you know the types of lamp holders and how to choose the right one?
First, you need to understand the kinds of bulbs you'd like to purchase.

LED
Compact fluorescent lamp bulbs are the energy-saving successor to traditional bulbs. But now it's gradually replaced by environmental-friendly LED lights. LED bulbs use existing interface methods, i.e. screw-in (E26\E27\E14, etc.), bulb base (B22, etc.) and even imitate the shape of incandescent bulbs in order to comply with people's usage habits.
Second, you should choose the right light bulb base.
Here are the key types of lamp bulb base: bayonet cap, Edison Screw, GU bases and R-type base.
1 bayonet cap
Popular bayonet style with opposing angles for insertion into a holder.
B is used to denote the bayonet in the name of the bulb. - Example: B22
2 Edison Screw
The threaded Edison screw type, or ES, is now more widely used than the bayonet type.
The E in the name of the bulb indicates this type of base - for example E27.
The following picture clearly shows the difference between the Bayonet cap and Edison Screw.
3 GU bases
GU bases comprise GU4, GU10 and other types currently used in some modern halogen and LED bulb designs. They feature two protruding prongs with a rounded head that twists and locks into place. G stands for double or multi-pin base, while U stands for universal. The G base features two thinner prongs that can be quickly inserted into compatible slots. You will find it suitable for a wide range of light bulbs including fluorescent tubes (G5 bulbs), LED strips and halogen bulbs (G4 bulbs) which are normally used in kitchen appliances.
4 R-type base
It has recessed contact points and a ceramic tip. A prominent example of use is the R7 bulb, a linear halogen bulb for floodlights, which can also be used as an LED lamp.
3.Pendant Sets:
