White PAR38 surface-mount lampholder with medium base socket

W F Harris Lighting

W F Harris Lighting 101-W PAR38 Lampholder 150W

SKU CH-N959-GSV3W

A white surface-mount lampholder rated for 150 W incandescent PAR38 lamps with a standard E26 base

  • UL 1598 listed for safety compliance
  • 150 W capacity supports PAR38 lamps
  • Standard E26 base fits common bulbs
  • Surface mount installs on flat surfaces
  • White polyester housing resists outdoor elements

Single PAR38 Surface Lampholder

This W F Harris Lighting lampholder accepts one PAR38 lamp with a standard medium E26 base. The white polyester housing mounts directly to a surface and is rated for 150 W at 130 V AC. It carries UL 1598 certification and ships without a lamp included.

Replaces worn or outdated outdoor sockets

Use this unit when an existing PAR38 lampholder is cracked, corroded or no longer holds the lamp securely. The upgrade is worthwhile if the fixture housing is damaged but the wiring and mounting location remain sound. It restores a safe connection for incandescent PAR38 lamps up to the rated wattage.

Not for enclosed fixtures or voltages above 130 V AC

Verify that the supply voltage does not exceed 130 V AC and that the mounting surface can support the housing. The lampholder is not rated for enclosed or recessed installations where heat buildup could exceed the 150 W limit. Buyers needing multiple lamp heads or a different base type must select another product.

Questions about this item

What are the mounting dimensions for the 101-W PAR38 lampholder?

The fixture measures 5 inches high, 5 inches wide and 5 3/4 inches deep, so allow that footprint plus clearance for the PAR38 lamp on a flat surface.

How do I wire the 150 W lampholder to a 130 V AC supply without violating the UL 1598 listing?

Connect the supply leads to the screw terminals inside the polyester housing, secure the ground to the green screw, then torque the cover screws to the torque printed on the label before energising.

When should I replace the E26 socket in this 150 W lampholder?

Replace the socket if the lamp flickers, the base shows discoloration or the spring contact no longer grips the PAR38 lamp firmly after repeated relamping.
