Hmmm, not sure why that is. New to the forum so perhaps I didn't attach the image correctly. This is the fitting I have: https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32830762795.html?trace=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail&productId=32830762795&productSubject=200W-Max-1-8M-Power-Cord-E27-Lamp-Base-Reptile-Ceramic-Heating-Light-Bulb-Lamp-Holder

But yes that is exactly what I'm trying to do. I couldn't find any fittings that come with the clip attached that take higher wattages (seem to only take 60W), I had gotten ceramic so I could go up to 200W.

Hey Tom,

 

Your picture/attachment hasn't come through. Are you saying that you're trying to physically add a second, 100w bulb under the lampshades, alongside their existing 40wattever bulbs?

Hi all, I have recently taken to using 100w tungsten bulbs to add to existing practical fixtures, giving them a bit more punch.

However, not coming from an electrician's background I have no idea how to go about rigging them safely and quickly to a traditional lamp which doesn't have a socket for multiple bulbs...

Some type of clamp to the frame of the lamp perhaps? Something to keep the heat off the shade?

Thanks in advance,

Tom

P.S I am currently working with an attachment similar to the attached picture, except ceramic so it can take higher wattages.
