Picture Light replacement

[Trumpetrob]

Hello
I have a picture light that takes a 221mm bulb, but the attachments to hold the bulb broke off years ago. Any advice as to where to find the required parts to hold a bulb, or could I rewire in a new bulb holder, and if so, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Rob

It's hard to tell but you may be able to retro fit some kind of small ES14 or G9 push fitting either end and fit a small lamp into them to give some even light (similar to a extractor fan lamp). This is the sort of thing some of those Repair cafes opening up in towns do.

If the light fitting is wide enough you could replace the old holder with a new 221mm complete fitting. https://tdspares.co.uk/product/strip-light-fitting-bulb-holder-30w-60w-221mm-double-ended-tubular-strip-light-and-fire-glow Ive not seen the bare holders in years, which is good as they often had exposed live parts at the ends of the holders.
