Lighting Fixtures – How to Replace G24q-1 (4-pins) with a B22 Bayonet

cfllight-fixturelighting

Having recently moved house, I've noticed that the majority of the lighting upstairs is running CFLs using a type of connection that I am unfamiliar with (research says it's a G24q-1 cap but see photos below).

I'm looking to replace these with standard B22 Bayonet caps. However, since I'm unfamiliar with the G24q-1 cap I wanted to make sure that my approach is sound.

Here is the current configuration of what I believe to be a G24q-1

and a closeup of what I believe to be a G24q-1 cap that is currently fitted

and here is the B22 Bayonet cap I have bought that I wish to fit

Now, my question is do I simply remove the existing base and fit the pendant in its place. Ensuring that all wires match up to where they are in the current arrangement (3/7 and 4/8) in the first picture?

Best Answer

The ballast etc is inside the Eterna LEP13 lampholder and you can just change the lampholder or the pendant and leave the ceiling rose as it is.

This is a misguided attempt under Building Regs that require a certain proportion of lighting points in new build houses to be 'low energy'.
