Here at Creative Cables, we have 40mm sized components which is a European size and the new norm. In Australia many of the older style lamp holder are 27mm so we do keep some of these on site for lamp repairers.

This is always the easiest way to get the look you like. All our lamp holders for light shade have dimensions on the website. The body is 40mm with the widest part of the ring going up to 52mm. This gives more flexibility for the designer.
