Product details
The critical advantage over every other type of fitting is that it is simple to operate one-handed, leaving the other hand free to steady oneself whilst reaching overhead to a pendant fitting.
This makes the task, quicker and easier for all, bringing benefit to both businesses and homes. Maintenance costs associated with replacing bulbs can be reduced by a factor of three, and using the magnetic fitting helps companies fully comply with heath and safety legislation.
Instead of using two hands to twist the bulb in and out of the socket, the magnetic fitting lets the bulb simply glide in and out. The design guides the bulb smoothly into place and the magnets retain the bulb safely and securely, to make light bulb changing easy.
Changing a bulb one handed is much quicker and easier.

According to our research, 70% of people questioned knew someone who had difficulty changing light bulbs. The task is so inconvenient because it requires intricate yet forceful movements with two hands and is often out of reach and hard to see. Many people find these actions difficult. The magnetic light fitting solves all these problems.
The novel elements of the magnetic fitting design have been protected by patent application WO2007015093 filed in August 2005. It is the considered opinion of the patent attorney representing the company that the product is defensible, shows technological advantage, and does not infringe upon previous applications. Two subsequent patent applications, GB 26561 GB 26562 were filed in September 2007 to protect developments.
The magnetic fitting is designed to work in harmony with existing fittings.
There are versions of this product to suit both bayonet and Edison screw fittings. The bayonet version is pictured here. The screw version operates in a similar way.
So how does it work?
The design comes in two parts.
A cap slips over a standard light bulb, as shown above. The cap has integral ferrous plates which are attracted to magnets.
The second part clips onto a standard light fitting as shown on the left. This clip contains the magnets to retain the bulb.
This is done only once, once fitted it may be forgotten.
