Product Description
Overview
The GX-9.5 is a high-temperature ceramic GX-9.5 lampholder socket for 1000 W / 1200 W (T19 / T29) lamps theatrical lamps used in KUPO Fresnel and Prism Convex fixtures. It is a service part for the hottest part of the fixture, where the lampholder has to keep electrical contact and physical shape through repeated lamp changes and long tungsten operating hours.
Why It Matters
The larger Fresnel and Prism Convex bodies put serious heat into the lampholder. Stocking the correct GX-9.5 ceramic socket lets a maintenance shop service high-wattage fixtures without compromising the lamp connection.
Key Features
- GX-9.5 ceramic socket matches the lamp base used in the specified wattage range.
- High-temperature ceramic construction holds up in the socket cavity where polymer materials would soften or deform.
- Replacement-part format supports fixture service without replacing the full Fresnel or Prism Convex body.
- Clear split from the sister socket helps crews stock the correct part for 500 W / 650 W or 1000 W / 1200 W lamp families.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose between GX-9.5 and GY-9.5°
Match the socket to the lamp range. GX-9.5 is for 1000 W / 1200 W fixtures, while GY-9.5 is for 500 W / 650 W fixtures.
Why ceramic instead of a plastic holder?
The socket sits directly behind a hot tungsten lamp, so ceramic keeps its shape and insulation properties under heat.
Is this a lamp or the socket only?
This is the lampholder socket only. The lamp is selected separately according to the fixture and wattage.
