T8 LED tube installations require more than just the tube itself. The correct lampholder provides a secure electrical connection to the G13 pins, while retaining clips support the tube along its length to help prevent movement and provide a neat, professional installation.
Whether you're building a new LED tube fitting, replacing worn components or converting an existing fluorescent fitting to LED, our range of T8 lampholders and retaining clips provides a simple and reliable solution.
G13 Push-On Lampholders
A G13 lampholder is designed to provide the electrical connection for T8 LED tubes and traditional fluorescent tubes fitted with a G13 cap. The tube is installed by aligning the two pins with the lampholder before pushing or rotating the tube into its operating position, depending on the fitting design.
Our push-on G13 lampholder is manufactured from durable polycarbonate and is suitable for use when building new fittings or replacing damaged tube end caps.
T8 LED Tube Retaining Clips
Retaining clips are used to securely support T8 LED tubes along their length, preventing sagging and reducing movement once installed. They are particularly useful on longer LED tubes where additional support may be required between the lampholders.
Manufactured from clear polycarbonate, our T8 retaining clips provide a discreet fixing solution while allowing the tube to remain the primary visual focus.

Choosing the Right T8 Accessory
If you require an electrical connection for a T8 LED tube, choose a G13 Push-On Lampholder. If you simply need to support the tube along its length, a Clear Polycarbonate Retaining Clip provides a quick and unobtrusive fixing solution.
Many installations use both products together, with lampholders supporting the tube at each end and retaining clips providing additional support along the centre of the tube where required.
