Electric Shock Risk Warning for B&Q Lamp Converters
Masterlite has issued an urgent safety alert over its B22 to E27 lampholder converters. These devices, sold at B&Q between October 2019 and March 2020, pose a serious electric shock hazard.
Dangerous Fault in All Batches Sold
The problem? If you try to replace an E27 lamp without switching off the mains first, you risk direct contact with live internal parts. This could lead to a nasty electric shock.
Importantly, all batches of the affected converters are included in this warning. The product in question is:
- B22 – E27 Lampholder Converter (Code: 90411)
- Barcode: 5014838904114

If you own one of these converters, don’t risk it. Contact the Masterlite helpline immediately for advice and assistance.

Masterlite apologises for any inconvenience and urges customers to cooperate fully. They stress that this safety issue affects only the specific converter mentioned. All other Masterlite lighting products remain safe.
