Leviton 493 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Leviton 493 the stationary end or the spring-loaded end of the fixture?
Stationary. The 493 is a pedestal base holder with a fixed contact end, so it anchors one end of the lamp. A lamp needs one fixed end and one spring-loaded end to seat properly, so order the matching spring-loaded pedestal holder for the other side of the fixture.
2) What voltage and wattage is the Leviton 493 fluorescent lampholder rated for?
660W at 600V, which covers high output linear fluorescent circuits in commercial and industrial fixtures. That rating is the one to check against the ballast and fixture label before you swap a holder in.
3) Can the Leviton 493 lampholder handle the heat inside an enclosed industrial fixture?
The body is thermoset, not a thermoplastic, so it holds its shape and resists heat buildup and impact in hot fixture housings. Contacts are silver-plated copper alloy, which keeps conductivity steady and cuts arcing over repeated relamping.
4) Is the Leviton 493 suitable for repairing an existing fluorescent fixture, or only for new fixture builds?
Both. The 493 is a linear-type lampholder used for lampholder replacement and fixture repair as well as new fixture assembly by fixture manufacturers. The deciding factor is whether the fixture uses pedestal base recessed double contact sockets, not whether the job is new or retrofit.
5) Will the Leviton 493 work in an LED tube retrofit?
No. The 493 is a fluorescent lampholder with recessed double contact ends. LED tube conversions use single-pin or bi-pin sockets and generally require their own holders and ballast bypass wiring, so specify a lampholder matched to the LED tube base instead.
6) How do I confirm the Leviton 493 matches the socket mounting in my fixture?
Leviton publishes technical information for the 493 covering its pedestal base configuration; check that against your fixture's socket bracket before ordering. The key match points are pedestal style base, stationary (non-spring) end, and recessed double contact.
