Swivels and extension sleeves

Swivels and extension sleeves: flexibility and precision for your lighting installations

Swivels and extension sleeves are essential components when you need to adjust angles, extend arms or adapt parts of a lamp or lighting structure. These accessories add flexibility and make it easier to achieve the desired orientation and height, especially in custom or complex lighting projects. At Lighting DIY, we offer a wide variety of sizes, materials and finishes to suit all lamp designs and installation needs.

1. What are swivels and extension sleeves?

• Swivels (rótulas): joints that allow rotation and tilt, enabling you to change the direction of the light source.

• Extension sleeves (manguitos extensores): tubular pieces that increase the length of a lamp’s arm, rod or support to achieve the required height or separation.

2. Uses and applications

• Wall lamps and sconces: adjust the projection and angle of the light.

• Ceiling lamps and pendants: add height or modify the drop distance.

• Multi-arm lamps: connect and extend arms for balanced designs.

• DIY and restoration projects: replace worn parts or create new configurations.

3. Types and finishes available
Our catalogue includes:

• Fixed and adjustable swivels with 90º or 360º rotation.

• Extension sleeves in different lengths and diameters to match standard lamp rods.

• Options in metal (brass, chrome, nickel, black and white) for durability and style.

• Models compatible with E27 and E14 lamp holders, tubes and supports.

4. Advantages of using swivels and extension sleeves

• Flexibility: adapt the direction and height of your lamps to the space.

• Precision: achieve balanced, symmetrical designs in multi-light installations.

• Durability: made from robust materials designed for repeated use.

• Professional finish: integrate seamlessly with the rest of the lamp’s components.
