The right solution for your setup
LED transformers, drivers & power supplies: constant current and constant voltage, halogen transformers, toroidal transformers, electronic ballasts, plug-in transformers, and converters – such as the RICOLED LED driver with 350mA constant current and IP20, the touch dimmer transformer for 50–160 watts, or the US halogen converter up to 105 watts. You can find the complete selection in our specialized collections for transformers & LED drivers, LED power supplies, and constant current drivers. From brands like Relco, Sompex, Paulmann, Bruck, and Starlicht.
Sockets: E27, E14, GU10, GU5.3, MR16, MR11, LV sockets, T2 and Houben sockets – precision-fit for repairs and conversions, such as the Paulmann universal halogen socket 12V for cable systems. You can find the matching bulbs in our bulb collection.
Dimmers & switches: inline cord switches, inline cord dimmers, floor dimmers, and foot switches for easy retrofitting, such as the Relco trailing-edge dimmer module for 25–300 watts. For hard-wired solutions, take a look at our LED & halogen dimmer collection.
Cables & extensions: wiring harnesses, AMP extension cables, and extension cables for light fixtures, such as the 10-pack wiring harness with T-connectors for recessed spotlights – everything you need for a neat installation.
Recessed spotlight spare parts & installation accessories: retaining springs for GU10, MR16, and MR11, such as the circlip Ø50mm for MR16 & GU10 or the smaller circlip Ø35mm for MR11, as well as mounting and fastening elements. This allows existing fixtures to be repaired instead of replaced – sustainably and economically. For classic fluorescent tubes, we also carry the 3-pack of starters for fluorescent tubes, 4–22 watts, and for retrofitting automatic switching, the PIR motion detector with IP44 protection.
Lamp glass & lampshades: glass covers and replacement shades for defective or converted fixtures, such as the conical fabric shade King in black with a striped pattern or the pleated check-pattern lampshade in beige-white. You can find a larger selection in our collections for lamp glass and lampshades.
What you should consider before buying
With spare parts, the exact specification is crucial – voltage, wattage, and connection type must match. When in doubt, a look at the old component or the fixture's label helps. With 30 years of expertise in lighting, we have the right answer for unusual inquiries as well.
How to find the right spare part
Take a photo of the defective component and the entire fixture. Measure the most important dimensions, such as diameter, length, or hole spacing. Note down the voltage as well as the wattage. And if available, take a photo of the fixture's identification plate – it often contains the model name and technical specifications, which make searching much easier.

Repair instead of discarding
A single defective component does not automatically mean the end of a light fixture. Often, a beloved or high-quality fixture can be used for many more years with the right spare part instead of replacing it entirely. This is not only easier on the wallet but also conserves resources – repair instead of discard.
Original or compatible?
An original spare part fits the respective fixture exactly and guarantees the best match, both visually and technically. A compatible spare part fulfills the same technical function but comes from a different manufacturer – often the only option when the original part is no longer in production. As long as the voltage, wattage, and connection dimensions match, a compatible spare part will generally work just as reliably.
Brands at Saasil
In our accessory and spare parts collection, you will find Sompex, Paulmann, Relco, Bruck, Briloner, and Starlicht, among others – established manufacturers whose components are used in many light fixtures.
Send photos instead of guessing
Are you unsure which spare part you need? Feel free to send us a photo of the identification plate or the defective component via email – this allows us to help you faster and more specifically, rather than searching in the dark.

Frequently asked questions
What is a circlip for recessed spotlights?
A circlip, also known as a spring ring or retaining ring, holds the bulb or glass ring in the recessed spotlight. If it breaks, the spotlight can often be repaired with a suitable replacement ring instead of replacing the entire fixture.
What is a starter needed for in fluorescent tubes?
A starter ignites the classic fluorescent tube when switched on. If a tube flickers severely or fails to ignite altogether, a defective starter is often the cause rather than the tube itself.
Can I retrofit an existing light fixture with a motion detector?
Yes, with a separate PIR motion detector module, an existing light fixture can be retrofitted with automatic switching.
Which socket matches my light fixture?
The most common are E27, E14, GU10, GU5.3, MR16, and MR11. You can usually identify the matching socket from the defective original socket or the fixture's technical designation.
What do I do if I cannot find the exact spare part?
Simply bring the affected light fixture or the defective component to our showroom in Wuppertal-Vohwinkel – we can examine it together and find a suitable solution.
