Honest buyer note: Our lamps are handwoven by village artisans in Bali and Java, so expect natural colour variation and a size tolerance of roughly ±1–3 cm on larger shades. All prices, MOQs, lead times and container counts are indicative ranges (2024–2025, FOB Indonesia) and final pricing is by quote. Standard wiring is E27 at 220–240 V; we can supply CE-compliant wiring or shade-only (no electrics) so you meet UL/UKCA or local standards in your market — we don’t imply certification we don’t hold. Natural fibre is moisture-sensitive, so we dry, treat and pack appropriately and recommend acclimatisation on arrival. Rattan is generally not CITES-listed. We coordinate vetted workshops and handle export documentation.
e27 wiring voltage rattan lamps refers to how the E27 lampholder, cable and plug are specified and wired to match different market voltages in natural-fiber lighting. For rattan pendants, floor and table lamps, the right E27, wiring and voltage choice depends entirely on your target market’s standards (EU/UK 220–240V vs US 110–120V) and certification strategy.
What “E27 Wiring & Voltage” Actually Means for Rattan Lamps
E27 is only the lamp cap and lampholder size. It does not, by itself, define voltage, certification or plug type.
For rattan lamps, you are really specifying four separate things:
- Cap / lampholder type
- E27 (26–27 mm Edison screw) vs E26 (US). Many importers accept E27 for both with suitable bulbs.
- Voltage rating
- Cable and lampholder designed for 220–240V (EU/UK/AU) or 110–120V (US/CA/JP).
- Certification / conformity
- CE-conform wiring sets for Europe vs shade-only (no wiring) for markets that need UL/ETL.
- Plug type
- EU 2-pin, UK 3-pin, AU/NZ, or no plug (pendant can be hard-wired by electrician).
For rattan pendants, buyers often request “lampholder rattan pendant, E27, 220–240V, CE” as a shorthand spec for the full wiring kit.
Market-by-Market Basics: Rattan Lamp Voltage EU vs US
Rattan lamp voltage EU vs US is mainly about two things: mains voltage and downstream certification.
EU / UK / EEA (220–240V)
Most of our wired export volume goes to EU and UK projects, where E27 is standard.
Typical setup:
– Voltage: 220–240V
– Lampholder: E27, heat-resistant (usually thermoplastic or porcelain)
– Cable: 2 x 0.75 mm² or 3 x 0.75 mm² (with earth) PVC or textile-covered, 300/500V rating
– Plug:
– Pendants: usually supplied for hard-wiring (no plug)
– Floor/table lamps: EU 2-pin or UK 3-pin plug on request
– Compliance:
– Built to support CE conformity under Low Voltage Directive + RoHS
– We can support documentation (component specs, basic conformity info); final CE responsibility is on the importer/brand
Most EU buyers accept factory-wired E27 sets, then handle final testing and declarations in their own country.
US / Canada (110–120V)
Here the question shifts from “which voltage?” to “who is responsible for UL/ETL?”.
– Voltage: 110–120V
– Lampholder: E26 is standard in North America; many buyers will accept E27 shades only and assemble with UL-listed E26 sets locally
– Plug: NEMA 1-15 or 5-15, usually fitted in the destination country for UL-listed assemblies
– Compliance:
– Large retailers require UL or ETL listing for wired products
– For small–mid importers, the lowest-friction model is:
– We supply shade-only (no wiring, no lampholder)
– You install UL-listed E26 pendants, cords and plugs in the US/Canada
We do not present our Indonesian-made wiring as UL- or ETL-listed. For North America we strongly recommend shade-only rattan pendants, floor and table lamp bodies, then local wiring.
Other Markets (AU/NZ, Middle East, Asia)
– AU / NZ: 230–240V system; E27 common and AS/NZS 3112 plug. Many buyers replicate their EU wiring strategy, then get local approvals where necessary.
– Middle East: often 220–240V with EU-style plugs, project-by-project requirements (especially for hospitality).
– Japan: 100V; many Japanese partners still buy 220–240V shade-only and fit local-approved sets.
For any market outside EU/UK: the safest compliance route is shade-only, then using certified local wiring kits.
Shade-Only vs Fully Wired Rattan Lamps
From a sourcing standpoint, you choose between three basic offers:
1. Shade-Only (No Wiring, No Lampholder)
What you get:
– Handwoven rattan shade or lamp body only
– Fitted metal frame where needed
– Hanging loop, support rings, or tripod mounts depending on model
Who uses this:
– Importers needing UL/ETL
– Design brands that want their own branded lampholders and cords
– Lighting wholesalers with local electricians and test labs
Pros:
– Simplest import classification (decorative article)
– Avoids electrical certification headaches
– Flexibility: same shade can be wired for EU, US, UK, AU, etc.
Cons:
– You handle wiring assembly costs and QC
– Extra work on your side before retail
2. Wired for EU/UK (E27, 220–240V)
What you get:
– Rattan shade + E27 lampholder set + cord (and plug for floor/table on request)
– Often packed with wiring separate in carton to prevent pressure on the weave
Who uses this:
– EU/UK/EEA importers comfortable managing CE documentation and random batch testing
– Hospitality project buyers needing plug-and-play pendants for 220–240V
Pros:
– Ready-to-sell wired product after your own incoming QC
– Consistent drop length, color and components across containers
Cons:
– Electrical product classification; more responsibilities at customs and retail
– Less flexible if you decide to shift some stock to another voltage market
3. Hybrid: Shade + Loose Wiring Set
We can also ship:
– Shade-only in one polybag
– Matching wiring set (E27, cable, canopy) in a second polybag within same master
This keeps mechanical damage lower and allows you to reconfigure wiring if local standards shift.
Key Technical Specs for Lampholder Rattan Pendant Sets
For B2B purchasing, exact specs matter more than marketing language. Below is a typical baseline for our EU-focused lampholder rattan pendant sets (subject to change by project):
| Component | Typical Spec (EU-focused) | Options / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Lampholder | E27, 220–240V, max 40–60W (LED recommended) | Thermoplastic or porcelain; ringed for shade fixing if required |
| Cable | 2 x 0.75 mm², 300/500V rated, PVC or textile | Standard drops 1–2 m; color: white/black/natural tones |
| Ceiling canopy | Metal, powder-coated; 80–120 mm diameter | White, black, brass-like finishes possible |
| Plug (floor/table) | EU 2-pin or UK 3-pin | By request; otherwise cord only for hard-wiring |
| Voltage | 220–240V AC | US/CA buyers: shade-only; fit 110–120V kits locally |
| Bulb type | E27 LED recommended | Warm white (2700–3000K) shows rattan color best |
All electrical and metal components are sourced in Java (mainly around Cirebon) and assembled with the rattan shades in Java or Bali, depending on the collection.
Materials, Moisture & Electrical Safety
Rattan is a natural, moisture-sensitive material. E27 wiring voltage rattan lamps have two risk lines you need to manage: the organic shade itself and the electrical parts inside it.
Raw Material & Drying
– Origin: Most cane we use is from Kalimantan and Sulawesi, processed in Java.
– Drying: Air-dried and kiln-assisted; we target moisture levels compatible with export shipping, but:
– Tropical-to-temperate shipping always carries some condensation risk
– Rattan will move (shrink/expand) with humidity changes
What this means for you:
– Slight distortions or minor ovalisation of round shades are normal
– Tight “no movement at all” tolerances are unrealistic for natural fibre
Mould Risk & Packaging
Even with proper drying, a 6–8 week sea journey can create microclimates in cartons.
We mitigate by:
– Using ventilated cartons or polybags with air holes where possible
– Silica gel packs in master cartons for sensitive shapes
– Avoiding over-packing that traps moisture
Your side:
– Prioritize fast de-stuffing and warehouse ventilation on arrival
– Avoid long-term storage in sealed containers or cold, damp warehouses
Electrical safety tie-in:
– Mould on a shade is mainly aesthetic, but heavy moisture can impact metal frames and lampholder housings if storage is very poor
– Never power up wet fittings; ensure stock is dry before testing
Quality & Tolerances: Size, Color, Variance
We are candid: handmade natural-fibre shades will never achieve injection-moulded tolerances.
Typical expectations:
– Size tolerance: ±1–1.5 cm on diameter/height for large pendants
– Color variation: Natural and smoked finishes vary between lots, and sometimes within a single shade
– Weave variation: Slightly different tension and rhythm between weavers
For wiring:
– Drop lengths: ±2–3 cm variance on cable length
– Component color: powder-coat on canopies and lampholders is consistent batch-to-batch, but you may see slight gloss/matt differences if mixing POs months apart.
Our QC approach:
– Multi-stage checks (frame, raw weave, finishing, final assembly/packing)
– Electrical sets continuity-tested and visually checked; our checks are not a replacement for your local lab testing, but they reduce obvious failures on arrival
If you need tighter tolerances for high-end retail, we can define AQL levels in the purchase contract, but the underlying realities of handmade rattan remain.
FOB Price Ranges, MOQ & Container Loading (Wired vs Shade-Only)
Indicative 2024–2025 FOB by-quote ranges below are based on our own and peer-factory exports from Bali and Cirebon. Exact quotes depend on design complexity, finish, wiring spec and volume.
| Product Type | Typical Size Range | Indicative FOB Range* (wired) | Indicative FOB Range* (shade-only) | MOQ Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rattan pendant, simple open weave | Ø30–50 cm | ~US$12–22 | ~US$8–16 | ~50–100 pcs/size/color |
| Rattan pendant, large / complex frame | Ø60–90+ cm | ~US$22–45 | ~US$16–35 | ~30–60 pcs/size |
| Floor lamp with rattan shade | H120–160 cm | ~US$38–75 | ~US$30–60 | ~30–50 pcs/model |
| Table lamp with rattan shade | H35–60 cm | ~US$20–38 | ~US$15–30 | ~50–100 pcs/model |
*Indicative 2024–2025 FOB Bali/Surabaya, last verified June 2026; exact pricing by formal quote.
FOB difference wired vs shade-only generally falls in the ~US$4–10 range per unit, depending on:
– Cable length and type
– Lampholder quality (basic vs premium, plastic vs porcelain)
– Metal canopy design and finish
– Plug requirements
Container Utilisation
Rattan lighting is volume-heavy, weight-light. Packing efficiency matters more than kilo limits.
Typical guidance from recent shipments:
- 20’ FCL
- ~500–900 large pendants (mixed sizes), or more if you focus on smaller shades.
- 40’ HQ FCL
- ~1,200–2,000 pendants equivalent; floor and table lamps eat more volume per piece.
- LCL
- Usable for trial orders, but logistics cost per unit rises quickly; wiring choices don’t change cubic volume significantly.
We can run basic packing simulations once you shortlist SKUs and target quantities; if you want to model wired vs shade-only space use, ask us via plan your trip and we can discuss details over email or WhatsApp.
HS Codes & Documentation
Most importers classify our products under furniture/lighting HS chapters; wiring choice can slightly shift how your local customs views them.
Commonly used HS lines (final decision always with your broker/customs):
– Shade-only pendants (no wiring): usually under “other furniture / lampshades” categories, often 9405.x or local equivalent
– Wired rattan lamps: under complete electric lamps 9405.xx with sub-lines for materials and type (table, floor, ceiling)
Rattan from Indonesia is generally not CITES-listed, so you do not need CITES permits for standard cane (unlike certain hardwoods or exotics). If your market needs specific sustainability claims (FSC/PEFC), that normally applies to wooden bases or frames, not the rattan itself, and must be backed by actual certified supply chains rather than generic “eco” wording.
CE, UL & What We Actually Offer
To stay clear:
– We build rattan lamps with components that support CE conformity for 220–240V markets (E27 lampholders, rated cables, grounded plugs where specified).
– We do not present factory wiring as UL- or ETL-listed.
– Our documentation:
– Component datasheets for lampholders, cables and plugs used
– Basic conformity info for EU partners to integrate in their own technical files
Your responsibilities as importer/brand:
– Define target markets and certification path before PO
– Arrange any 3rd-party lab testing required for your retail partners
– Ensure your labeling, instructions and packaging meet local regulations
Practically, three profiles work best:
1. **EU/UK brands and wholesalers**
– Order wired E27 220–240V products
– Conduct spot testing and manage CE documentation
2. **US/CA importers and retailers**
– Order shade-only
– Fit UL-listed E26/E27 kits locally; manage UL/ETL listing if required
3. **Multi-region brands**
– Base order on shade-only
– Configure wiring differently by regional DC (EU, UK, US, AU)
OEM / Custom: Specifying E27 Wiring, Voltage & Finishing
For OEM or custom rattan lamp projects, define wiring early, ideally in the first tech pack draft.
Key points to specify:
– Target markets by share (e.g., 70% EU, 30% US)
– Voltage and lampholder: 220–240V E27 wired vs 110–120V shade-only
– Cable type and color: PVC vs textile, black/white/natural, drop lengths
– Plug requirements: none (pendant), EU, UK, AU, or leave open for your own assembly
– Inner clearances: enough distance between bulb and rattan to avoid overheating
We will review:
– Heat build-up risk for enclosed designs
– Structural support for large diameters (internal frames, cross-bracing)
– Packing method: nested vs single carton, wiring placement to avoid crushing
Lead times:
– New OEM design development (moulds/frames + weave samples): ~4–8 weeks for sampling
– Bulk production: typically ~8–12 weeks after sample approval and deposit, depending on complexity and order size
All timings are ranges, not guarantees; peak season and shipping capacity can extend them.

FAQs: E27, Wiring & Voltage for Rattan Lamps
Can I use E27 lampholders in the US for rattan pendants?
Technically yes, many E26 bulbs will fit E27 lampholders and vice versa, but for UL/ETL compliance in North America you should use UL-listed E26 or E27 sets and follow your lab’s guidance. The cleanest route is importing shade-only from Indonesia and adding approved wiring locally.
Do you supply CE-certified rattan lamps?
We build lamps using components that support CE conformity for 220–240V markets and can share component data. However, the legal CE responsibility and declaration sit with the importer or brand in the EU or UK. Some partners do extra local testing before retail.
What rattan lamp voltage should I choose if I sell in both EU and US?
Most multi-region brands use two configurations: E27, 220–240V wired sets for EU/UK, and shade-only for US/CA where they add 110–120V UL-listed wiring locally. Trying to use one fully wired spec for both regions usually creates certification and plug problems.
Is shade-only cheaper than wired rattan lamps?
FOB per unit is typically lower for shade-only because you remove lampholder, cable, canopy and plug costs. The difference is often around US$4–10 per piece, depending on spec. You must factor in your own wiring and labor costs in the destination market to see which model is better overall.
Do rattan lamps require CITES or special permits for export?
Standard rattan cane from Indonesia is generally not CITES-listed, so CITES permits are not needed for our usual collections. Your customs broker may still ask for HS codes and country-of-origin documents, but not CITES documentation for typical rattan lighting.
