Hi Sam,
If you are a DIY your best bet is proably Amazon, they have many different E27 fittings and also have B22 (standard UK bayonet ) to E27 adapter fittings so there is no wiring to change.
Hope this helps

What size is the hole in your lampshade that the lamp holder needs to fit?

Bayonet style (B22) lamp holders typically require a shade with a 28 or 30mm diameter hole.
ES Screw in style (E27) lamp holders typically require a shade with a 40mm diameter hole.

If your lampshade has the 30mm hole, you will probably need a bayonet (B22) lamp holder and lamp to be able to use it!

I don't think a lamp holder for E27 bulbs exists that is only 30mm outside diameter. Since the bulb thread is 27mm, and it must be insulated because the thread may be live, I suspect more that 1.5mm of insulation would be needed - but happy to be proved wrong !

Yeh the current E27 Light Bulb Base Socket Ceramic Edison Screw ES Cap Heat Lamp Holder Fitting i have is too big for my lampshade. So it just sorta balances it, sometimes it crocked to the side, the reason I wanted to change it is because a electrician said the wireses shouldn't be showing... I was going to put a heatbulb there with no shade, but now i have a red e27 bulb in there...

So sounds like I either need a new shade with e27 fitting or go back to bayonet fitting and find a bayonet red bulb....

Or just leave it as it is...
