abc, etc.

Editor: M, K, N, and diagrams of kerosene lamp parts (specifically burners) found in Google Images.
It seems that the component various dictionaries describe as the "holder for the wick and lamp-chimney of a kerosene lamp" is simply called the "burner". Unfortunately, that's quite an ambiguous term, so I can understand why it's not used on its own in definitions of 燈頭.
Diff:
# 燈頭 灯头 [deng1 tou2] /electric light socket/holder for kerosene lamp wick and chimney/
+ 燈頭 灯头 [deng1 tou2] /electric light socket/burner (component of a kerosene lamp)/classifier for the number of lights fitted, e.g. in a house/
