5pcs Ceramic Standard Medimun Screw Base Socket E26 E27 Bulb Holders With Wire for Hot Halogen Bulb (E26 5pcs)

I am no electrician but my favourite lamp went bad and I saw that this was the part that went bad. I went to work and got the results that I wanted. It is working great now I wish the cord was longer but it's strong and and fits perfectly in the lamp and gives the same strength as the previous lamp.

Well made light bulb socket. I installed in outdoor light. Item is as described. Wires were a little short for my use but were easily spliced with additional wire and shrink tubing. These appear to be ceramic which may be a little brittle. Probably not as strong as vintage ceramic bases but should be plenty strong for normal use.

Good quality socket that will let me upgrade few salt lamps with horrible sockets

Before you just install these, it's important to check the two screws that hold the bracket to the ceramic to make sure they are tight. Every one of mine were loose. Don't tighten too tight, as the screw hold ceramic to metal, and the ceramic may break, but they at least need to be snug. None of them were.These appear to have the standard threaded hole in the bracket to fit an 1/8 IP-27 threaded pipe used in common table lamps, ceiling fixtures and finials.These also have a 1/8 inch hole in one side of the bracket, which is what I used.I got tired of the dim candelabra bulbs in my ceiling fans. I drilled out the rivets that held those old sockets to the ceiling fan, which were 1/8 inch. I removed this socket's bracket by removing the two screws that hold it together and used a 1/8 rivet to attach this socket's bracket to the ceiling fan just like the candelabra base was. I then reattached the ceramic socked to the bracket, with the two screws. I then wired all of these sockets to the ceiling fan controls exactly as they were wired with the old candelabra bases.I was then able to use three 100W LED bulbs in these sockets instead of the old candelabra bulbs which were probably only 25 watts equivalent. The difference is amazing, incredibly better daylight light, 300 watt equivalent instead of just 75 watt equivalent, and it's white light, so I can actually read and see colors as they truly are instead of the sick yellow look of bulbs that are less than 5000K temperature.I only gave it a 4-star ratting because one socket had a little chip out of the ceramic, which I didn't need because there are 10 of these and my three ceiling fans use three each. Also, all the screws were loose as I mentioned at the beginning.

Worked great to replace light in a cool old hanging light fixture that I didn't want to throw out

I have used approximately 20 of these fixtures in numerous lighting projects.They are extremely well made - easy to modify the metal base for individual project application.

Great item great price but I ordered these regularly and every time they come at least one or two is broken. This time out of a pack of 10 sockets, 9 were broken. You need to start putting padding in with these items. I got replacement very easily but if you simply put some padding in the box, they wouldn’t break.

I had to use these in an older home, which had some legacy type can lights in it, and I was updating it a bit. I removed the old sockets from the cans, and installed these new sockets, and then updated the lights, with very little effort. Great result.
