Power Gear Polarized Socket Adapter, 2 Pack, Convert Outlets to Lamp Sockets, Perfect for Workshop, Garage or Utility Room, Polarized Plug, UL Listed, Light Almond, 54607

Ok, I’m cheap. I needed a tiny light plugged into my timer, for various parts of the house to see by, so I don’t bump into furniture etc. This works perfectly for that & if you are cheap like I am, plugging in a 3 watt bulb or less, won’t set you back much in your wallet either.

I'm having mouse issues in my garage, so I purchased these adapters so that I could use motion activated light bulbs in outlets to hopefully scare away the mice. Not sure if the lights are working in scaring away the mice, but the adapters work perfectly and could be used for many other applications as well.

It was great but I found out that they were overpriced. I got them cheaper at a local store.

When I started looking I honestly wasn't expecting to find this, and yet, I found exactly what I had envisioned (after not finding it at the hardware store). This is cheap and does exactly what I wanted to do... put a standard light bulb in a traditional outlet. There's no switches, no features... It simply connects a bulb to an outlet and nothing more. Which is perfect.My scenario: I've got a Philips Hue system in the house with multiple lights, but I had a spare bulb with no use. So, I purchased this along with a Hue motion sensor, and installed a motion activated light in my garage. Yeah, the door opener has a light, but it's only triggered by running the door and stays on for just a few minutes. I've got a refrigerator, toolbox, and other things in the garage so go out there more often than just going to the car.So, I now have this device plugged into the ceiling outlet where my door opener is plugged, the Hue bulb in the socket, and a motion sensor over the door. When I walk out, the light is triggered, and turns off a few minutes after there is no motion. It was a simple fix to a minor problem, but I'm very pleased with now having a light out there for nighttime.This is likely a limited use product as you'd either need to use it with an always-on light or with an outlet which is switched in some way (or in my case, a smart bulb). Still, when you need such a niche item, Amazon saves the day!

I inherited a half dozen light bulbs, mostly LED. It was not convenient for me to find a light socket and screw them in one by one to test them, but with these sockets I was able to easily test them while sitting at my desk.

Just what I needed at the right price

I bought this unit to install an AMAZON BASICS LED light bulb that has a built in Dusk to Dawn light sensor.The bulbs work in every bulb socket I've used them in (mostly exterior) except when I screw in a known working bulb into this converter...the light will not go off even when I cover the light sensor of the bulb with black tape. Yet the same bulb in a socket will work perfectly. For a continuous "on" bulb or a receptacle wired to a light switch this item should be fine but with an LED bulb...be skeptical until you've tested it...

GE 54173 Socket Adapter Converts Outlet to Lamp Socket, Polarized IvoryThis is something that is so inexpensive and has helped me immensely. It is just so easy to use. I had a little nook area in the front of the house that I think someone used as either an office or pantry in this house when it was built. It's just a small room with a window, and room for a twin bed and tv. I fixed it up for when my 6 year old niece comes over to visit. She loves the idea of her "own room" and treasures the little room. I call it her nook. The room had electrical outlets, but not really a good light source other than a lamp. One of the outlets is up higher near the door frame, so I simply screwed a light bulb into the adapter and plugged it in. Now I have a lot of light in the room for when my little angel wants to color or just play. I wish I could find one with an on/off switch, but for now, I just either unplug or twist the bulb to make it loose when I want to turn it off. Other than that, it's perfect, and couldn't ask for a better or less expensive solution. Works great!
