Beautiful, unique and sturdy, these vintage style Brass Lamp Socket with a 3 Way Turn Knob Switch are absolutely the best quality around, they're cast brass and have a screw on base instead of the plated brass and snap-on base like cheap run-of-the-mill sockets. Available in 6 finishes, they have a 3-way on/off rotary turn knob and are super simple to work with: simply screw off the base to access the 2 wire connections inside. Perfect for restoring old lamps and lights or for all of your homemade lighting fixtures.
- Medium E26 Standard Base
- UL Listed
- Rated for up to 250 Watts / 250 Volts
- Cap base has 1/8 IPS standard lamp pipe thread with set screw
- 3-way sockets allow you to use a 3 way bulb to get 3 levels of light with each knob click, or you can use any regular bulb and you will have the one level of light, 2 click for on, 2 clicks for off.
- - Installation note: These sockets, like most self wire-able metal sockets, come with a cardboard lining inside. This should be left in as it acts as an insulator. Do not remove it.

Excellent quality as always
Have ordered from Snake Head Vintage a few times in the past. As usual both quality of the lamp sockets and the speed of service were great.

Excellent Quality, look and feel
I started a new lamp line and only wanted top quality finishes and definitely found it here with brass sockets (not cheap aluminum) and am thrilled with the customer service.
Love it when you get it right from the start.
Thanks -

Level Up!
I purchased this socket to fit to an old “atomic era” lamp that I wanted to have different levels of brightness. It worked out wonderfully and the socket was easy to wire up and is of excellent quality.

Quality That's Unusual These Days
Had a couple of old, quality-brand, brass lamps whose 3-way sockets finally gave up and wouldn't work on anything but the middle setting. Ordered these replacements from SHV and hoped for the best. Surprise, they arrived early, in perfect condition, and were easy to install and work great.
In this day and age, you can't ask for more. Hopefully they'll make these lamps usable for another 50 years. -
l had high hopes
This light socket seems to be very well designed with solid material and construction. Unfortunately the shell has an interference with the base due to a deep indentation opposite the switch knob. This requires excessive force for reassembly of the shell to the base so I am unable to use it.
RESPONSE FROM SHV: Please contact us for help with this (you didn't leave your name), the indentation is there on purpose!!! It is designed to line up with the notch on the base, and when they are lined up it locks the pieces together so they don't spin while you are tightening them! We show this on the pictures in the listing, there is no need to force the pieces together, they fit together nicely and lock in place.
We are always here to help with any issues you may have, don't be afraid to ask, it's better than just leaving an anonymous 1 star review on a product that could work great for you if you had reached out to us instead! Thank you :) -

Great Product and Great Service
After a great experience with the first order I'll be replacing more lamp sockets with their quality product. It gives a lot of satisfaction for a such a seemingly small thing!
