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.

Much Higher Quality Than Generic Sockets
I ordered 4 of the antique brass colored sockets - they arrived quickly and in good condition. They're much higher quality than the equivalents at Home Depot, and cost about the same. One thing to note: make sure that you leave the cardboard insert inside - it prevents shock and allows the bulb to seat properly. When all assembled they are nice and snug, and the on-off switch has a good mechanical feel. They also look great.
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART:
I emailed Paul at Snake Head Vintage because I had questions about the parts, and his responses were quick, genuine, and extremely kind. The customer service was really exceptional, and I couldn't recommend this store any more highly. Please buy from Snake Head Vintage!
