Ratings & Reviews for Eaton 3-Way 660 -Watt Plastic Pull chain Ceiling Socket , White

Replaced a broken ceiling socket

Replaced a few older fixtures in the basement and one in the attic.

Dangerous If Not Installed Carefully

I bought this to add an outlet to a similar fixture. The wiring uses 12 gauge and I chose to use the screw terminals. I was immediately hesitant about breaking something when I could not firmly tighten the screws without the rest of the flimsy terminal assembly moving around. When I pushed the unit up into the box to secure it the ground wire popped loose, hit the hot terminal and shorted out the circuit. The terminals are dangerously close to each other and do not keep 12 gauge wire securely i...

Good Bargain

I use this product in the basement. The built-in plug comes in handy. The plastic is very strong and resist breaking when accidentally hit.

Good job on price and quality.

Good job on production. I didn.t really want a porcelain one. Got this one home, promptly dropped it, and it didn't break! Hooray!

Ceiling Socket with grounded outlet

This is a high quality basic light socket for attic, basement or garage/storage applications. Easy to install. Gives you a plug-in in a spot where you need it without having to wire in a new outlet.

Nice replacement for OLD ceramic light sockets!

We have older home with several of the old ceramic light sockets in closets, stairwells, etc. One of them just quit working, so I picked this up to replace it. The old socket had unusual screw mounting pattern where it mounted to ceiling, but the new one had multiple patterns - just pick which pattern you need and "knock out" the plastic for the hole pattern you need. (Plus, now I have a plug in the closet without having to run wire)! Works great - going to get more to replace the rest! (ALWAYS ...

Great replacement unit.

The device that this unit replaced was 53yrs old. While I would be surprised if this one lasted half that time, it is a solid, well built device that was easy to install and would adapt to a couple of different ceiling mount boxes. I had the device replaced in less than 10 minutes and my Mom was thrilled to find that it also had receptacle socket that she can plug her iron into. (It was installed in her laundry room.

Gets the job done

This produce was only a simple light socket with pull chain. I liked the ease of wiring, the sturdy plastic base (lighter and more efficient than porcelain, and overall quality of the fixture. It went up without a problem.

Poor quality! Very brittle! Poor durability!

The ceiling socket is made out of very brittle plastic. I've purchased this item on two different occasions & have had to return damaged ones on both occasions & I still have two more yet to return because they broke during installation. Also, I was in the store today & there are broke ones on the shelf. Positive Lowes associates have always been very helpful! Example today, the Lowes associate when returning. No problems, she even apologized for the inconvenience. The My Lowes card certainly m...

Not what I hoped for.

I saw this light fixture and I thought, "gee, finally what I hoped for." What I wanted was a fixture I could put in my attic, that the plug would control a fan as well. I bought it, hooked it up real nice, plugged in the attic fan, and to my dissappointment..... The pull chain only controls the bulb, but not the plug. Change the design so the plug and the bulb works with the chain switch.

Wiring

Wired my home with #12 AWG and therefore use for all 120 volt receptacle and lighting circuits. #12 is a little tough on the terminating screws be careful. The neutral and ground terminals are too close together and had to use #12 green insulated wire for pigtail. When wiring if the neutral and ground are shorted it may trip a GFCI circuit breaker.
