Works well but is difficult to install.

Would Not Recommend

This was purchased to repair a broken socket of the same type in a ceiling fan. The removal of the old socket was not simple or easy, but trying to install this replacement required about five different attempts. The ceiling fan construction was partially to blame, but having to connect the power wires securely was a hit or miss task and required retightening of the wires three times. And then, trying to keep the socket firmly in place was frustrating as well. Eventually, I was able to get every...

workable replacement socket

Would Recommend

This socket replaced one that came with a new lamp because the pull chain was easier to reach than the stock twist switch.

Excellent lamp socket for restoring antiques

Would Recommend

This lamp socket is perfect for restoring antique lamps that require a pull-chain. It operates easily and looks great with its dark brown color. Money well invested!

Solid fixture.

Would Recommend

I bought this fixture to replace the typical snap together type found in most lamps. The snap together ones seem to loosen and if holding a lamp shade never stay straight. This type screw together giving a much more solid finished product.

Portfolio lamp socket

Would Recommend

I like the wire terminals and the plastic assembly, its much more forgiving than the old meta style, as you can man handle it more. Cost was very appealing. Not over packaged.

Pull chain socket

Would Recommend

I was looking for a bare pull chain socket to replace in a lamp. This was the only one that Lowes carries. I bought it hoping that I could remove the phenolic cover and find a standard lamp socket inside. It was and it fit into the normal brass colored light socket that you see in every lamp.

Perfect

Would Recommend

Wow-piece of cake. Perfectly replaced phenolic components from a 30+year old Stiffel lamp. Almost tossed it, but rewired whole lamp in 1.5 hours. My projects rarely go so smoothly.
