Customers overwhelmingly praise this socket replacement for its ease of installation and reliable performance. Most report the 15-minute installation was straightforward, with screw terminals making wiring simple and secure. Many highlight the exact fit for older lamps and restored three-way functionality.

Plastic is Weak

Would Not Recommend

The top section split in half before I even got to tighten it into place. Luckily, the socket I was replacing top section fit the threads, but the plastic on this one was too weak. I would have replaced the whole thing, but the 3 Lowe’s stores nearby didn’t have any in stock.

Careful when tightening cover

Would Not Recommend

The upper cover cracked when I installed it. Pretty sure it wasn't cross-threaded, but my habit is to make a knot in the cord to provide some strain relief (which added height to the inner socket perhaps). Not clear if it was already cracked. I used some cyanoacrylate, keeping it away from the threads and several black tie wraps. Seems way stronger afterward and worked fine.

Product fine, but I had to buy the socket/switch as well as the silver encloseure I didnt need. First clerk I asked for location was lazy and not helpful.

Does not operate 3 way bulbs

Would Not Recommend

It takes 3 clicks to turn the light one, but does not work for a 3 way build. It works just like the one I replaced.
