The brass finish push-through socket can be used to replace a worn or broken socket or to build an entirely new light fixture. The socket's push-through switch makes it ideal for a floor or table light fixture and its brass finish has a classic look and effectively withstands heat. UL listed and CSA approved for safety, it is rated for 660 W maximum and 250 V. The 2-13/16 in high socket has a tapped 1/8 IP bushing and uses medium-base bulbs. Thanks to a straight bracket design and set screw, installation is easy.
