Premium Brass Lamp Sockets are noticeably superior to standard sockets. Each is superbly crafted of heavy turned brass with a matching brass turn knob switch. Wire exits thru socket-cap. Socket-cap and socket-shell screw together with a threaded ring. This provides a strong joint, far better than standard sockets, where cap and shell just snap together.  Use on new and antique table and floor lamps.

The socket body is heavy turned brass, providing superior durability and a long-lasting quality appearance. Unlike brass-plated or brass-guilt sockets, it does not become dull or washed-out over time.

The UNO threads at light bulb-end of socket, allow a 1-1/4" threaded center ring to directly screw onto socket. While this socket is compatible with most , there may be an occasional incompatibility between shade and socket due to slight variations in threads.

Before making any changes to electrical fixtures and/or lamps:

• Disconnect plug/wire from the electrical source.
• Turning lamp off will not protect you from electric shock.
• If you are unsure how to safely proceed contact a licensed electrician.
