E26 Socket, Ceramic Standard Medium Screw Socket, E27 Bulb Lamp Holder, E26 Light Socket with 12 inch Wire Lead for Halogen Incandescent LED Light Bulb (5 Pack)

great for ceiling fan repair

Buena calidad

Great sockets to repair, and build light fixtures.

Had an older ceiling fan with a faulty light socket. This was the closest fit that I could find. While it worked it was a bit tricky to install.

I don't recommend doing what I did, but I replaced a flickering intermediate base socket in a ceiling fan with this medium based socket and it worked great. It only required removing a couple of small screws from the old and new sockets and then mounting the new socket onto the existing support bar. I could not get LED bulbs to work for more than a few minutes in the old socket and the incandescent bulbs that fit an intermediate base do not have the necessary lumens. I now have a 60W incandescent lighting our kitchen table from this fan.

Easy to replace on damaged lamps etc

I could not find these with a 12" wire in any of the box stores so I ordered them. This was to fix a faulty bulb holder in one of three sconce light fixtures in our family room. My wife was ready to order 3 new fixtures for over $200, but once I was finished and had it back up and working she decided she still liked the ones we have. This $8 purchase saved me some $$$. I have to mention that you do need to have basic electrical knowledge before attempting this type of repair...but is isn't rocket science. Common sense also helps .

Not even close to 12”. Have to return bc the wires are not long enough for my project, though it was marketed as having 12” wire
