Can I buy any socket cover for my fixture?

No. Light bulb socket covers are designed for specific bulb types, shade sizes, and fixtures. Each product page lists diameters, thread lengths, and bulb compatibility under Specifications. Always compare components to ensure compatibility, as using mismatched parts can be unsafe.

What’s the difference between a socket cover and a socket cap?

The terms are often used interchangeably, but a socket cover can also refer to plastic outlet covers used in wall outlets. Those outlet covers are designed to block unused outlets for safety or cleanliness and are different from decorative light socket covers.

Do you sell outlet covers?

No. We only sell components and accessories intended for light fixtures. Outlet covers are not part of our product catalog.

Can every light socket cover be used with shades and cages?

No. Socket covers, shades, and cages each have specific diameter and threading requirements. Even if a socket cover is labeled shade-ready, you must still confirm compatibility with the selected shade or cage by reviewing each product’s specifications.

What colors are your light bulb socket covers available in?

Basic plastic socket covers are available in black and white. Additional options include finishes such as polished copper, raw brass, antique brass, graphite, and nickel, as well as silicone, metal, and ceramic covers offered in a wide range of colors.

Do you need to use a socket cover for your light fixtures?

Socket covers are not required, but they are commonly included because they provide a finished appearance and support fixture customization. Different materials and colors can significantly affect the overall look of a light fixture.

Candelabra E12 Socket Cover Overview

The Candelabra E12 Socket Cover is a metal flat top cover that fits over our E12 Basic Socket for a clean, finished look. It's also compatible with our cord grips, which help secure the cover and socket in place on the cord.

E12 Candelabra Base5 FinishesFits E12 Basic Socket

Please note: This cover fits our E12 Basic Socket only — it is not compatible with the E12 Shade Ready Socket or its Extended Threads version. This socket cover is also intended for E12 candelabra bulbs and is not compatible with standard E26 base bulbs.

Raw metal and raw brass finishes are left untreated for an industrial look — expect natural color variation, and know that they'll oxidize and tarnish over time.

Complete the Build

Pair with our E12 Basic Socket, then pick up cloth-covered wire by the foot and a cord grip to complete your build.

The candelabra socket cover is
The candelabra socket cover is exactly what I was looking for, and the perfect colour. The locking sockets made me a little nervous at first that I couldn’t open them up again. But once I wired a coupled I got the hang of it!
