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.

Silicone Socket Cover Overview

The Silicone Socket Cover is a simple way to add a contemporary look to your lighting project. This flexible rubber cover slips over your cloth-covered cord first, then over the assembled socket, for a clean and colorful finish.

Fits Basic Sockets10 FinishesCord Grip Sold Separately

Heads up: slip this cover onto your cord before you assemble the socket. Installing it after the socket is wired means taking things back apart to fit it on.

This cover's tapered design fits best with a standard cord grip.

Complete the Build

Pair with our Basic Socket, then pick up cloth-covered wire by the foot and a standard cord grip to keep it securely attached to your cord — sold separately. As with any lighting project, we recommend consulting a licensed electrician if you have questions about your specific setup.

The Best!
As a ceramic artist I was looking for a company to help me create my own line of pendant lighting. Color Cord came to the rescue from the products they offer to them walking me through the process on the phone. Great customer service and product!!
