Basic Socket Overview

The Basic Socket in ivory is a great alternative to our black version, especially when you're working with lighter colors. Made of smooth ivory thermoplastic, it keeps the focus on your design and pairs cleanly with our socket covers if you want a decorative finish.

E26 Base1/8 IPS ThreadingIvory ThermoplasticSelf-LockingCord Grip Sold Separately

This socket is an off-white ivory, not bright white. It pairs especially well with white cord and a clear cord grip.

Please note: This socket's cap locks onto the body once snapped together — regardless of whether it's wired yet. Make sure your wiring is complete and correct before snapping the cap into place, since separating it afterward can be tricky. See our socket wiring guide for step-by-step assembly.

How do I wire this socket?
Check out our socket wiring guide for a full walkthrough of wiring and assembling Color Cord sockets safely.

Does this socket take a shade?
Not directly — this is our basic socket without a shade ring. If you're building a shade fixture, check out our Shade Ready Socket instead.

Add a socket cover for a decorative finish, then pick up a cord grip to keep it securely attached to your cord — sold separately, or pair with one of our power cord whips to build a full plug-in fixture. As with any lighting project, we recommend consulting a licensed electrician if you have questions about your specific setup.

    Easy to assemble socket

    I like the basic ivory sockets for their ease of assembly. I also love that you can open it up again if something wasn’t quite right. The quick snap closure is easy and secure.

    Basic socket

    Was basically good. Connected a cord to it, screwed in a lightbulb and it worked!
