Product Information

The Basic Socket in ivory is a great alternative to our standard black version. Especially when working with lighter colors, this simple socket provides both functionality and a clean look that allows your design to be the star. Made of ivory plastic, the socket features a smooth surface that also pairs well with our socket covers for a decorative finish. 

Please note that this socket is off-white in color, rather than bright white. However, we often pair the ivory socket with white cord and a clear cord grip and it looks great. Also, while making your parts selections, keep in mind that we offer a variety of cord grips as this is an important component to add to your cart should you be making a hanging pendant fixture. Cord grips keep your socket securely attached to the cord but they are sold separately.

With all lighting projects and DIY fixture assembly, we always recommend consulting a licensed electrician.

    Basic socket

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