E12 Basic Socket Overview

The E12 Basic Socket in black is a clean, simple candelabra-style socket made from black thermoplastic — perfect for chandeliers or decorative fixtures that call for an E12 bulb base. Top threading is 1/8 IPS, ready to work with whichever cord grip style suits your project.

E12 Candelabra Base1/8 IPS ThreadingBlack ThermoplasticSelf-LockingCord Grip Sold Separately
Please note: This socket takes E12 candelabra bulbs only — it is not compatible with standard E26 base bulbs, so confirm your bulb base before ordering. It's also self-locking: do not assemble it with the terminal inside before it's wired, or the terminal will lock the socket permanently.

What's the difference between E12 and E26?
E12 is the smaller "candelabra" base, typically used for chandeliers and decorative fixtures. E26 is the standard medium base used in most lamps and pendants. The two aren't interchangeable.

How do I wire this socket?
Check out our E12 socket assembly guide for a full walkthrough of wiring and assembling E12 sockets safely.

Add a Candelabra E12 Socket Cover for a finished look, then pick up cloth-covered wire by the foot and a 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.

    Tight Squeeze

    The parts did not not fit together very easily making it hard to assemble and even harder to take back apart.
