E12 Shade Ready Socket Overview
The E12 Shade Ready Socket in black is a black thermoplastic candelabra socket with threads and a removable shade ring, designed to hold candelabra-specific shades. Perfect for chandeliers or decorative fixtures with an E12 bulb base and a shade.
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?

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.

I put together 18 of these easily. Only tool necessary is screwdriver for wiring. Using a legit wire stripper will save your hands some strain.

- Anne E.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 years agoExactly What I Needed
I bought a lamp from an estate sale and it didn't work. I was able to get a part number off the socket. When I googled the part number it took me to your store. I was skeptical that I would be able to fix this myself, but I did! Thank you!!!
CCColor Cord Company4 years agoThank you, Anne! We're happy to hear that your DIY skills were a success!
- Claudia M.Verified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars6 years agoVery good and timely service but...
Very good and timely service, socket seems to of good quality however...
This socket have a self locking system, so after I installed it need to added a metal cover and could not open it again. Would know how to “unlock” it ? If I need to remove it, the only way is to break it ?
