Twist Socket Overview
Our Twist Socket in frost white is made from hard plastic and pairs easily with our cloth-covered wire. It's a 2-conductor socket that also works with 3-conductor cord — just clip the green ground wire and leave it unused. Add one of our metal socket covers for a decorative finish.
This frost white plastic is a tonal match for our white cloth-covered wire, but not a perfect match.
Can I use a 3-wire cord with this socket?
Yes — this is a 2-conductor socket. If your cord only comes with 3 wires, simply clip the green ground wire and leave it unused during assembly.
Can I add a shade to this socket?
Not directly — this version is designed for exposed bulbs, paired with one of our metal socket covers. If you want to hang a shade, check out our Twist Socket with Ring instead.
Add a metal socket cover for a decorative finish, 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.

- SeraVerified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars2 years agoA process to figure out, but does function in the end
What I was sent does not match the photos or description exactly. My socket is not self-locking. Also, some sort of instructional sheet or video would be extremely useful since it doesn’t match the other sockets available here for which there are instructions. Beware using the metal socket covers that state they are compatible. They work if you’re not attaching a lampshade, but they are taller than the socket and so if you have a lampshade that attaches around the base of the bulb, the metal cover prevents the bulb from being able to reach the socket. All that being said, a couple hours of frustration later, I do have a working lamp.
CCColor Cord Company2 years agoThank you for your feedback. If you ever have any questions about our products, feel free to reach out to us at info@colorcord.com and we are happy to help. The twist socket is used less frequently in our assemblies so there are fewer resources online for this product. We usually recommend our basic socket as it is grounded and will work with the covers, but there are some assemblies that require this socket which can be more unique than our online options. I am glad that the results were successful though!
