E26 Light Socket with Push ON/Off Switch,Brushed Gold Medium Screw Socket,for Table Lights or Desk Lamps,UL Listed

A couple of major issues with these.They do not have any terminals to attach your wires to. Instead they require a small gauge solid wire to be pushed in to it, like modern electrical outlets. BUT,.. lamps use lamp-cord, which is stranded wire, so these sockets require you to solder a small length of solid wire onto the ends of your lamp cord (and then heat-shrink) in order to connect the socket to power.The second issue is that the gold outer housing and the cardboard insulator tube is too tall. Which means you cannot screw the bulb in far enough for the tip of it to make contact to the power electrode in the bottom middle of the socket. You have to cut off the top 1/4" or so with an angle grinder.I've never seen anything this poorly designed in all my years. Whoever made these must never have tried installing one in a lamp.

Brass and holder decent quality, easy open with push tabs. I read a few reviews that downplayed this product since it is push in vs screw on. Push in works well, just make sure stranded wire is well twisted, light tinning helps. Having wired basement outlets with the push in tab in a 14-3 setup for top receptacle switching, this was not the drag that other reviews described. Lamp cord works best with the hold down tabs. Be careful not to confuse the small brass holes for for the push in sockets, popped an SCR doing that.

This product was useless to me. It cannot be installed on a lamp that uses conventional stranded wire. According to the nearly incomprehensible instructions, it can only be used if your lamp has "use of #18 AWG solid wires or strand wires with tin-dipped in wire's end, the strip and dip length app. 12-13 mm (only dip 3 to 4 mm long for strand wires, it will be failed in the wiring, because it will be too soft to push in)." The Amazon product description made no mention of this very unusual wiring requirement, which I've never encountered before. My lamp doesn't have either of those types of wire.Furthermore, the instructions were nearly incomprehensible, because they were very poorly translated into English from some other language. Very dissatisfied!

These sockets do not have screws for attaching wires. They require solid wires to work. Of course no lamp in the world uses lamp cord with solid wires. So they are completely useless.

The problem with these sockets is that they are set up for quick connect solid wire only! To use the these sockets I had to tin the wires to get them to go into the quick connects. I could see a company trying to save money and do with on wall outlets where the wiring in the walls is solid wire. This makes no sense to me to do this on a lamp socket which will always use stranded wire. The stranded wire doesn't want to go into quick connects. I had no trouble tinning the wires to use these but I don't know how many average users will have soldering irons or be comfortable doing that.

First, once installed the switches work fine. Because the switches have push in connections instead of screw connections I had to use a small piece of solid wire and solder the stranded wire to that. Thus the install takes a higher skill level than average.

I had two lamps in the house that had a bad switch. I pulled the old sockets and replace them with the sockets purchased. Relatively simple replacement and the lamps are back in use.

Extremely poor quality and brittle plastic; typical of a poorly manufactured product from China
