Review on Enhanced Brass Light Socket with 3 Terminal Circuit: A Durable and Efficient Solution by Gopal Baltimore

Matches my hurricane lamp perfectly. No major store or local hardware store could find 3 pin sockets (probably because two bulbs aren't popular anymore) so I ordered these. I made a rough sketch of the wire connections and what colors went on which terminals. A portion of the brown wire and a portion of the black wire went to the left and right terminals (seen from the side of the rotary knob), and the other portions of the brown and black wire went to the remaining terminal opposite the rotary knob. To keep the wires from slipping down the lamp stem, they remained attached to the old socket until I connected just one wire to its terminal on the new socket. I didn't have to change the bends of the wires. The knob that came with it didn't protrude far enough out of the lamp, so I reused an old knob that had an extension and it screwed on easily. The new brass body fitted easily into the existing base of the old socket (the old body fit, but I wanted to use as many of the new parts as possible), which saved me the trouble of unscrewing the old one from the lamp stem and pulling the wires out and back set in the new floor.
