Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Leviton 1406 Power Outlet Socket Adapter: Optimize Your Search by Stephen Cernatescu

Revainrating 4 out of 5

a cheap way to add a pull chain to a lamp.

is a cheap way to add a pull chain to the lamp and also add 2 ungrounded sockets for chargers or whatever. My only warning about the product is that the ball at the end of the pull chain is pretty strong and the pull mechanism is very springy. I'm worried that a cord that's pulled too tight will come back and crack the bulb. .So edit the review to add: Yes indeed if you pull the cord it comes back pretty quickly and breaks the Cree LED bulb. I replace it with another Cree LED bulb, but the new ones have a plastic case. I wouldn't recommend this for use with CFLs as there can be mercury splashes anywhere. I went ahead and cut off the heavy bead on the end and bought a longer chain from my local hardware store for less than a dollar. The product still works great and I will admit that it is my fault for pulling it too hard and too fast because not only did I have in mind a prior warning should you do the same, I was consciously trying to Not doing this but one day I forgot to say goodbye and boom $10 lightbulb for now (actually converted to a short lightbulb in an enclosed fixture after removing the glass and isolating the rest of the fixture without LEDs, but I digress)

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive
