🔦 Efficient Lighting with GE Porcelain Lampholder Keyless 18304 Review

The base has internal and external mounting holes for mounting different size sockets. However, the inner hole has to be knocked out, and this is where the problems begin. Some holes have a thicker cap and punching can cause the base to break at the holes as that is a weak point. I was very careful to support the base when I turned it off, but I still broke one. I also ordered a total of 9 and 2 were broken in the box right at the mounting holes. Apparently someone sent them back and they were…

What I didn't like was that the courier threw it in the middle of my porch instead of putting it next to my door like other couriers do. I was waiting for him at the door when I heard a knock. But because of a lamp I like, my tenant moved out and trashed my one-room apartment. She picked up a lamp in the closet and dangling cords - I needed to figure out how to replace it, so I tried this one. It fit perfectly and was very easy to assemble. Simple instructions that a first grader could…

"GE White Porcelain Keyless Medium Base Chuck" How anyone could make this with less than 5 turns baffles me. This is exactly what is advertised, a real porcelain base that will probably last 100 years. Forget the exhaust chain and outlet - just add a wall switch and nothing else will fail. The wattage rating is over 600 watts, while most lamp bases these days are rated at 75 watts or less. For 3 euros you can't go wrong. I do not work for GE and have never worked for GE. I am not receiving any…

Works well but incredibly difficult to install (usually pushes the wire underneath). This can be solved by pushing the screw against a hard plate to grab the wire. I had issues with the general brittleness of the metal inside - trying to fit the wires into the terminals resulted in the rest of the metal sagging a lot more than I expected. - I had issues with the spacing between the mounting holes - on the mounting box I used it seemed to be a fraction of a millimeter less. - I had a hard time…

About two years ago I replaced the original light with a light from a hardware store but it had a different design in the way the circuit came out of the light. This lamp had a chain that was pulling on the porcelain and this put a lot of strain on the chain and it broke inside the switch. It would probably work fine if it was ceiling mounted, but it is wall mounted. I bought these because they looked like the original lamp design. Unfortunately, even after removing the breakaway porcelain…
