These double-ferrule bakelite phenolic light bulb sockets work with almost all of our pendant light lampshades, including all of our super-popular fiber string lampshades and handmade Italian ceramic pendant shades.

So, why do we call them double ferrule? It’s a fancy way of saying two rings. And that’s exactly what these light bulb sockets have on them: two rings. The rings are there to hold pendant light shades in place. Most pendant light shades that have an opening between 1-5/8 inches and 2-1/16 inches wide should work with these double ferrule light bulb sockets.

Phenolic Bakelite is a traditional resin material that became popular in the early 20th century for its durability and was used for many electrical items including telephones, radios and switches. Its surface is ideal for painting to achieve a high-gloss finish.

This phenolic bakelite socket is perfect for anyone looking for a simple, uncomplicated, gloss-finish socket for an E26 light bulb. This socket works with all of our pendant light cables.
