Key Features and Benefits of This Candelabra Socket

The phenolic housing resists heat buildup better than plastic alternatives, which matters for sockets positioned close to a lamp base. Rated at 75 watts, it accommodates common candelabra base lamps used in chandeliers and decorative fixtures without exceeding the socket's rated capacity.

Where to Use the 80-1693 Candelabra Socket

This socket is intended for use inside chandeliers, sconces, and other fixtures built around candelabra base lamps. It is meant for indoor fixture assembly or repair rather than as a standalone exposed component.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

Confirm the replacement lamp does not exceed the socket's 75 watt rating before installation, since exceeding it can shorten socket life. This socket is threaded for mounting into a fixture's existing socket cup, so verify thread compatibility with the fixture being repaired or built.

Additional Buying Context

This socket is commonly used to repair older chandeliers and decorative fixtures where the original candelabra socket has failed. A specification sheet is available from Satco for installers who need confirmation of thread type and dimensions before ordering.
