Abstract

A lampsocket having a porcelain body that has a base, a peripheral wall, and at least two of a rigid, longitudinal spacer projecting axially outwardly from the base. The longitudinal upper surfaces of the spacers engage opposite areas of the bottom of the base of the lamp. The lampsocket is intended for use with and to operate a class of lamps having a threaded base having an insulated extension from the central portion of the bottom of the lamp base, and a central button mounted on the insulated extension. The lampsocket can also accept, but can not make electrical contact with, other lamps that have a conventional base contact without the insulated extension.
