Product Description

The KEYSTONE TECHNOLOGIES kt-socket-t8-s-t is a lamp socket designed for T8 fluorescent and LED T8 tube lamps. It provides the electrical connection and mechanical retention point between the lamp and the fixture, allowing the lamp to receive power and remain securely seated during operation. This type of socket is a standard component in commercial and residential fluorescent lighting fixtures and is typically installed or replaced by licensed electricians or lighting maintenance technicians.

This socket is suited for use in T8 lamp fixtures found in commercial office spaces, warehouses, retail environments, and residential utility areas.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement of lamp sockets should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Always de-energize the fixture and verify power is off at the circuit breaker before handling any socket or wiring components. Inspect the fixture wiring for damage before installing the new socket. Do not force the lamp into the socket beyond normal seating resistance.
