Leviton 19980-M Pull Chain Lamp Holder 660W Medium Base

Product Description

The LEVITON 19980-M is a pull chain lamp holder designed for incandescent light sources in medium base applications. Rated at 660 watts, it provides a reliable switching mechanism through an integrated pull chain, allowing the fixture to be turned on and off without a wall switch. The burnished finish gives it a traditional appearance suitable for utility and general-purpose lighting installations. Licensed electricians and maintenance professionals install this type of lamp holder in garages, basements, storage areas, closets, and similar spaces where switched overhead lighting is needed without dedicated wall control wiring.

This lamp holder is suited for residential and light commercial utility lighting applications. It accepts standard medium base incandescent bulbs and is commonly installed in areas where a simple pull chain on-off function is preferred over a wall switch. Typical installations include shop lights, basement ceiling fixtures, and storage room overhead lighting. The 660-watt rating gives it substantial headroom for high-output incandescent lamps used in work and utility environments.

The lamp holder should be mounted to a listed electrical box rated for the fixture weight and application. Do not exceed the 660-watt lamp rating under any circumstances.
