Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO 000-08681-000 is a lamp socket reducer designed to convert a mogul-base socket to accept a medium-base lamp. The body is constructed from porcelain, which handles heat well in high-wattage applications. Rated at 660 watts and 120 volts, this reducer is suitable for use in commercial and industrial lighting fixtures where lamp base compatibility is a concern. Electricians and lighting technicians install this reducer when retrofitting or servicing fixtures without replacing the entire socket assembly. It is UL listed, confirming it meets established safety standards for electrical components.

This socket reducer is used in applications where a mogul-base fixture must accept a medium-base lamp. Common install scenarios include commercial overhead lighting, industrial shop lights, and high-bay fixtures during lamp type changeovers. It is sold in a package quantity of 10 units, making it practical for service contractors handling multiple fixtures in a single job. Each unit is rated for standard 120-volt branch circuits up to 660 watts.
