Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO 079-07070-0PG is a 2-circuit, 3-terminal incandescent lamp socket designed for medium-base lamp installations. Finished in polished gilt, the socket includes a cap and shell construction and features a turn-knob switching mechanism. Rated at 250 watts and 250 volts, it is suited for residential and light commercial lighting fixtures where a switched or 2-circuit configuration is required. Licensed electricians and lighting fixture technicians typically install this socket during new fixture assembly or replacement service. UL listed for safe, code-compliant installation.

This socket fits applications where a turn-knob control is needed directly at the lamp base, such as table lamps, floor lamps, and decorative lighting fixtures with medium-base bulb configurations. The 2-circuit design supports independent switching of two lamp circuits from a single socket body, making it a practical choice for fixtures requiring multiple brightness levels or split-circuit control. Sold in a package quantity of 10, making it appropriate for stocking by electrical contractors and lighting repair shops.
