Westinghouse 70361 Candelabra Socket Adapter 75W 120V

Product Description

The WESTINGHOUSE 70361 is a candelabra socket adapter designed to enlarge a candelabra base (E12) to a standard medium base (E26), allowing standard-base bulbs to be used in candelabra-socket fixtures. Rated for up to 75 watts at 120 volts, it is constructed of metal for durable, consistent contact. Electricians and lighting technicians use this adapter when retrofitting fixtures or accommodating bulb substitutions without replacing the socket entirely. It is approved for indoor use only.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial indoor lighting applications where a candelabra-base fixture needs to accept a standard medium-base bulb. Typical install scenarios include chandeliers, wall sconces, and decorative fixtures where the original candelabra socket limits bulb selection. It arrives carded and ready for immediate use.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Always turn off power at the breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized before handling any socket or adapter. Do not exceed the 75-watt maximum rating, as overloading can create a fire or shock hazard. This adapter is rated for indoor use only and must not be installed in damp or wet locations.
