PRODUCT REVIEW:

The sockets are a perfect match to what I found in stores and the ones still in my pendants. I've replaced all 3 of the sockets and the lights work great again. No more contact issues or flickering bulbs. They came nicely packaged in a bubble envelope and they arrived quickly and undamaged from CA to MA.

I wish they came with the bulb clamp like my broken ones. I had to remove it from the old ones for re-use.

MY ADDITIONAL ¢:

I have three pendant lights over my bar. Two were finicky and the other was completely broken because of overheated/corroded sockets. I searched multiple brick and mortar specialty stores since I could not locate the socket at either Home Depot or Lowes. I finally found some selling for a whopping $ ea and thought no way so I jumped on to Amazon and low and behold LED Wholesalers to the rescue. At ¢ ea, I purchased 9 of the sockets (6 for future replacement if necessary) plus ~$ for S&H was equal to one from a local shop.

As a side note to anyone running halogen lights. My three pendants are rated for 50W bulbs, but I swear the sockets failed because of the build up of heat from these hot halogen bulbs, which sped up their degradation. I plan on switching to a much lower Watt LED bulb for the future or at least the lowest Watt halogen bulb (20W?) I can find to try and avoid/prolong the life of these sockets.

These "pigtails" are used for replacement wiring of lamps that use these but the original has broken. They are also ideal for new wiring of low-current fixtures such as LEDs that have an MR16 or MR11 two-prong base.

Pros

* All of them in the box worked, which is what matters.

* Stable connection for housed lights (e.g. for rewiring a desk lamp)

* The leads are supple and easy to use, for instance bending through tight corners in an existing fixture

Cons

* The connectors seem slightly loose, such that if you want to hang a lightweight bulb from them with no support, you'll need to bend the prongs on your light, slightly.

Other thoughts

The silver reflective layer you see in the product image is not for removal. It keeps the spring-loaded contacts from coming loose.

I had originally given this four stars, because they worked but were a bit loose. After a year in service they all still work, haven't cracked, remain flexible and work fine, so I'm upgrading to a 5-star.

These connectors worked great for setting up an outodoor lighting project I did. I used these to connect to the LED lights sold at amazon. They are powered by a solar recharged battery system and work as expected. The construction seems solid and I don't see any issues with the longevity of the item (sealed in jars outdoors).

One of my in-pond lights occasionally will leak and short out or corrode the lighting socket itself. This is a perfect replacement and saves replacing the expensive entire fixture. This socket is easy to work with and is of good quality. Shipped quickly, though overall cost for one socket and shipping was too expensive.
