I need to repair a pole lamp; one of the sockets went bad. The lamp currently has porcelain sockets, in particular they are bottom knob turn sockets. Not only can't I find a replacement socket at Home Depot / Lowes, I can't even find a porcelain one on the web. I can only find bakelite. Does bakelite withstand as much heat as porcelain?
