[Pointer]

Anyone have a source/brand name for a quality three way light socket?

I used to like Leviton when US-made. It cost me $500 to get a new outdoor GFCI installed for the pool in May. The China-made Leviton GFCI failed within five days.

Being a bit more precise ... for a lamp.

Thanks

Call a couple of lighting stores AKA "design centers". Many of them have electrical parts counters where the contractors buy their supplies. You might find some decent quality sockets there.

Yes, we understood that the first two times you posted.

The answer hasn't changed: Leviton, available at any home center or hardware store.

Hi, If you can find a vintage NOS even used one at flea market or garage sale. That is best. I have one on my lamp post and never have problem.

I've been buying all my lamp parts from a place in New Haven, Ct. called Grand Brass. They sell a very nice quality, well designed 3 way socket. shipping is pricey, so you need to buy a few items to make it pay. Online site: grandbrass.com

A second vote for Grand Brass. Sturdy stuff.
