Kerr Lighting - Duel Replacement Light Socket
NOTE: These sockets will not fit the 3156 bulbs used in some newer lighting fixtures.
SHOPTJB TIP: If you need replacement sockets for older Kerr lighting fixtures and they do not have a hole in the middle of the socket, you will still have to use these sockets. The original manufactuer of the non-hole sockets no longer exsists. You can use these new sockets but you will have to modify the mounting. The old style sockets used a wider profile clip system and the newer ones are too small for the clips too work. Do not panic! There is a solution. What we have used that does works, is getting a tube of black silicone (Window & Door or Kitchen & Bath), then squirting a blob on to the fixture base between the socket clips. Then, place the new replacement socket flat down into the silicone. Use some tape to hold in place until the silicone hardens in 6-12 hrs. Repeat for the other socket. Then remove the tape and the new socket will be secured in place ready for use. The silicone is a great adhesive as well as being waterproof.
