Hey DIYers and lamp repair folks, this brass 3-terminal socket is one of those specialized parts that can save an antique lamp or help you build something custom. It's not your standard socket - this is a two-circuit system that controls both a main bulb and a secondary night light or satellite lamp. The turn knob operation is super intuitive: first click lights the night light, second click lights the main bulb, third click lights both, and fourth click turns everything off. The bright gold finish looks fantastic and gives that vintage vibe, while the 1/8 IPS tapped bushing makes installation straightforward. What's really important to understand is this isn't a 3-way socket - it's designed specifically for controlling two separate light circuits from one socket. Perfect for those table lamps with a small night light in the base, or any project where you need independent control of two bulbs. The medium base works with standard bulbs, and the aluminum shell handles heat well. The wiring diagram included is super helpful if you're not familiar with these types of sockets. Whether you're restoring an old lamp, building something new, or just need to replace a tricky socket, this brass beauty gets the job done with style. The quality feels solid, and it's one of those parts that just works exactly as advertised.
