Welcome to Action Lighting™, Inc.

Light Sockets for Signs, Holiday Displays & Lighting Projects of Every Size

The socket is the unsung hero of any lighting setup. It connects, supports, and powers every bulb you screw, push, or pin into place, so choosing the right one makes all the difference. At Action Lighting™, we stock a deep selection of light sockets built for signs, holiday displays, amusement rides, event décor, and everyday home use.

Why the Right Socket Matters

A bulb is only as reliable as the socket holding it. The wrong fit can mean flickering lights, premature burnout, or safety concerns. The right socket means clean connections, long bulb life, and a lighting display that looks great year after year.

A few quick benefits of choosing quality sockets:

  • Reliable performance: Secure contact points for steady, flicker-free light
  • Longer bulb life: Proper voltage and quality  protect your investment
  • Safety first: Weatherproof and heavy-duty designs reduce risk outdoors
  • Easy swaps: Quick bulb changes when it's time to refresh

Different Types of Light Sockets We Carry

There's no single "regular light bulb socket" that fits every job. Knowing the different types of light sockets makes shopping much easier. Here are the main styles you'll find with us:

  • E26/E27 Medium Base: The standard screw-in socket for most household and signage bulbs
  • E17 Intermediate Base: Common in signs, carnival rides, and commercial displays
  • E12 Candelabra Base: Perfect for chandeliers, string lights, and decorative fixtures
  • E10 Mini Base: Used in FunLight cabochons and miniature displays
  • C7 & C9 Sockets: Classic holiday socket LED light options for festive strings
  • Mogul (E39/E40) and Conversion Sockets: For high-wattage bulbs or adapting between sizes

Whether you need a single replacement or thousands for a large build, we have you covered.

LED Sockets and Modern Compatibility

LED sockets are designed to handle the lower voltage and heat profile of LED bulbs while still working with traditional incandescent options in many cases. Our LED-ready sockets are a smart choice if you're upgrading an older display or planning a fresh installation that will run for years without constant maintenance.

Temporary Lighting Sockets for Events and Seasonal Use

Need something flexible for a one-time event, a pop-up shop, or a seasonal decoration? Temporary lighting sockets are built for quick setup and easy takedown. They're a favorite for:

  • Wedding venues and outdoor receptions
  • Holiday and Christmas displays
  • Carnival booths and fair attractions
  • Trade show signage and pop-up retail

How to Pick the Right Socket

A few simple questions will point you in the right direction:

What base size does your bulb use?

Is the socket going indoors or outdoors?

Do you need weatherproofing or heavy-duty construction?

Are you using LED, incandescent, or both?

When in doubt, our team is a quick call or message away. We've been helping customers light up signs, amusement parks, and homes since 1987.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between E26 and E27 sockets? 

They're nearly identical in size and largely interchangeable. E26 is the U.S. standard; E27 is the European equivalent.

Can I use LED bulbs in any socket? 

In most cases, yes,  as long as the base size matches. For dimmable setups, make sure your bulb and dimmer are LED-compatible.

Are your sockets weather-resistant? 

Many are. Look for weatherproof or heavy-duty labels for outdoor projects.

Do you sell sockets in bulk? 

Yes. We supply sign shops, decorators, and large venues with volume pricing.
