Cups - Lamp Socket Covers
Cups are parts for lamps, lighting fixtures, or candelabras that hold or cover the base of a light source. When present on a fixture that uses electric lighting, cups hide sockets as well as the bases of light bulbs adding a finished look to the standard Porcelain and Phenolic Lamp Sockets. When used with a lamp socket Cups give the appearance of Wax Candles. Cups can be used as candle stick and shade holders for candelabras.
A lamp cup is a small, shallow cup-shaped component used in the assembly of certain types of lighting fixtures, such as chandeliers or wall sconces. The lamp cup is typically located between the lamp socket and the fixture, and serves to secure and support the lamp. The cup may also have a decorative role, serving as a mount for glass or crystal components that surround the lamp and add to its beauty. Lamp cups are typically made of metal, such as brass or steel, and come in a variety of sizes and finishes to match the style of the fixture and the room décor. The use of a lamp cup helps to ensure the stability and reliability of the fixture, and helps to protect the lamp socket and wiring from damage or exposure.
