00:00E27 sockets are the most boring part of a pendant build until one melts, the bulb droops, or the
00:05shade won't sit straight. I went through the listings and pulled the 5 best deals for top
00:105 E27 lamp sockets for DIY pendant builds, so you don't have to scroll past 2000 lookalikes.
00:16First up, the classic industrial holder round socket base with an 850 degrees Celsius fireproof
00:22body, so it shrugs off heat from a hot bulb in an enclosed shade. Metal thread, solid ceramic feel,
00:28mounts to ceiling or wall. It's $5.94, 4980 sold, 4.8 stars. If you want that raw, exposed bulb
00:39industrial look, this is your safe default. Now the plot twist, product 2 is the exact same holder,
00:45same fireproof 850 degrees Celsius shell, same industrial base, for $5.76, and it's rated 4.9
00:53with 4852 sold. Cheaper and better reviewed. Grab this one, and only grab the other if it's on a
01:01deeper flash sale that day. Third one is the beginner-friendly option, a vintage E27 hanging
01:07holder that comes with the wire already attached, pick 1 meter or 1.5 meter, straight to your ceiling
01:12hook. No separate cord to buy, no stripping, and re-terminating a socket. $6.45, 4.8 stars,
01:214,790 sold. Worth it purely for the saved trip to the hardware store.
01:28Fourth is the bulk buy. A plain white screw base bulb socket, sold in packs from 1 up to 20
01:34pieces,
01:34for $4.08, lowest per unit cost on this whole list, 4.9 stars, 4,141 sold. If you're wiring
01:433 or 4
01:44matching pendants over a kitchen island, this is how you keep the project under 20 bucks.
01:49Last one is that same vintage hanging holder with the 1 or 1.5 meter wire, but it's $6.20
01:54with a 4.9
01:56rating and 3,432 sold. So it's the cheaper, better rated twin of number 3. Same shortcut wire included,
02:05hang it and go, just a better price if this listing has stock. That's the 5. Links to every one
02:11of them
02:12are in the description below, sorted cheapest to best value, so check the current price before you
02:16buy, these move around. If this saved you a scroll, hit like, subscribe, and I'll keep digging up the
