light socket

A light socket is the fixture that holds a light bulb and connects it to electrical current.
The bulb screws or clicks into the socket, which supplies power through metal contacts.
Standard household sockets accommodate bulbs of specific base sizes: The lamp needs a new light socket—the old one's corroded.
