A lamp socket, also known as the Edison screw fitting, is a threaded screw base used to hold and connect a light bulb to a power source. Invented by Thomas Edison and marketed in 1909, these sockets typically have right-hand threads, which allow the light bulb to be screwed in clockwise and removed counterclockwise. To deter theft in public places, the threads are sometimes reversed to prevent installation in common light fixtures.
Lamps, light fixtures, and adapters are common types of fixtures that include a lamp socket. Light fixtures as well as lamps incorporate Edison screw lamp sockets into their design not only for holding and energizing the bulb but also to take advantage of the many types of bulbs on the market that use this design. Alternate designs were implemented in the early 1900s that varied from Edison's design but in the end, they fell out of use due to the practicality of the Edison screw.

Screw-in bases, also known as Edison lamp holder and light bulb sockets are used through out the world.
The conventions include terms like medium base and candelabra base. Often they are referred to with a letter-number designation that starts with an "E" followed by the number of millimeters in diameter of the base. If your base ends in a "d" this indicates a double contact base, this is typically used for 3-way bulbs.
Typically North American 120VAC bases and 240VAC bases differ by only a millimeter and carry the same full name in each country. Many EagleLight bulbs support both 120VAC and 240VAC, check specifications for the bulb to determine if the bulb

There are two types of lamp holder, plastic and metal. They may be found as part of a table lamp, or as a part of a pendant light fitting. The method of connection is similar for both pendant type and table lamp, but the metal and plastic types require different considerations.
The first difference to note is that plastic fittings have no earth connection and should therefore only be connected via a two core flex. Metal fittings must always be connected via a flex with an earth wire.
The second consideration is that metal fittings are not suitable in some locations – the most notable of which is bathrooms. Plastic ones may be used in bathrooms, but choose the type with a longer plastic shroud which shields the components better. In practice, metal lampholders are generally only used for certain types of table lamps.

G or Bi-pin light bulb base and sockets
The "G" base type of lamp and light bulb is used to designate a "pinned" base. This can include several pin types and different numbers of pins.
Designation is by letter(s)-numbers-optional letter: The first letters include "G" followed by an optional U, X, Y or Z. Next is a number that designates the number of millimeters between the center of each pin. Finally the optional final letter designates the number of pins, no letter implies 2 pins as does a d for double. Pin number designations include: s : Single, d : Double, t : Triple for 3 pins and q : Quadruple for 4 pins.
Examples include: GU10 base (Ceramic lamp fitting for standard GU10 bulb
