Leviton LEV8101 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Leviton 8101 lampholder sold individually or only in bulk?
The Leviton 8101 porcelain lampholder comes as a pack of 100 sockets. That quantity suits a maintenance crew restocking a shop, a contractor wiring out a warehouse or parking structure, or a property manager standardizing lampholders across a portfolio. If you only need one or two sockets, a 100-count carton is far more than the job calls for.
2) Is the Leviton 8101 the right part to replace a broken porcelain socket in an existing fixture?
For fixture replacement and retrofit work, yes, that is one of the uses the 8101 is built for. The thing to confirm first is the mounting style of what you are pulling out: the 8101 is a two-piece ring-type socket, so it replaces another ring-type lampholder directly. If the old socket is a one-piece unit screwed to box ears, or a keyless pull-chain body, the mounting will not match up.
3) Why choose a porcelain lampholder instead of a plastic one?
Porcelain is the material to use where lamp heat would cook a thermoplastic socket: high-wattage incandescent service, enclosed or poorly ventilated fixtures, utility and industrial lighting. The 8101 body is porcelain throughout, which is why it holds up in those locations where a standard plastic socket fails over time.
4) What does "2-piece ring-type" mean on the Leviton 8101 socket?
It means the lampholder comes apart into two porcelain pieces, with a ring that clamps the assembly to the fixture or box. You wire the interior half in the open, then draw the two pieces together with the ring to secure it. That is different from a one-piece outlet-box-mount porcelain socket, which is a solid body you screw directly to the box ears. The 2-piece ring style is what you want when the socket mounts through a fixture pan or sheet metal opening.
5) What is the Leviton part number for the 2-piece porcelain ring lampholder?
Leviton catalog number 8101. Quote that number when you are matching sockets already installed in a building so the replacements come out identical to what is on the other fixtures.
6) Where are porcelain ring-type lampholders like the Leviton 8101 typically used?
Commercial and industrial lighting fixtures, utility and maintenance lighting, and retrofit work on existing fixtures. Think mechanical rooms, stairwells, storage and service areas, equipment sheds, anywhere the lamp runs hot and the fixture is plain work lighting rather than decorative.
