5. Setup and Installation
The Uonlytech E26 Push Button Lamp Holder is designed for straightforward installation, making it suitable for quick DIY replacements or new lamp constructions. Always prioritize safety during installation.
Installation Steps:
- Disconnect Power: Before beginning any work, ensure the power supply to the fixture is completely turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Verify with a voltage tester if necessary.
- Remove Old Socket (if applicable): Carefully disconnect the wiring from the existing light socket. Note which wire is connected to the hot (usually black or red) and neutral (usually white) terminals.

- Secure Connections: Tighten the terminal screws firmly to ensure a secure electrical connection.
- Assemble Socket: If the socket has multiple parts, carefully reassemble them, ensuring all components fit snugly and securely.
- Mount Socket: Mount the new socket into the fixture, ensuring it is stable and properly aligned.
- Install Bulb: Screw an E26 base light bulb into the new socket.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power at the circuit breaker.
