Question 1

Is the metal mounting bracket attached with a screw? Can the mounting bracket be removed?

Accepted Answer

I just physically inspected one of the sockets and for the one I have, the metal mounting bracket is attached with a screw. The head of the screw is inside the socket, with the thread end of the screw extending a little out of the mounting bracket.

Question 2

how long are the wires coming out of the socket?

Accepted Answer

The one I received was 6-8" long. I used it to rewire a ceiling fans light unit.

Question 3

Can someone tell me the actual height of this socket?  Description says 4.1 inches, that can't be right.

Accepted Answer

The porcelain part is 1.5 inches height

Question 4

My can light in bathroom keeps flickering can I use this to replace the socket? Do you think this is what is broke

Accepted Answer

Maybe.  The sockets nowadays are very poorly manufactured with cheap materials and poor quality control.  First, you might try (with the power TURNED OFF!!!) using a pair of needle nose pliers to pull the center contact out away from the floor of the socket.  Over time these contacts tend to get pushed down with bulbs being screwed in and out.  If they're too far down, they can flicker because they don't have a good contact.  Second, the center contact can be corroded from sparking due to poor contact with the bulb base.  Again, with power off, you use a small piece of steel wool or sandpaper to remove the corrosion.  Third, if that doesn't work, the socket contact points for the center and outside may be loose.  The manufacturers use cheap rivets to hold the contacts firmly in position.  The electricity goes through these rivets and, if they are loose, they can cause short circuits (flickering).  If that is the case, the socket needs to be replaced.  This is where you have to determine how the socket is connected to your fixture.  There are several different "mounts" to attach the socket to the fixture.  If you purchase the wrong mount, the socket won't attach.  Sometimes the old mount can be used by simply removing a screw, removing the wire nuts used to connect black and white wires, connecting the new socket wires with the wire nuts in the same orientation, and using the old socket mounting bracket with the new socket.  Otherwise you have to purchase the correct socket with the appropriate mounting system, then remove and replace the old with the new socket.  Good luck.
