If safety/security is a concern, lights are simply placed at hard to reach locations or are bought with safety housings, which are fairly cheap. In extremis, instead of common voltage bulbs, high voltage are used, thus incompatible with household voltage. And specific purpose lamps... I may be the odd one but there are other sockets available in the market. Why opt for the basis threaded one? permalink fedilink source parent
