Abstract
A faceplate light socket assembly for a light bank of the type used above vanity cabinets. The faceplate socket maintains a light bulb in substantially horizontal orientation perpendicular to the wall to which the light assembly is mounted. A pre-wired socket includes a spring clip which detachably retains the socket within a specially configured aperture of the faceplate. The aperture has an insertion slot to facilitate insertion of the spring within the aperture, a helical edge which gradually reduces the diameter of the aperture and a retaining notch to lock the socket in position. The helical edge biasingly compresses the spring clip upon rotation of the socket to maintain the socket within the aperture. An outer cylindrical surface of the socket is threaded for attaching a decorative sleeve.
