Start with where you’ll use it, then match features to your space.

• Type: Choose from plug-in wall hubs with USB ports and night lights, desk/bedside lamps with AC outlets + USB charging, recessed desk outlets, or screw-in light sensor sockets for bulbs.
• Ports & Power: Check USB-A vs USB-C and total output (amps/watts) for phones vs tablets.
• Lighting needs: Look for dimmable night lights or adjustable color temperature if bedside.
• Safety & fit: Note max wattage, tamper-resistant shutters, and space-saving designs for tight outlets.

On Walmart.com, review specs and Q&A, then use Pickup or Delivery if that’s easier.

These screw between your fixture and bulb, using a built-in photocell to sense ambient light.

• Operation: The bulb turns on when it’s dark and off when it’s bright. A brief delay is common.
• Placement: Give the sensor a clear view—avoid deep shades or enclosed fixtures that block light.
• Bulb compatibility: Many work best with non-dimmable LED or incandescent bulbs; check the product page for specifics.
• Tips: Test by covering the sensor, keep it clean, and orient it per the instructions.

Always switch power off before installing or removing any light socket accessory.

A few simple habits can help keep things running smoothly.

• Know the limits: Check the outlet’s wattage and the USB port’s output. Avoid plugging high-draw appliances alongside your lamp.
• Use quality cables: Choose certified, undamaged cords and avoid crimping.
• Prevent heat buildup: Don’t cover night lights, desk lamps, or charging hubs; allow ventilation.
• Avoid daisy-chains: Don’t stack multiple adapters or power strips.
• Dry, tidy setup: Keep away from moisture and route cords to reduce strain.

If anything feels overly warm, reduce the load or unplug and review the manual for guidance.

Many light socket accessories on this page reference common medium bases.

• E26 vs E27: E26 is standard in the U.S., while E27 is common elsewhere. Sizes are very close, and some items note cross-compatibility.
• Check the listing: Look for the specified base type (E26/E27) and the maximum wattage.
• Bulb type: Unless the item says otherwise, stick with non-dimmable LED or incandescent bulbs.
• Fixture style: Some accessories aren’t intended for enclosed fixtures or three‑way/dimmer setups unless stated.

When in doubt, review the product detail page for base size and compatibility guidance.
