Smart Socket ®
The Robolights Smart Socket ® is a versatile socket outlet box designed primarily for use on internally wired stage lighting bars. Since it's launch in 1999 the Smart Socket has become widely accepted as a leading industry standard product in the entertainment lighting and associated industries. The Smart Socket is manufactured in the UK from tough, resilient, injection moulded ABS which results in a lightweight, self-coloured, economical and hardwearing product. The Smart Socket is simple to install needing only one 16mm hole to be drilled into one wall of the lighting bar. A unique bush moulded as part of the Smart Socket fits into the drilled hole locating it on the bar, wiring then passes through the center of this bush and is then protected from any sharp edges. All necessary screws are supplied with Smart Sockets and no other rivets, screws or bushes are needed. Smart Sockets are available with a number of lid options and material colours and are ideal for new lighting bars and just as easily retrofitted to existing ones.
