Default lightweight lamp base

Are there standard-size lightweight plastic lamp bases that can be
screwed or nailed into wood? I want to install a series of lamp bases
in the upper half of a large valance, but do not want to add a lot of
weight. I looked at puck-light kits, but these operate off a
transformer and can not be controlled with a dimmer switch. All I can
find for lamp bases are the heavy porcelain kinds.

I've seen crap like these...

BTW I have a set of puck lights that are controlled by a touch pad -
Low, Medium, High, Off, Low, Medium, High, Off, etc. Would that work
for your application?
