What?? I have never seen a heat damaged lamp socket.

Good grief how have you managed to avoid that? Never used tungsten
bulbs?

Daughters beside lamp failed the other night, the "bakerlite" lugs
for the bayonet had just broken, weakened by the heat.

But it shouldn't just be the bakelite, Shirley? That covers up a brass
bit that you actually plug the lamp into.

Which is rather thin and bends quite easily allowing the bulb to fall.__
