Is there such a thing as a conventional light-bulb socket mountable to
a PCB?

HD or Lowes has an edison base that has a metal flange for mounting.
I think thats as close as you will get to a baord mount thing.


Places like Ace or Lowes should have an adapter that lets you plug a
light bulb into a standard outlet. Example:

-00061-00W/100170446

It should be possible to insert the prongs into holes on a circuit
board, and cut off the excess.
