What is a tombstone called by regular people?

The lamp socket.

To the OP, I am migrating all of my old T12F40s to LED as they go bad.
So far so good but considering most of these are 20-26 year old cheap
"shop lights", they have a lot to live up to.

Did you find any of the plastic parts became brittle? As I seldom use the
garage lights I would have stayed with fluorescent tubes but when tubes
won't twist into place and tabs snap off I get doubtful.

I have 20 year old shop lamps too, NP with the tabs, I'm in Florida. How
cold was it when yours broke?
