1-1/2" Bright Bronze Candle Socket for Sanctuary Candlesticks | Koley's Inc.

A 1-1/2" Bright Bronze Candle Socket for Sanctuary and Altar Candlesticks

The 1-1/2" Bright Bronze Candle Socket by Koley's Inc. is a practical liturgical accessory designed to hold a 1-1/2" sanctuary or altar candle securely in a candlestick cup. Candle sockets are inserted into the cup of a candlestick to provide a snug, stable fit for candles that are slightly smaller than the cup opening, preventing wobbling and keeping the candle properly centered during liturgical celebrations. The bright bronze finish gives this socket a warm, polished appearance with the deeper, richer tone characteristic of bronze, complementing bright bronze candlesticks and liturgical hardware throughout the sanctuary.

This 1-1/2" size is designed for parishes whose candlesticks use 1-1/2" diameter candles, a common size for larger altar and processional candlestick sets. Using the correct socket size ensures a secure fit, a cleaner burn, and a more polished appearance on the altar. Please verify your candle diameter and candlestick cup size before ordering to ensure a proper fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What is a candle socket?
Answer: A candle socket is a cylindrical insert placed inside the cup of a candlestick. It holds the candle securely and centered in the cup, preventing wobbling and ensuring a stable, clean burn during liturgical celebrations.

Question: How is a candle socket different from a candle follower?
Answer: A candle socket fits inside the base of the candlestick cup to hold the candle from below. A candle follower caps the top of the candle and descends with the flame as the candle burns. Both are practical accessories for maintaining sanctuary candles, but they serve different functions.

Question: What size candle does this socket fit?
Answer: This socket is sized for 1-1/2" diameter sanctuary or altar candles. Please verify your candle diameter and candlestick cup size before ordering to ensure a proper fit. Sockets are also available in 1" size.

Question: What finish is this socket?
Answer: This socket has a bright bronze finish, which gives it a warm, polished appearance with the deeper, richer tone characteristic of bronze alloys, well suited to bright bronze candlesticks and liturgical hardware.
