Lamp/bulb base manufacturer/supplier

I hate double-posting, but the component engineering forum doesn't get much traffic, so I'm reposting here...

Looking for lightbulb base suppliers in the US, particularly bases for festoon bulbs.  Maybe I'm not using the correct keywords in my searches.  I'm looking for all of the popular diameters... S6, S7, and S8.5

Suggestions?

Have you tried Leviton?

(OP)
I did not see anything on their website(s), but I'll send an email, just in case.

Just so there's no confusion, I'm looking for the metal portion that's on the bulb itself, not the base the bulb plugs into... Leviton seems to be more towards the plug side of things.  I only want to order a box of these things at a time, say 500-1k.

Oh, I that you wanted the socket, not the bulb component.  I doubt Leviton would have what you want.

RE: Lamp/bulb base manufacturer/supplier

IR, I've looked, but so far I haven't found anyone listing just the metal bases.  I've definitely considered buying the full bulb and removing the glass, but that's an extra step I'd like to avoid, if possible.

RE: Lamp/bulb base manufacturer/supplier

But, still, the makers of the full-up bulbs either make the bases or buy them from someone else.  It may further be the case that they'd be perfectly willing to sell the bases, but they don't specifically advertise it, since it's such a rare requirement.
