A ____ is an outlet intended for the direct connection of a lamp holder.

• A. Lighting Outlet
• B. Receptacle Outlet
• C. Power Outlet
• D. Dimmer Outlet

Answer: (A)

Lighting outlets are designed to feed fixed lighting fixtures and lamp holders directly, without needing a separate cord-and-plug connection. This makes the term the precise label for an outlet intended for direct connection of a lamp holder, since it specifies a connection type used by lighting fixtures rather than portable loads.

A receptacle outlet is a general-purpose outlet for plug-in devices, so it isn’t specifically described as the direct-connection type for lamp holders. A power outlet is a broad term for any outlet that supplies electrical power, not the specialized lighting connection. A dimmer outlet would imply built-in dimming control, which isn’t part of the standard designation for lamp-holder connections.
