The Critical Characteristics of a Doorstops Lamp is that they look like what we know as a well known doorstop from the Front. However, they always have a U-Groove on the back to hold the Electric Bulb.

The Light Scocket screws onto this threaded rod and the electric chord goes thru the hollow part of the rod & plugs into the wall.
