Any ideas on where to get wedge-based sockets for plugging lights/LEDs?

To reiterate from above:

"I'm specifically looking for small square T 3-14 sockets with wire leads, not the thru-the-board screw-in types like Happ sells (too bulky for pushbuttons). "

The ones Happ has are the round ones that screw into a hole on a circuit board, and are probably too big to fit into a happs pushbutton.  I have seen smaller ones that are basically just a rectangular receptacle big enough for the wedge base to plug into.  Whatever I use needs to be insulated, and no larger across than 1/2 inch to fit inside the spring.

Sorry dude, it was early and I hadn't gotten enough coffee in the morning.

Well, no luck at Home Depot.  It's too expensive (and wasteful) to buy a whole malibu light for one socket...  I'll try contacting one of the manufacturers to see if they sell direct, or if not, who does.

Thanks
