Need a light bulb holder for single gang wall box.
Hello,
I bought a house whose previous owner wired up a series of single gang wall boxes in the attic. They were used to power now defunct attic fans.
I would like to use this wiring to provide attic light. I want to mount a light on each of these single gang boxes. Is there a cheap way to do this (safely)?

Yes, they used the wrong boxes for what I am trying to do. I was in hopes there was a light socket that would bolt to the top of the boxes there. I will go ahead and change the boxes to the round ones you mention.
One thing- What is a "keyless fixture"?

Right or wrong lots of houses around here have switch/receptacle boxes installed behind wall lights. Older fixtures were sometimes screwed into drywall. Newer ones use the included strap to mount to the box and drywall gets notched to fit.
