I went to Lowe's and bought a candelabra base with spring clips on it, it was in the electrical aisle in plastic tilt-out bins hung on the wall along with all kind of other light bases. Then I bought a brown extension cord, clipped the female portion off and and wired the cord directly to the candelabra base. The spring clips hold the light in the hole in the float and also allow plenty of venting around the base so all the heat doesn't build up inside the float.
