I am a bit confused regarding the differences &amp; usability of different light bulbs. Is there a E26 BASE TO E27 BASE SOCKET ADAPTER ? Or will a E27 fit a E26?

In 120-volt North America and 100-volt Japan, the standard size for general-purpose lamps is E26. The E26 and E27 are usually interchangeable, as is E39 and E40 due to the minor differences in size.

I honestly don't know. I found a website comparing the two but it didn't give any specific information. Often shops will list bulbs that are compatible with a specific product. In any case, I have a Power Lite 76e. Sorry I couldn't help any further.

It's a typo in the ad copy. This adapter/reducer is for an E26 U.S. "standard" base bulb to an E12 U.S candelabra base bulb. It will work just fine for that purpose. F.Y.I.--The "E" stands for "Edison" screw base bulbs and the number is the diameter in mm of the screw base. There are many speciality bulbs but the most common bases in the U.S. are E12 candelabra, E17 intermediate, E26 standard or medium and E39 mogul.Walt answered on December 18, 2012

Check out this part number on Amazon 73564. This is the base/fixture. The only draw back is you have to buy the same brand of lights to work with that fixture. This fixture only has power on one end. We bought some and had to run wires to both ends to make the LED T8 bulbs light up. We looked and looked and this was the best option we could find.

These bulbs are medium, or standard sized base thread. Known as E27 in Europe (27mm diameter), and E26 in North American( 26mm diameter). They will not fit an intermediate socket. If you are looking for intermediate sized base, their designation is E17 in North America (17mm), and E14 in Europe (14mm diameter).

This fits any E27 Edison screw in socket - the issue is Space and size since the part that screws into the socket adds about 2 inches height and circumcise of about inch to two inches. So if you have a small fixture - you might have issues.

No they're not, but the E72 is almost certainly a typo. The number is the diameter of the bulb in mm so you can measure any bulb to determine its "E" designation. E12 is candelabra, E26 is "medium", which is what you screw into most light sockets.An E72 bulb would be almost 3" across!

Either. It will work with any bulb that has an E26 base. I use a 23-Watt (100W) Spiral CFL and the light is just outstanding and bright, It doesn't heat up and it perfectly fits. This bulb is really a good find for this lamp, I highly recommend it Triangle Bulbs T90020 (Pack of 2) G16 Decorative Globe Light Bulbs 300 Lumen 5-watt LED Light Bulb with E26 Base, Color 3000K, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

There are two questions here. This A21 bulb is slightly larger (the bulb itself) than a "standard, old-fashioned" light bulb which generally has a bulb diameter of A19. "Medium base" is the same as "Standard" base which is E26 or E27. (Don't confuse "Medium base" with "intermediate base".) The base of this bulb is in fact Medium, but if you really need a bulb where the "bulb part" is no larger in diameter than A15, this blub might be too large for your fixture. For the second question, look for "light bulb base chart" and "light blub size chart" on a search engine and then you can search for what you need. There are two questions here.

It's my understanding that E27 is the "Standard Edison Screw" in the US. The product in question has an over-sized socket. If you intend to run a bulb with the standard US "Edison Screw", you will need an adapter.

Standard base... a socket however blub size is larger then a regular fluorescent so if its covered there may be fit or heat issues.

I had similar issue, so I bought a bulb adapter from Amazon, like E17 to E12 Light Bulb Socket Adapter Intermediate Base E17 to Candelabra E12 ReducerSo just check the type of your light bulb and buy the correct E17 adapter.

M. Hughes is right - these bulbs fit ye olde conventional medium-base sockets. I bet you're looking for something that fits in a mogul base. Google around for mogul lamps (there's a wikipedia article to help you verify if that's what you've got), and if so, you can find adapters that'll let you put in regular medium-base bulbs.

Hello, Thank you for asking me. I'd love to answer any questions you have about this product. The bulb's total length is 3 inches from base of screw E27 to top of plastic cover. E27 is considered a medium base, it's basically the normal size screw of a regular light bulb. The European version is E27 and the American version is E26. The E27 bulb fits every light socket i've used them on with little difference. If you're ordering this same bulb from Factop I would make sure it's the E27 because the order I placed they sent the wrong bulbs which were G9 bulbs.

Terry, I know for sure ,in america if you ask for a E27 bulb, it will definatly fit in this.It is a standard bulb for this product that we have.
