the socket on my lamp looks like it needs a PLUG IN in type blub (like fluor.tubes) It will not take the e17 intermediate size base screw type bulb . There does not seem theat there are any threads. Any ideas? Thanks

I purchased a Sylvania CF13EL/MICRO/827/INT 2700K from Loews and it works well with the lamp.

I had the same problem. I took the lamp to Home Depot and tryed bulbs. I used a 25 watts 120 volts R14 Mini Reflector Frosted Incandescent Light Bulb, Intermediate base. I think it is also called an E17.

IF you are asking; "What size IS THE BASE SOCKET?"-If so-The Screw-In Base size is called a "Size-(E39)-" It is LARGE-But IF you are asking "what IS the screw-in base size...again, for THIS BULB, it is an E39 Base..(.E39)refers to the OVERSIZED SCREW-IN BASE SIZE of this HPS bulb. As compared to a household lightbulb, the E39 Base is of FAR BIGGER DIAMETER-and BEWARE to use an (E39) SOCKET...

There is a metal clip surrounding the socket base that is slightly larger. For typical lamp applications you would remove that clip, insert the black socket base through a hole sized just slightly larger. Then reattach the clip which holds the socket in place. No, as stated previously, the plug is molded to the wire.

check the end tabs. Probably are too long. It is actually the wrong bulb for the lamp. It can be modified to work if carefully trimmed.

When I removed my old burned out bulb the glass pulled out. When I replace it again (I own 2 of these type desklights) I am going to try pulling the "Base" and not the bulb. BTW: One of the suggestions is to use soft cloth when handling the glass part to prevent the oil from your fingers from tainting the light emission. ALSO .... The base is "Crimped" together and it "Will" pull apart. That also happened to me.

The bulb may not fit properly in all sockets. This is an A21 bulb, which is larger than your standard A19 bulb; it also has a flared base which may be problematic in some fixtures.If it's not lighting at all, it may not be making proper contact with the lamp socket.

I use a cfl and it works fine. I think the "traditional" bulb for this lamp is more indirect, but the socket is a standard size, so you should be able to screw anything into it.

Sorry I can't help. I threw mine out after it failed to work in the lamp we bought it for. In fairness, I think the lamp was the problem, not the bulb.

It says it uses an E17 Intermediate Base bulb, which is smaller than the standard base which is E26. IT is the middle size of the three most popular blubs; The E17 base is larger than a candelabra (E12) and smaller than a medium (E26) or ... You can get different watts.

Sorry the bulb didn't fit my lamp. So it is useless. I should have returned back to amazon but I was so busy I didn't return. I still have it but not sure what to do with it because cannot be used for any of my lamp.

what I bought were the smaller, chandelier type base. NOT a Standard socket base. Sorry could not help.

No idea what the requirements are but I can tell you these fluorescent lights will fit into a normal size incandescent socket. However, the fluorescent tubes are bigger than a normal sized incandescent light. If your application doesn't have much room beyond what an incandescent light occupies then you'll probably run into an issue.

My best idea is try one of these: 15-Pack E12 to E26 / E27 Adapter - JACKYLED Chandelier Socket (E12) to Medium Socket (E26/E27) Converter ,Max Wattage 1000W,200&#x2103; Heat Resistant,No Fire HazardBut I don't know if you'd be able to get the glass back on or not. I'd hope so, as I love the look of this, but would want better and easier to find bulbs too!

This is MR16/GU10 size/socket. U should search for screw on type light bulb for your fixture.

This bulb is plug & play type. No change is needed for the T10 compatible socket. If they don't light properly after inserting into the socket, please insert oppositely or flip the bulb horizontally to match the + and - polarity. Also, try to pull the pins on the base outwards and sideward a little in case the bulb is slightly loose in socket and make a contact firmly. Thanks

The base is for a standard bulb, but this in not a light. It requires a bulb to be screwed into the socket.
