Can this be used in floor lamps at home? The socket has 2 holes, this item says 4 PINs.. is there a mismatch and how to go around that?

This is for a specific socket with 4 pins. There are similar bulbs with 2 pins - but there is a specific 2 pin socket that matches the bulb in this case as well.

If you can get an adapter for it, it will work. Outside of that I am not too sure about that working too well.

The bulb is lamp specific.They can only be used in a lamp that requires tht model bulb.

There are definitely 4 pins in the Sylvania 20669, so it would not work in a 2-hole floor lamp (I guess, not being an expert).

Some are 4 pins and some are 2 pins - they are not interchangeable - I had this problem and had to exchange for the right configuration

I'm using the FeatherBrite bulb in a 3 lamp floor lamp which is very similar in design to a student goose neck lamp. The fluorescent full-spectrum bulb will fit any "standard" light socket. The bulb sticks out a bit but for me that doesn't matter.

It should be the same thing. As long as the prongs fit it will work. I have had two floor lamps that used those type bulbs, but, had to scrap both due to ballast going out on them. Could have re[placed ballast but could almost buy new lamp for the cost. Don't think either one lasted more than two years. In my opinion they are pretty shoddy products. I got a lamp with a screw in socket and use an Obama bulb.

It is worth a try--I thought the same thing but it works---just check the wiring from the old lamp to make sure they are; four wires, black white red, yellow and that the size is compatable, good luck Tom P

It should fit into most any floor lamp. The bulb will fit into a standard size socket, or it can fit into the larger mogal socket with the use of the included adapter.

If it fits into the lamp it will work. I used it on my cabinet lighting where there was plenty of room. I've installed similar items in my lamps with no issues but made sure they fit OK first.

We just screwed it in and it worked beautifully. check the contacts otherwise???? Good Luck - FYI we used it outdoors in a ceiling socket. If you are using it in a lamp that may be problematic?

I'm not an electrician, but the socket I replaced looked just like this one, and I assume socket size is universal. Installation was super easy and now my light is 3-way.

I don't use it for a floor lamp. I use it in overhead sockets in my garage and utility rooms.

The one I bought was for an exterior flood lamp. Believe it is standard size and should work for you interior socket.

no i cannot be plugged into a standard light bulb socket. it needs to be plugged into a 4 prong ballast in order to work. some floor lamps uses these.

I would not put this into a floor lamp = WAY WAY OVERKILL I have a floor lamp - and you need to get a A29 version - the important thing is LUMENS !! Get a A29 ( WHICH IS THE BEST FOR FLOOR LAMPS OR THE SAME ) but get one that is 1000 lumens ... or there abouts These LED FLOODS will not be good for your application THANKS!

It screws onto existing bulb socket that has threads. If your socket doesn't have a threaded end this won't work. I found the construction of this to be quite flimsy also.

Yes, it will fit in any standard socket. However, be aware that it is much bigger than a regular bulb and is not likely to fit into a standard lamp harp or shade. (I use mine as a reading light and needed to buy a larger harp.)

The standard light bulb socket fits this light. The two pin will not work with this light as it is shipped to you.

This socket is for night-light bulbs with a candelabra base. I use a 4-watt bulb. I don't know if you can use a higher wattage bulb, but you can contact Westinghouse. The page on their website that lists this item is: http://www.westinghouselighting.com/lighting-accessories/light-fixture-accessories/lamp-accessories-and-hardware/6-cord-set-with-snap-in-pigtail-candelabra-base-socket-and-cord-switch-7010800-2.aspxThe link to contact them is:http://www.westinghouselighting.com/contact-us/Hope this helps

I assume one of the prongs is a bit larger (more square)? That is the modern polarity plug and sometimes they will not fit into old outlets. A couple-dollar adapter bought at any hardware store will cure your problem (take fixture with you so hardware store people know what you are talking about) or, you can update the outlet in your home that you want to use, with a new design outlet (not easy for untrained person to do and could be dangerous to try by yourself).
