How do I tell if this will replace the existing socket I have in my lamps?

Christine... DON'T get this item. It fell apart before I was even able to put it into use. Perhaps mine was defective, but it broke VERY easily.

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.

This is a socket for three-way bulbs. If your lamp takes three-way bulbs with a chain pull, then it will work. I usually just leave the bottom portion of the socket attached to the lamp, and swap out the inner working with the switch (the part that usually goes bad). You can either use the new top portion, or the one from the original socket. Always unplug the lamp before working on it.

Most lamps use a standard socket and this fits a standard socket so I would think this would fit your lamp.

Lamp sockets are fairly universal but there are some things you can do to figure out what type you have. Screw in bulb sockets are cylindrical with an internal threaded metal lining. Bi-pin bulb sockets have a round cap shape with two small prong holes. There is also a fluorescent socket which I will assume you don't have. Measure the diameter of the socket. Standard sockets are 1 1/16 inches. Mogul sockets are are 1 19/32 inches. Intermediate sockets are 5/8 inch. Candelabra sockets are 1/2 inch etc. hopefully measuring will help you identify what you have.

Probably not, I had a hard time putting them into anything that had any sort of "socket extension" beyond the socket itself. Tried on many different lamps and light sockets, but the best places to use them were generic sockets, think the work lamps from home depot, things like that.

If you measure the width between the two connectors they should match. Also the wattage and if they are ac or dc current. Other than that they should work. They worked great for my desk lamp. Have a great day and I hope this helps. Charles Owens

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.)

I just plugged mine into existing socket and it works fine and looks great. no problems.

this fits a standard size light socket, as you would see in a lamp or ceiling fan lights. so I don't think this will be what your looking for! not sure about the smaller version tho!

Yes it fits a standard socket. I have it in an enclosed fixture it may over time diminish life of bulb a bit but so far it work great

I removed the original switch from the lamp and replaced it with this one. The original lamp cord was wired to the new switch and connected the same way.

Sorry I don't know. You have to look at your old bulb and compare it with pictures of the base of the bulb on sale. That's howI I did mine with no problems.

no, it is a larger than standard lamp socket. Consider the hydrofarm cfl reflector. It comes with a bulb and works great. I have two of them.Hydrofarm FLCDG125D Fluorowing Compact Fluorescent System

I am pretty sure the socket is connected right to the base, I installed it last year so going by memory. But you may be able to modify it to work. I would check the mfg website and take a look at the details, maybe they have a diagram to view. Great light for the money.

It will work they are all the same. I would replace the switch bulb assembly

I had a 12 volt 150 watt bulb that I replaced. Don't know the brand of the lampholder

Is e27 a standard socket? I don't know what socket I have but a regular light bulb fits into the lamp I just bought. Thanks

You have to find out the socket. this one is a FM2 socket. so i can't tell you yes or no.

Mine had a standard a-type Edison socket, like a standard light built. You could certainly use one of the modern LED bulbs designed to fit standard fixtures.
