Has anyone succeeded in using this in a fixture where you also have a light socket adapter in place? Can it accommodate that added length?

Probably not. The opening on the bottom would allow the lamp to protrude and accommodate the extra length, but then the bulb wouldn't really be protected, unless the bulb was very short to begin with.

I have it in a dog house with a light scoket with a regular bulb in it. It works great. There is room left over but I don't know what an adapter looks like. Will look one up on line. Just looked adapter up. Can you describe yours as there are a lot of different ones.The dog loves to read at night :)All kidding aside, it keeps her warm in the winter.Edit: I just check the light cage and with the regular light bulb in there is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches left.

The socket is configured to fit a regular light bulb fixture. I just a regular 60 watt energy savings bulb. You can use halogen but may be an overkill.

There are other choices but my lighting fixtures will not accommodate other size bulbs. Look at Lowe's or Home Depot for similar thread type and you will find something less expensive.

No, fixture is not designed for direct mounting. No easy access to inside of fixture. Instructions state to mount "minimum of three inches from ceiling."

As long as it has a standard screw in bulb size like a regular light bulb. I did install the shorter mini bulbs so they would not stick as far out. I would say maybe it sticks out about 1 1/2 inches compared to the normal bulbs that I used to use. It still is under the fixture. These work great and are well made of ceramic. Glad I got them. Saving me money on bulbs.

No, but I have seem a screw in adapter though. It screws into the socket and bulb then screws into that. As I remember it was about 1 inch in height, I will do a search. Later, Fredric Myers

There are 3 tabs that can be taken out in different locations meant to make the fixture universal, however I found the wirer inside the fixture too short and there for had to add wirer in order to make the connection.

length---from the "lens" cover to the screw-in base....this makes a difference because of what the fixture can accomodate

depends on fixtures socket ,if socket is short it will but if socket is long it will not .you may be able to modify the fixtures socket to accommodate the rgb led light i.e. bend socket mount or let socket float in housing .

This fixture does not come with a light socket adapter. The fixture has a terminal block to enable connection to power.

hi Micheal, I actually returned this item because i thought it was the complete fixture. I bought a different light else wear. I believe on this type of light it just snappes into place. i hope this is helpful.

Sorry, I am not sure, I was going to try that on a job, but resolved the problem before I got around to using the light socket adapter. I was going to use a 2-prong light socket adapter and a 2-3 prong adapter plugged into that for the test unit.

It fits into a deep electrical box that you supply. In your case, you would have to cut out a section of brick wall, mount the electrical box and insert the components of the fixture.

I have not tried to fit it into a standard fixture but I doubt that it would because the bulb is much thinner. I bought a fixture t.o go with it

You can use this in any standard or regular bulb receptacle or socket. If it is able to meet your expectation that only depends of the size of the area where you want to use it. For me it was more than enough because I'm using it just to create an effect in a small bar (about 20sq ft)

It works with any fixture that has a hook at each end. Fixture length doesn't matter. The other hook attaches to your ceiling or whatever you intend to support the fixture with. I bought #10 screwhooks from Home Depot to attach to the ceiling. Once hung the light height can be finely adjusted up by pulling the cord through the ratchet or down by releasing the ratchet.

It is called a Edison base. Any light bulb with an Edison base will work. The extension will not support any weight. So for practical use it must hang downward.
