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

I had the same question. After researching this is what I found. E27 is the European standard whereas the E26 (also called a medium base) is the American standard. The E27 base is 1 mm wider than the E26. The E27 base is also slightly longer, about 1 thread. From what I read the E27 base should be able to be used in a E26 socket in most cases but will be a tighter fit and may not screw in completely.

that is a great question---I do not know the answer. You'd better google the differenttypes of lamp bases. I use it with a regular old light bulb that you use with any lamp.

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.

PS... Yes, this is the correct product. I was doing the same thing, I was using imported European E14 LED Bulbs since they are sometimes cheaper, and was using them in my American Market Designed Chandelier here in the USA Happy Lighting, enjoy.

Be careful that the base matches. There are several that look alike. Some have ballasts in the bulb others have the ballast in the socket. Mine had four holes in base but two holes were blocked so that the 4 pin bulb I bought didn't fit so I had to send it back and then the replacement only lasted one hour. After buying four bulbs and they only lasted a short time, I gave up.

This miracle led extender works for all types of bulbs with E26 or E27 standard base. The base commonly found in your house.

All types with the same base. 'Mirrors' the base into which you screwed this extension. So, the type of bulb you use depends only on what kink of bulb is specified by the lamp, not the extension

Yes an Edison base is a standard light socket. I used this same bulb in a 12v system in a cabin, and works great, much better than a cfl. Just funny looking. Very bright.

It is the standard US bulb size which is E26 as I read in this entry in wikipediaQ: Are E26 and E27 light bulb bases interchangeable?Yes. The E26 is the standard 120 Volt American base. The E27 is the European variant and is rated at 220 Volts. E26 is 26 mm and the E27 is 27 mm diameter. However, an E26 bulb can fit in E27 base and an E27 bulb can fit in E26 base without problem. The sockets / bulbs are interchangeable except for the voltage rating. Therefore, LED E26 bulbs that are universal line-voltage can be used in both E26 and E27 sockets.

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 am not sure, but the socket reducer works perfectly with the E12 (candelabra base) bulbs. E72 seems to be an LED bulb.According to Harrington Lights, there are seven types of light bulb bases: E10, E11, E12, E14, E17, E26 and E39. Each base size fits a specific light socket or style of lighting fixture. E12 light bulbs are generally known as candelabra light bulbs.Read more: What Is an E12 Bulb? | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/about_5426628_bulb.html#ixzz2FVFeohiM

It's an E11 used only for small halogen bulbs. I don't believe there is any other bulbs that use an E11 socket. You can adapt an E11 to E12 (candelabra base). I replaced the socket with a standard E19 socket. The other limiting factors are the diameter of the shade opening (small) and its depth. I was able to get 40W equiv LED ceiling fan bulb to fit. If you go that way, be sure to get a bulb rated for enclosed fixtures. In short, it's possible, but difficult. The manufacturer needs to update the light assembly since a 75W or 100W halogen uses up to 10X what an equivalent LED bulb would, has a much shorter life, and produces unecessary heat.

Hi. No the two I am using - and like - have a base like a regular bulb that you would use for a table lamp. I don't know the technically correct name for that base.

These fixtures take standard screw-in (E27) light bulbs. If your bulb has pins instead of an E27 base then I think you're out of luck save finding an adapter.

It takes bulbs with E26 base. I most recommend that you use 40W equivalent LED bulbs for this fixture. It worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very relaxing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient.

The lamp takes a candelabra base bulb. I bought a very inexpensive adapter (candelabra to standard converter) and I use standard base bulbs without any problem.

The user guide under specifications says: Input: E27 - AC 100V-240V, 50Hz-60Hz; Socket E27. On the actual bulb, it says, 10W, 120V CE. I see nothing on the bulb or control that would switch it from 120 to 240.

This product allows the use of the E12 candelabra base lamb in an E26 medium socket (which is the usuall, standard socket). the designation E72 does not identify any USZ lamp of which I am aware. Perhaps it was a typographical error.The units that I purchased worked well.
