JACKYLED 5-Pack E12 to E26 / E27 Adapter - Converts Chandelier Socket (E12) to Medium Socket (E26/E27)
I hesitated ordering these adapters, but did anyway since other sellers
were overcharging and asking as much as $5 for one converter. The
converters/adapters enable using LED bulbs with standard base in
candleabra sockets. One hidden problem with LED bulbs is that so far I
haven't found a bright or just as bright LED bulb with candleabra base
for use in current model Hunter ceiling fan light mounts. The standard
base LED bulbs are just now dropping slightly below the $10 per bulb
price. As an electrician I noticed that the standard base LED bulbs
include a large heat sink base that allows for cooling of the bulb and
safe operation even in the inverted position.You can actually touch this
ring and feel the heat while there is no heat on the glass sphere.
Many spiral flourescent bulbs and LED bulbs have the transformer built
in to the base with a overheat cutoff. Many spiral flourescent bulbs
fail to operate in overhead cans because of the overheat cutoff. After
trying LED bulbs of a variety of bulbs, so far the generic brand led
perform just as well as more recognizable brands. Some reviewers have
complained about some converters not working; I am guessing this is
because the bulbs are improperly installed. If you are putting these
bulbs outside you should use petroleum jelly or automotive quality
silicon electrical grease on the threads since LED bulbs may run longer
before being replaced. I mount the adapters on the bulb and then install
on the fixture. This allows more torque and doesn't strain the fixture.
I suspect the seller started testing prior to shipping this item. For
the really technical folks you can use a meter with a continuity option
to test each adapter. The truth is that there are very few parts in the
adapter that can fail. Read the review about lifting the center
contact(while disconnected). I have not seen a problem with the thread
depth of the adapter reported in another review.
