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.
