How do I know what light bulb size I should get for a socket? The socket is smaller than the average socket
The two most common screw type bulbs in the US are the standard Edison 1&quot; base now normally described by it's international metric standardization as an E26 and the 1/2&quot; E12 candelabra base.
There is also an &quot;Intermediate&quot; socket, an E17 that is mostly used in appliances, and an E11 minicandelabra that is almost always a halogen lamp.
A picture would help.
