Product Information

Like candelabra bulbs with E12 bases, bulbs with E17 bases are used for decorative applications, such as chandeliers, wall sconces, Christmas lights, restaurant pendant lights, ornamental lights, and sign or marquee lights. Light fixture sockets have a grip on the inside of the socket, and light bulb bases have a matching metal tab on the outside of the base. When looking at watts it's important to note that LED replacement bulbs have a much lower wattage than an incandescent counterpart, so it won't be a like for like swap by this measure. A lowercase "q" at the end of the designation indicates that it is a quad-pin base, with two bi-pin pairs.

Often referred to by the industry term of lamps, choosing the correct bulb helps to ensure optimum performance, efficiency and lifespan for both practical and decorative use.The large E39 “mogul” base is used on street lights, and high-wattage lamps (such as a 100/200/300 Watt three-way). In addition to automotive lighting, wedge bases are also used in other applications such as outdoor lighting, commercial lighting, and theatrical lighting. In most cases, when bulbs are powered by alternating current, the thread is linked to neutral, and the contact on the bottom tip of the base is connected to the “live” phase. The three most often used bases in the United States of America for traditional lighting are the E12 (candelabra), the E26 (medium), and the E39 (mogul).

The base has two or more protruding tabs that fit into corresponding slots in the pin, and the pin is then rotated to lock the connection in place. It broadly covers what the different light or lamp bases mean, why different lamp bases are used for different lighting applications, and where those light bulb bases are used. A bipin or bi-pin (sometimes referred to as two-pin, bipin cap or bipin socket) is a type of lamp fitting.Bulbs with E12 bases are commonly used for decorative applications, such as chandeliers, wall sconces, Christmas lights, restaurant pendant lights, ornamental lights, residential or commercial string lights, and night lights. The base has a wedge-shaped groove that fits over a corresponding protrusion on the pin, and the pin is then pushed into the base to lock the connection in place.

They are commonly used for general lighting in standard light fixtures, such as ceiling lights, lamps, can lights, outdoor spotlight and flood light fixtures, and vanity lights. The most common is the Edison screw base, which may be found on most incandescent bulbs and many halogens, compact fluorescents, HIDs, and now LED lights.As a result, LED light bulbs have become increasingly popular and are therefore available across a wide range of styles, cap fittings, lumens and wattages. You can simply replace your existing lamps or upgrade to the latest versions if you're feeling green. This design allows the connection to be made and broken quickly and easily, while also providing a secure connection.

It is important to choose the right type of light bulb base for your specific application, as using the wrong base can cause problems such as flickering or improper electrical connections. Bayonet bases are a type of electrical connector that uses a bayonet-style locking mechanism to secure the connection. When you’re wondering what the difference between a medium and a miniature bi-pin socket is, it doesn’t just involve the size of the part itself.

There are also double-ended halogen and fluorescent tubes with one pin at each end, and high-output fluorescents with recessed or shrouded contacts, which are not covered here. There are many different types of light bulb bases, each of which is designed to fit a specific type of socket or fixture. The bayonet base consists of a base and a mating pin, which are designed to fit together in a specific way.
