The socket adapter freely fits into the e39 side socket.

Socket adapter did not fit snugly into the E39 side socket even though it made contact. After screwing the bulb in to see how the E26 side would fit, the bulb got stuck. I don't know how, it got stuck as it was a new bulb. However, after five minutes of gently wiggling the bulb to pull it out, the socket fell apart. I will not buy this brand again.

Pros
  • Type: E39 to E26
Cons
  • Large and chunky

Okay but be careful

Be careful as this adapter is not very durable. It would be better if there were apartments for installation and removal. If you find it very tight (like me) be careful with the channel locks or other keys. I had never heard of Mogul lights/sockets before. I found it cheaper to get an adapter and buy a standard bulb (e-26/27 or medium) than to replace a Magnate bulb for an equivalent light output. If you expect "rough" use, I would look for an adapter made of ceramic or some other more durable…

Pros
  • Voltage: 80-277V
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Not for all Mogul branches!

This adapter did not work for me at first. The black flange over the threaded portion limits how deep the device can be screwed into the mogul socket. I thought that was my problem but reading other reviews I think I have a 3 pin socket that is not quite compatible with this adapter. I lifted the center tab in the adapter to make better contact with my lightbulb and that helped, but unfortunately not enough. If I screw this first onto a lightbulb and then into a live outlet, the light will…

Pros
  • Not suitable for incandescent lamps
Cons
  • Expensive
