Review on πŸ’‘ E17 E12 Adapter Converters for Electop by David Plunkett

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Tighten well, otherwise arcing may occur

These adapters solve the problem by getting rid of hard-to-reach E17 light bulbs. The only problem is that the adapter goes so deep into the socket that it's almost impossible to tighten. On first use, 2 sockets between the bulb and adapter bent, causing the adapters to burn a bit. Luckily there were 5 adapters in the kit and I only needed 3. I replaced the damaged adapters and tightened them with the bulbs enough that I felt the bulb would come loose from the base. I then removed the bulbs and the adapters came out with the bulbs. So I have to remember to remove the adapters from the bulbs when changing bulbs. No problem now, just tighten them really tight, more than you would normally tighten a lightbulb and that should eliminate any possibility of arcing. Update to previous review. Tightening the lamps was only a temporary fix. All 3 adapters burned out within a day. These adapters appear to be an unsafe product. I will send them back.
