    Is the bulb cap narrow or wide?

    Walmart has them in the same place with the rest of their light bulbs. Forget what they're called, but they have them in normal size & little tiny size.

    Always tough to find a bigger bulb when you need it. And then when you finally do, it's invariably too big to screw into the socket.

    It's better to get a size too big than a tiny one.

    You'd think so, but electric fit incompatibilities are hard to over come.

    You'll have the best luck sticking with the maximum wattage bulb your socket was designed to accept. That will maximize light delivery while keeping the socket safe. Don't want to break something off in there and have to go fishing for it with half a potato. :wink:


    I've been that road before. Sometimes if you work the bulb into the socket, the fit lights up the entire lamp.

    I've seen the same effect when a lamp is hot-wired to more than one electric source. It's risky, and a fire hazard. I'm sure that sparks fly when it happens and it's fun to look at something illuminated so brightly, but cleanup is a B.

    Not to mention the shock if you get your fingers wet getting that bulb out. I'll get a man to help me with this one.

    Certified electrician here. I make sure the bulb fits the socket and always get it turned on to make sure my customer is satisfied ;)

    Over size bulb might blow the circuit, be careful

    3-ways. Tiffanies. Pretty awesome separately . . . but together? Priceless. Home Depot's light bulb selection is also a favorite of mine.

    I just picked up a 2 pack at the grocery store, and no joke, it was $2.69. Not a bad price. I wouldn't pay 4.69 & a blown circuit.
