 Perfect solutionMar 22, 2008
By Gerald Baron

My porch light uses candelabra bulbs which don't last long and give off little light. This adapter let me use the twisted florescent replacement light bulbs that give off a good amount of light and last a long time -- and are energy efficient. Caution: make sure you have the room for the adapter and light bulb.

These work pretty wellMar 22, 2009
By Gregg Gusta
the problem with candelabra bulbs is they are cheap, mini candelabra bulbs don't last, come in too few varieties, these allow you to put a standard bulb in a mini socket. no idea what the person is talking about who couldn't get them to make any contact, sounds like either his bulbs or his lamp is faulty. They work as advertised. one did break after a couple years, but if I could find them elsewhere locally, I'd use them. These aren't exactly cutting edge tech, but what did you expect?
Lowes and home depot don't carry them as of 2008. it is what it is. Glad I was able to find them. Mini sockets are a pain. I will buy more of these again.

 Poorly made.Jan 07, 2011
By Linda A. Shinn
I also found, as someone else said, that these were cheap cardboard covered devices, and they wouldn't screw far enough into the light bulb socket to make any electrical connection.
I thought about it, and as the one other person who did a review, had said that he felt that what prevented them from working, was that the cardboard came down too far on the sides, and that cardboard then would not allow the socket to screw in far enough,I got out a serrated knife and very carefully cut off a very thing strip of the cardboard all the way around on each of them.
I tried them again, and was then able to screw them in far enough to make the connection so they then worked.
I put tape around them and the sockets that I had screwed them into, as I intended for it to be a permanent change, and that way they outside of then had a plastic coating, rather than cardboard.
I was really glad that I was able to get them to work, but, honestly, they ought to be manufactured well enough so that they work without customers having to "repair" them, in order to get them to work right.

What a relief!!!!!!!!!!!!May 31, 2009
By calcium toothpaste
Before I bought this enlarger, I had recently placed a new ceiling fan. I didn't notice that only candelabra light bulbs could be placed, with a maximum of 40W. I placed one lightbulb and it shone very dimly. After I bought the enlarger, I placed a power saving light bulb of 13W and now the room is lit properly.
This enlarger saved me around $90 and the effort of replacing the ceiling fan.
