What is Bulb Base
A bulb base, also known as a socket or connector, is an essential component of a light bulb that enables it to connect to a power source and establish an electrical connection. It is located at the bottom part of the bulb and is responsible for securing the bulb in place within a socket or fixture. The bulb base comes in various types and sizes, each designed for specific applications.
Common types of bulb bases include screw bases and pin bases. Screw bases, such as the Edison base, are widely used and come in different sizes denoted by descriptive names and numbers. These sizes indicate the diameter of the base in millimeters. On the other hand, pin bases, like the bi-pin base, consist of two pins that protrude from the base and are inserted into corresponding sockets.

What Are the Two Types of Bulb Bases
Normally, a bulb typically has two types of bases: a screw base or a bayonet base. The diameter of the base is measured for bulbs with a screw base, while the spacing between two pins is measured for bulbs with a pin base.
How Do You Identify a Bulb Base
The shape or form of the bulb base is indicated by the first letter, while the width of the base is represented by the number, usually in millimeters. For instance, our 11S14 bulb is equipped with an E26 base, where “E” signifies the Edison screw-in style and 26 denotes a base width of 26 mm.
What Is an E26 Light Bulb Base
The E26 light bulb base is the cap or base of a light bulb that enables both electrical and mechanical contact. The term “E” in E26 stands for Edison Screw, which is the most common type of lamp base. The number “26” represents the diameter of the base in millimeters, which is approximately 1 inch.
What Is E26 vs E27 vs A19
E27 (or E26 in the USA) refers to the size of the socket screw base, commonly known as a medium base. A19, on the other hand, represents the standard shape of an indoor light bulb. Additionally, there is a BR30 bulb shape available, which is designed to fit into standard ceiling can fixtures and also features the E26 medium base.
What Is A19 Bulb Size
