Where to find Mogul to Medium Base Adapter?

[Th3p3st24]

Post says it all...do any large hardware stores sell them? Ive checked the Ace and Lowes in my area and neither have...Ive even driven a few towns over to other lowes and Aces with no luck. If anyone has ne idea where I can find these without ordering them from the internet it would be a HUGE help

I've never heard of such a thing, that's not to say such a thing doesn't exist, but I doubt it. I'm guessing you have a bulb/socket mismatch? If you can find a bulb that matches your socket size that's probably your best option. If not, the only other thing you can do is replace the socket with the size you need. Use ceramic wire nuts if you can find them.

All of the 42, 65, 85 and 105 watt bulbs I have discussed here have regular sized sockets and the bulbs fit into any normal socket.
200 watt CFLs have a much larger socket, called a mogul socket.

8' Power Cord with Mogul Socket



If you want a 200 watt CFL, you will need one of those or a Mogul Socket.

There are Adaptors:
Mogul To Standard Bulb Adapter

it actually does exist

I unfortunately can't order from the internet so I'm trying to find one locally

electrical / lighting supply companies can order them for you If they don't have them in stock.
Call around first !

why wouldn't you just get a regular socket instead of a hard to find adapter?

because they have 150watt cfls at a store near me but they are mogul base....the only place that sells the mogule socket sells them for 35 a piece which is rediculous
