00:00Okay, so here's a problem I bet you've run into, you buy a gorgeous lamp, get it home,
00:04unbox the bulb you already own, and the base doesn't fit.
00:08Wrong size, wrong thread, total waste of a trip.
00:11Well, I went down a bit of a rabbit hole and rounded up the top 5 E27 lamp holder converters
00:17and sockets, all of them under 6 bucks, all of them rated 4.8 stars or higher.
00:22Let's get into it.
00:24First up is the E14 to E27 bulb socket converter, and honestly this is the one I'd grab
00:29if you only buy one thing today.
00:32It takes a small skinny E14 fitting and opens it up to a standard E27 screw base, so all
00:37those regular bulbs sitting in your junk drawer suddenly become useful again.
00:41It handles anywhere from 110 to 220 volts, so it works pretty much anywhere in the world,
00:47and the plastic housing is heat resistant so it's not going to get soft or warp on you.
00:52It's $4.12, nearly 5,000 sold, and a 4.9 rating.
00:57That's a really easy yes.
01:00Next, the B22 to E27 converter, and this one is a lifesaver if you've got older bayonet
01:06fittings.
01:07You know the ones, push in, twist, click.
01:10Those are everywhere in the UK, Australia, and a lot of older homes, and finding bayonet
01:15LED bulbs is getting harder every year.
01:18This adapter turns that bayonet socket into a standard screw fitting, and it's specifically
01:22built with an anti-burning base, which means better heat handling and less risk of scorching
01:27over time.
01:28$5.29, and you can buy them in a 5-pack if you're doing a whole house.
01:33Over $4,700 sold at 4.9 stars.
01:37Coming in at number 3 is another E14 to E27 adapter, but the appeal here is straight-up
01:43value.
01:44This one comes in packs ranging from a single piece all the way up to 10, and the full
01:48multi-pack starts at $374.
01:51So if you've got a chandelier with six or eight little sockets, or you're kitting out
01:55a rental property, this is the cheapest way to do it.
01:59Simple flame-retardant plastic build, works on both 110 and 220 volts, 4.8 stars with over
02:054,000 sold.
02:07Not fancy, just does the job for pocket change.
02:11Number 4 is my personal favorite, and it's a bit different, the flexible E27 to E27 extension
02:17adapter.
02:18Instead of changing the size, it changes the position.
02:22You screw it into your existing socket and it gives you this bendy gooseneck arm that
02:26you can aim wherever you want.
02:28Perfect for reading lights, plant grow lamps, or when your bulb sticks out of the shade at
02:33a stupid angle.
02:34It's also great when a fat LED bulb won't physically fit in a shallow fixture, this just
02:39gives you the clearance you need.
02:41490, 4.9 stars.
02:44And rounding out the list, the universal converter set.
02:48This is basically the Swiss army knife of the group E27 to E14, G9, E12, B22, G4, MR16,
02:56GU10, and a bunch of combinations going the other direction too.
03:00So whatever oddball fitting you're staring at, there's a piece here that'll bridge the
03:04gap.
03:05At $3.48, it's the cheapest on the list, and with a 4.9 rating from over 3,000 buyers,
03:12it's the one I'd keep in the toolbox just in case.
03:16Genuinely handy to have around.
03:18Alright, that's the top 5.
