When you buy light bulbs for a home with C-type outlets, make sure they can handle the higher operating voltages – otherwise, you risk having them blow out or catch fire if used in such fixtures.

The Edison screw (ES) is a type of light bulb base that is universally used with electric light bulbs. Thomas Edison invented it and patented it in 1881.

This is to prevent dangerous light bulbs from being used in light fixtures that aren’t designed for them. E26 is the size of most light bulbs used in the U.S. It’s referred to as having a “medium” or “standard” base.

Like candelabra bulbs with E12 bases, bulbs with E17 bases are used for decorative applications, such as chandeliers, wall sconces, Christmas lights, restaurant pendant lights, ornamental lights, and sign or marquee lights. Bulbs with these bases are commonly used for appliance lights, such as microwave lights, refrigerator lights, and range hood lights. They’re also found in ceiling fan light fixtures. Intermediate Screw Base (E17) Bulbs are sometimes called Intermediate Edison Screw (IES), “E” stands for “Edison” and “17” indicates the diameter in millimeters as measured across the peaks of the thread on the base

In North America and continental Europe, Edison screws took the place of other types of bases for general lighting. They are commonly used for general lighting in standard light fixtures, such as ceiling lights, lamps, can lights, outdoor spotlight and flood light fixtures, and vanity lights. The three most often used bases in the United States of America for traditional lighting are the E12 (candelabra), the E26 (medium), and the E39 (mogul). Light Bulb Base Sizes Chart

Light bulb base sizes vary with the type of bulb and application. The base of a light bulb also contains information about the bulb type, and wattage, which may also indicate the maximum overall length of the bulb. As the name suggests, the fitting is 12 millimeters in diameter size and is often deemed the Candelabra Edison Screw (CES). It is the home of C7-sized lamps, so if you bought a C7 lamp before, it utilized the E12 fitting. The bi-pin base was invented by Reginald Fessenden for the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. [ citation needed] After Westinghouse won the contract to wire and illuminate the first electrified fair with AC instead of arch-rival Thomas Edison's DC, Edison and his General Electric company refused to allow his patented Edison screw-base bulbs to be used. Westinghouse overcame this by developing the bi-pin base for use at the fair. An incandescent electric lamp with a bi-pin base was patented by the Westinghouse (G. Westinghouse, Jr.) in 1895.
