What Is an E12 Bulb?




   Light bulbs come in a selection of shapes and sizes and also wattage amounts. Light bulbs may
be categorized by the shape with their bases (negligence the bulb that screws into a light socket),
as well as the letter E before a number indicates the bulb's base type. E12 designates a particular
form of light bulb base suitable for specific varieties of lighting.




   In accordance with Harrington Lights, there are 7 forms of light bulb bases: E10, E11, E12,
E14, E17, E26 and E39. Each base size fits a specific light socket or type of lighting fixture. E12
light bulbs are generally known as candelabra light bulbs.




Size
The size of an E12 bulb's base is 12 mm in diameter and, consequently, will only fit light sockets
which might be precisely the same diameter. The bulb itself is a short bulb less than 2 inches in
height. The bulb is identifiable by its shape, bulging out slightly in the center before getting more
narrow near the top of the bulb

Uses

E12 light bulbs are generally in combination with hanging chandeliers and small night lights. They
can be used in electric candles which are put in a house's windows in the evening. They may be
used in any lighting appliance which has a 12 mm socket.




Features

This kind of light bulb can be an incandescent light bulb. This sort of light bulb contains a small
tungsten-based wire inside the center that, when heated by electrical current, will produce light.
The glass of the bulb itself prevents oxygen from entering the bulb structure, which may
counteract the heating with the tungsten wire. The heating effect requires an oxygen-free
environment to make the glowing light.




Warning

The E12 bulb can go with a socket that is certainly 1 1/2 inches in diameter. The bulb will not
likely function in smaller or larger bases; forcing the bulb in position can cause problems for the
bulb and light or cause injury or fire. Bulbs could also become hot to the touch rapidly, so it's
crucial that you allow the bulb to chill down before touching or replacing a light bulb.
