Electrical – the standard 120V light bulb screw base in the US

bulbelectricallighting

I know that standard incandescent bulbs in the US use Edison screw bases, but I'm not sure which designation / number is the one which is used for prolific non-candelabra 120 volt fixtures.

Best Answer

The US 120 volt screw base is an E26. The 'E' indicates an Edison screw base and 26 is the diameter in millimeters.

In 120-volt North America and 100-volt Japan, the standard size for general-purpose lamps is E26
