    I don't know anything about electricity, let alone what these adapters really do. I plan on buying a 125w CFL (NOT 125w equivalent, the bulb actually uses 125w) from amazon and it has a mogul base socket. My roommate has a couple medium to mogul socket enlargers but I don't know how safe it is. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I'd rather not start a fire if I don't have to. Should I just order a socket too or do you think I'll be fine using the socket enlarger?
     
    Thanks in advance.

     
  2. If in doubt order the socket too.
     
  3. Well the socket is $20, seems a bit steep for just a 125w light bulb considering the bulb itself is $30 too. If I can save that $20 that would be optimal!
     
  4. I know this is a old thred but yes i used one there just fine
