I want to upgrade to LED bulbs, but I'm unsure if the base will fit. What common base types might I encounter, and what should I consider?

Common bases for LED upgrades include the screw-in <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Lighting-Light-Bulbs/E26/N-5yc1vZbmbuZ1z0tp3j?emt=plpfaq_2504_lightbulbs" style="text-decoration: underline;">E26</a> (standard medium base), smaller <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Lighting-Light-Bulbs/E12/N-5yc1vZbmbuZ1z0tp3i?emt=plpfaq_2504_lightbulbs" style="text-decoration: underline;">E12</a> (candelabra), and bi-pin bases like <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Lighting-Light-Bulbs/GU10/N-5yc1vZbmbuZ1z0x2dl?emt=plpfaq_2504_lightbulbs" style="text-decoration: underline;">GU10</a> or <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Lighting-Light-Bulbs/G4/N-5yc1vZbmbuZ1z0tlpo?emt=plpfaq_2504_lightbulbs" style="text-decoration: underline;">G4</a>. When upgrading, always match your existing base code; however, some LEDs, such as the E26, are offered in other base types, such as the GU10, for use in many common fixtures. Be sure to double-check to ensure you select the correct base.

What's the difference between a medium (E26) and candelabra (E12) screw base, and which one do I need?

<a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Lighting-Light-Bulbs/Medium/N-5yc1vZbmbuZ1z0toql?emt=plpfaq_2504_lightbulbs" style="text-decoration: underline;">Medium (E26) base bulbs</a> are the most common size for household lamps and fixtures, while <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Lighting-Light-Bulbs/Candelabra/N-5yc1vZbmbuZ1z0toah?emt=plpfaq_2504_lightbulbs" style="text-decoration: underline;">candelabra (E12) bases</a> are smaller and typically used in chandeliers, decorative fixtures, and nightlights. To choose the right one, look at the base of your old bulb or the fixture socket – if it's larger and standard-sized, you need an E26, while smaller ones are E12.
