dude, i thought we already talked about how Lowes and Home Depot don't have them.

at least that's what the sales clerks say. (i often find stuff myself after they said they don't have something)

you have to go to an electrical contractor supply place.

look up Hughes Electric in the phone book, i think it's a chain, but don't know about in your state.

you don't need an E39 socket, an E39 bulb will fit an E40 (standard screw mogul socket) that you should be able to find at your local electrical contractor supply.

Yes, it will fit, but the standard socket will not be rated for the HV ignition pulse. This may cause no problems initially, but may later result in 'tracking' across the insulator - a shock and fire hazard!

v1d9uy · 6th January 2006, 04:12 PM

hmm well that could be a problem .. shock and fire !!!

snortonnorton · 6th January 2006, 05:14 PM

really?

i thought the only difference is depth of the screw in base.....

the box says my socket is rated for up to 1500W-600 Volts and AC/CA

whatever that means.

i'm going to keep a fire extinquisher ready at all times anyways since i saw how face MDF burns when the bulb touches it... .

plus i'll leave it unplugged when not in use.

the slight difference in the screw in size is probably because the ushio's are made in germany.

most the other lamps that people use in the U.S. are made in the U.S. so they fit the E40.

but i'm just guessing as i'm new to all this.
