Hi, all.
I was wondering if anyone knows where (if at all) I can find a converter that will fit into a candelabra-size socket. I want to be able to plug in outdoor lights without running a cord from inside my house. I've used these before, but my outside light at the time was a standard-size light socket. That's too big for my current outside light.
Thanks in advance.
Laurie

Do not consider this. Your solution, even with a standard size light socket, is not a good one. I don't even think you can find an adapter for other size sockets.
Those adapters are not designed for permanent use and are limited as to their wattage.
Install a receptacle where you need it.
