Named after the pioneering inventor Thomas Edison, the Edison Screw or "ES" lamp fitting is used worldwide in a vast range of applications.
The most popular ES or E27 fitting is 27mm diameter and is widely used in both the US and Europe. The SES is often used for smaller decorative fittings, chandeliers, and appliance bulbs - predominantly in the UK and Europe. CES is most frequently used in the US and Canada, especially for candle bulbs. The MES fitting is sometimes used in large chandeliers containing perhaps dozens of small lamps.
The GES is rarely used in domestic applications and is typically for lamps over 500W. This must not be confused with the extremely similar US standard 39mm diameter E39 or Mogul Screw fitting
The most commonly used screw fittings are shown in the table below. Other, less frequently used, sizes include E11, E17 and E26.
