Hello,
I purchased this lamp in Europe and wanted to purchase a bulb converter. What bulb size would this be? I read online it can be an e5 or e14. Need it to fit a US size e12.

Maybe you can replace the socket completely? I would try. I have zero idea about a conversion socket or even if one exists.
Take the European socket off and take it with you to the store. Maybe its easy?

If bulb size means watts, i see conversions on line from e14 to e12 rated to 75 watts.

Would this work...I used this to convert regular size bulbs to chandelier bulbs.

I don’t know if this is what you mean. I thought I’d give it a shot.

Right idea but wrong size,

I'm assuming from the pic that his is the E14 socket (european candelabra base) and he needs the E12 ( (American candelabra).

This adapter.

I read online it can be an e5 or e14.

E means its a screw in bulb (Edison knuckle thread).

The number is the nominal diameter in millimeters. E5 would be about 3/16" diameter, which is tiny. E14 would be 14mm diameter, about 9/16" diameter -- so if your E12 bulbs kinda screw in but are extremely loose -- then its an E14.

Some have the means to measure the mm's, so can we assume the measurement is the major diameter of the male thread? thanks

Correct, the 12 or 14mm would be the diameter of the male bulb thread.

If your measurements are very precise, you will see it is perhaps 0.5mm smaller than nominal size (i.e. a E14 bulb will actually have about a 13.5mm base.)

I think that is wrong direction dmx. That seems to let you use an E14 bulb in an E12 socket. OP wants to use an E12 bulb.
