[quote=plm]Yes, the bulb I broke looks just like the one in the picture. Probably too much work for me to change the socket. If I decide to do this, is the light output the same such so its not noticeable? Otherwise I will have to do all of the lights in the kitchen at the same time.
More likely I’ll just buy the light bulb that ucodegen provided.
How many piggs does it take to change a light bulb?
Thanks[/quote]I don’t know how many piggs it takes to change a lightbulb. I know that I can do it myself (as well as rewiring sockets). I also have tools to do those ceiling bulbs on vaulted/high ceilings – without need for ladder. (we might have to take a statistical average here and calc variance)
Changing the socket on the plug-in CFs is not as simple as it might seem. The plug-in CFs have an external ballast, while the E26 are internal/self contained ballasts.
Light output will probably be diff between the square plug-in vs the E26. Keep an eye on the wattage for the plug-in, number and style of elements and color temperature. Does the bulb look exactly like it or slightly diff? Do you have a pict of the bulb and base?
