I wanted a mogul base CFD and this is the only offering I found. However... Like many CFDs, the electronics enclosure immediately above the screw base is substantially larger in diameter than the shank of the equivalent incandescent bulb and won't fit in the fixture that it was to go into. This is an antique lamp and so I'm approaching raising the socket in the fixture with a great deal of care.

Upon tightening the TCP00851 light bulb into its socket the metal Mogul base separated from the body of the bulb. I would never buy another bulb of this brand again.

The product was fine, but my socket was too narrow. Users need to understand that the diameter of the bulb expands quickly directly above the base itself. That creates a problem with an antique fixture which was designed for longer, more slender bulb stem. In other words, the ceramic jacket directly above the actual threaded base prevented the male threaded base from being seated into the female threaded part of the socket. So I will have to use a Mogul to medium base converter and switch to a medium base bulb. The company's customer service was helpful and quickly authorized a return for me. They also carry the base converters.

I think this is a fine item, however, the neck is not long enough to fit in my old lamp.

in order for me to be able to use this bulb 1st and formost, it needs to be a 3 way bulb. I don't know of any single way mogul base lamps for the home use. the alternative, is if you can fit it in the socket and housing, use an adapter mogul to med base socket.
