Mogul to medium base adapter converter. Works 3-way

Product Review (submitted on November 3, 2024):

Because of generally poor seasonal weather conditions, and the Canada Post strike which slowed mail delivery, even for private package delivery companies, I finally received your shipment yesterday, 5 Dec. 2024, via UPS.

I have an old barley twist floor lamp that has a mogul socket for a 3-way bulb. Incandescent lamps for that socket size are increasingly difficult to find, and become very hot in use, so I purchased a 3-way LED bulb with a standard medium base and a socket adapter from a local hardware store. Unfortunately, the lamp's 3-way switch would only give me one light intensity, despite assurances from a store representative that the adapter should work with the 3-way switch. I was disappointed with the the adapter and returned it to the store.

I then did further searching online and found your mogul socket adapter that purported to work with a 3-way switch. I called LEDRadiant and spoke with Eddy (a very pleasant fellow), ultimately ordering your socket adapter. Because of our postal strike here in Canada, the shipping cost was many times the cost of the device, but I was determined to try it.

As soon as I received it yesterday, I screwed it onto my 3-way LED bulb (which I had NOT returned to the store), screwed the combination into my floor lamp, tried the lamp's 3-way switch, and voilà...it worked! The adapter is an elegant simple design with no electronic parts. Essentially, it is a threaded copper double sleeve (doubled back on itself), open at one end. The inner sleeve screws onto the bulb, and the outer part of the sleeve screws into the mogul socket. I am VERY happy with how this simple elegant device solved my problem of changing my floor lamp to LED. This product should be more available in Canada!
