The first letter designates the shape or form of the base, and the number represents the width of the base (normally in millimeters). For example, our 11S14 bulb has an E26 base — the “E” refers to the style which is an Edison screw-in, and the 26 means it has a 26 mm base width.

These two standards are interchangeable, meaning a US E26 will fit in a European E27 base, and E27 will fit in a E26 base. The only difference is the voltage (for light bulbs). In fact there is only 1 mm difference between the threads of E26 and E27, so they are virtually identical.

What is the difference between E26, E27 and A19?

E26 refers to the lamp base, and does not provide us with any information about the shape of the bulb. An E26 screw-in bulb has a 26 millimeter diameter screw as its mounting method, but the lamp itself can be of a variety of shapes and sizes. All A19 lamps have an E26 base, but not the other way around. The standards that govern the dimensions and design of A19 light bulbs also dictate that it must use an E26 screw base.
