I need an adapter that adapts an E11 (mini candelabra) BULB to an E12
(candelabra) socket.

All I seem to find are bass-ackwards.

Does such a thing exist?

The above is just exactly the OPPOSITE of what I need. It says,
"Allows for the use of candelabra base bulbs in mini candelabra E11
socket fixtures. Simply screw the socket adapter into your current E11
type mini candelabra base socket and you are ready to use an E12
candelabra base bulb."

I need to use a mini (E11) candelabra bulb in an E12 fixture.

Your other links are just like I already found :-(

Thanks for trying!

Replace the sockets, or buy E12 based bulbs. Plenty of E12 bulbs on
Ebay.

My reading is not an issue, your understanding of the question is..

The question was " Does such a think exist", and yes, it does and it
was shown..

Don't go out swinging until you know what you're swinging at, it may
swing back and the repercussions may not be enjoyable.

Yep. Even the vendors, when called, interpret the need incorrectly.
Looks like I just need to re-wire :-(

I saw the sockets for about $7 each on one lamp supply website, but I
don't remember where.

Probably not, there's only 1mm diameter difference and the threads are
different. Wrap some tinfoil around the screw and jam it in. We won't tell.

Yes, and if you scrolled down like I said, the chart was there for the
other ones..

Nice you could join this village idiot, as you say..

You haven't been winning too many prizes yourself lately.

And for the record, Flipper is an asshole because I pointed
to exactly what was asked and also indicate what to look for
down the page for other options.

The chop kiddy can play editing games all he wishes, it only works to
support my case of him/them coming up short in their defense, because
they made an utter fool of themselves. Good to see you could join in
as usual.

Do as you wish, it appears mental stability is starting to
show signs of instability on your side, regression.

So, I guess well have to call Maynard 'Never Right' from now on? We
can't have two 'Always Wrongs', it would confuse the trolls.

No thanks. You go ahead and command that post, dipshit.
It only requires a crew of one. You are it.

See? Now even *this* Jamie retard thinks that other retards' put downs
count as "losing a prize".

You are not even qualified in your endeavors in life. What makes you
think anyone would put any credence in your pathetic observations about
others? You are projecting, dumb ass.
