In the past if you wanted to switch those E17 lights to energy saving compact fluorescents you were out of luck. CFL manufacturers do not make intermediate base CFLs

Well we tracked down an alternative. Please see links and information below.

Light Socket Adapters

You can also use a mini-base (E12) compact fluorescents light with your Intermediate Base sockets (E17). Simply screw on to the bottom of your mini-base bulb and your in ready to go.

Intermediate (E17) Base to Candelabra (E12) Base Reducer.

Intermediate to Candelabra Socket Reducer $2.57

We hope this helps.

If you find a E17 CFL/LED please add it in the comments section.
