Will an E12 fit E17?

This adapter will reduce the socket from your chandelier/fixtue from a intermediate (E17) size to the smaller Candelabra (E12) size socket. So you will be able to use a bulb that has a candelabra (E12) base in your fixture that has a intermediate (E17) socket.

Are E17 and E12 the same?

E12 is the smaller “candelabra” base. It’s used for nightlight bulbs, and sometimes for decorative light bulbs used in chandeliers and over bathroom mirrors. E17, “intermediate” base, is in between these two sizes. It’s sometimes used for desk lamps and appliance bulbs, but is not as common.

Are light socket adapters Safe?

As long as you don’t overload the fixture or the circuit, those socket adapters would be OK, especially for a temporary setup like Christmas lights.
