Yes, an E26 bulb can fit into an E27 socket. The difference between E26 and E27 refers to the diameter of the screw base:
- E26 has a 26 mm diameter.
- E27 has a 27 mm diameter.
Since they are very close in size, E26 bulbs can usually fit into E27 sockets and vice versa. However, it's important to check the voltage requirements, especially in international settings, as E26 is more common in North America (120V) and E27 in Europe (230V). The physical fit is fine, but always ensure compatibility with your electrical system.
