In countries with a mains supply voltage of 100–120 volts (e.g., Canada, Taiwan, US), A19/A60 light bulbs usually come with an E26 type Edison screw base (i.e. 26 millimeters in diameter). In the UK, Ireland and many Commonwealth countries, they usually come with a B22 type bayonet cap
In areas following the U.S. National Electrical Code, general-use lamps over 300 W cannot use an E26 base and must instead use the E39 base. Medium Edison screw (MES) bulbs for 12 V are also produced for recreational vehicles. Large outdoor Christmas lights use Intermediate base, as do some desk lamps and many microwave ovens.
The "19" in "A19" refers to the width of the bulbous part of the bulb (i.e., 19 one-eighth-inch units, or 2 + 3 ⁄ 8 inches total) – although a particular A series bulb type also has a particular height and base type. The E26 or E27 refers only to what type of base it uses, and the number 26 or 27 refers to the width of the base in millimetres.
The light bulb commonly used since the early 20th century for general-purpose lighting applications, with a pear-like shape and an Edison screw base, is referred to as an "A-series light bulb." This most common general purpose bulb type would be classed as "A19/E26" or the metric version "A60/E27".
