Five checks decide the fit
A shared base or wattage alone is not enough. Work down the list with the old bulb and fixture label in hand.
- 01
Socket
Match E26 exactly. The A19 code describes the bulb envelope, not the socket. Open the E26 base guide.
- 02
Electrical rating
Voltage is not stated in this snapshot. Read it from the lamp or official record before substituting.
- 03
Brightness, not “watts”
Target about 800 lumens. The 8.5 W figure is input power, not brightness.
- 04
Physical clearance
Confirm that the A19 envelope fits the shade or cover; this snapshot does not provide complete dimensions.
- 05
Heat, controls, and location
The source does not approve totally enclosed fixtures; dimming is not stated; a wet/damp rating is not stated.

Questions about 73888
What socket does SYLVANIA 73888 use?
The official record identifies a E26 base. The replacement socket must use the same base code; a similar-looking bulb shape does not establish socket compatibility.
Is SYLVANIA 73888 dimmable?
The source snapshot does not state a dimming rating. Treat dimmer compatibility as unconfirmed.
Can SYLVANIA 73888 be used in an enclosed fixture?
The official record does not approve this model for a totally enclosed fixture.
