Before replacing it

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.

  1. 01

    Socket

    Match E26 exactly. The PS30 code describes the bulb envelope, not the socket. Open the E26 base guide.

  2. 02

    Electrical rating

    The source lists 120 V. Confirm that against the fixture and local supply.

  3. 03

    Brightness, not “watts”

    Target about 5,870 lumens. The 300 W figure is input power, not brightness.

  4. 04

    Physical clearance

    The official maximum overall length is 8 inches. Check shade, cover, and neck clearance.

  5. 05

    Heat, controls, and location

    Enclosed-fixture use is not stated; it is marked dimmable; a wet/damp rating is not stated.

Quick answers

Questions about 0397400

What socket does Westinghouse 0397400 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 Westinghouse 0397400 dimmable?

Yes. The official record marks this model as dimmable, but the installed dimmer must also support the lamp technology and load.

Can Westinghouse 0397400 be used in an enclosed fixture?

The source snapshot does not state an enclosed-fixture rating. Do not infer one from shape or wattage; confirm on the bulb or manufacturer page.
