Leviton 8681 Mogul-to-Medium Base Incandescent Socket Adapter, 250V White

The Leviton 8681 is a 1-piece incandescent socket adapter that converts a mogul base lampholder to a standard medium base, letting you install common medium-base incandescent lamps into mogul-base fixtures. Rated 250-Volt and finished in white, this adapter is built for straightforward, tool-minimal installation wherever a base-size mismatch needs to be bridged in a lighting fixture. Its 1-piece design provides a simple, secure connection point between the existing mogul socket and the medium-base lamp being installed, making it a practical fix for electricians and facility maintenance teams working with mixed lamp-base hardware.

Key Features

  • Base Conversion: Mogul-to-medium base adapter allows standard medium-base incandescent lamps to be used in mogul-base sockets without rewiring the fixture.
  • 1-Piece Construction: Single-piece adapter body threads directly onto the mogul socket for a simple, secure fit between socket and lamp.
  • Voltage Rating: Rated 250-Volt, suitable for incandescent lamp applications up to that rating.
  • Lamp Type: Designed specifically for incandescent lamps with a medium (standard) screw base.
  • Finish: White finish provides a clean, unobtrusive appearance that blends into most fixture housings.
  • Model: Leviton 8681 socket adapter, a recognized model for mogul-to-medium base conversion.

Leviton LEV-8681 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to replace a mogul base fixture just to use medium base lamps?
Not if the fixture itself is sound. The Leviton 8681 adapter bridges the base mismatch in place, which is the cheaper route for facility maintenance crews standardizing on medium base lamps across a building. You only need a new fixture if the mogul lampholder or wiring is damaged, since the adapter screws into the existing socket and relies on it for the connection.
2) What voltage is the Leviton 8681 socket adapter rated for?
250 volts. That covers standard 120V and 277V line-voltage incandescent lighting circuits you would find in commercial and industrial fixtures, so the adapter is not the limiting factor on a normal building circuit.
3) Can I use the 8681 mogul-to-medium adapter with an LED or CFL retrofit lamp?
The 8681 is specified for incandescent lamps with a medium screw base. That is the application Leviton rates it for, so treat it as an incandescent adapter rather than a general LED retrofit part.
4) Is the Leviton 8681 a one-piece adapter or does it come apart?
One piece. The body threads directly onto the mogul socket and accepts the medium base lamp, so there are no separate shells or screw rings to lose on a ladder.
5) What is the Leviton part number for a mogul to medium socket adapter?
Model and manufacturer part number 8681, from Leviton's wiring devices line. That is the number to quote when ordering mogul-to-medium incandescent socket adapters in volume.
6) What color is the Leviton 8681 adapter, and will it show inside the fixture?
It is white. In most enclosed or reflector-type mogul fixtures the adapter sits down in the socket housing and the lamp covers it, so the white body stays unobtrusive.
