Know your lamp needs a Euro Fitter but not sure which size?
Euro fitters are available in three sizes. The standard size has an interior diameter of 1 9/16" and this size is the most common.
- Small Euro Fitter - 1 3/8"
- Standard Euro Fitter - 1 9/16"
- Large Euro Fitter - 1 5/8"
Did you notice that there is only 1/16" difference between the standard and large sizes? This can make it difficult to know if you are choosing the right size. Here's a little trick that will help.
Put a piece of scotch tape around the threads on your lamp that your euro fitter will slide over. This will make the measuring easier.
Next, take a piece of string and measure around the tape. If the circumference is around 4.32", you need a Small Euro Fitter. If the circumference is around 4.9", you need a Standard Euro Fitter, and if the circumference is around 5.10" you need a large Euro Fitter.
When in doubt, scale up, you can always add a washer underneath the Euro Fitter to stabilize it on the lamp.
If your measurement has a circumference closer to 3.9" and is even smaller than the Small Euro Fitter, you may need an uno fitter. Interested in more information about the differences between an uno fitter and a euro fitter? Check out this blog post.
