Can an E27 LED Light Bulb be safely used in an E26 fixture?

I read your article and it was very informative. In general, bulbs with an E27 designation are safe to use in E26 lamp holders, but E26 bulbs may pose an electrical safety hazard when used in E27 lamp holders and 240V AC. 

Quick question: I purchased these two bulbs (LED Light Bulb 3D 220V A60, LED String Light Bulb E27). From what I read, I think they should be safe to use in the USA. I just wanted to confirm that an E27 LED Decor Light Bulb can be safely used in the USA. 

​In general, as long as the voltage inputs are compatible, E27 lamps can be used in E26 fixtures without any significant concerns.

That being said, we, unfortunately, cannot provide any assurances regarding products purchased from third parties and would recommend reaching out to the manufacturers of your light bulb and lighting fixture for further guidance.
