The GU24 socket and base system is designed to replace the Edison socket and base in energy efficient lighting fixtures. The California Energy Commission prohibits adapters that would allow the use of screw-in bulbs on a GU24 base. This is to prevent people from using normal incandescent bulbs.

The GU24 base has two dual-diameter pins. The smaller portion has a diameter of 3.4mm (0.13") and the larger portion has a diameter of 5mm (0.2").
