Been looking at buying some cheapie adapters like these E27 to B22. Should I be concerned about the safety of using these? Was planning on using them with the LIFX's I have sitting on my desk doing nothing.
Thoughts on safety of light fitting adapters?

I'd imagine that would invalidate any insurance policies you happen to have.
Could be wrong.
I have a few and haven't had any problems. Do you have an Ikea nearby? They sell them if you want to get them from a local store.
Are your adapters definitely E27 to B22? The only Ikea ones online are B22 to E27 which is the opposite of what the OP is asking for.
They do look a lot safer than the ones on eBay because they have plastic shrouding covering the metal components of the bulb.
Ahhh, my mistake. My adapters are B22 to E27.
Should be fine I think unless you are changing the adaptor/bulb frequently.
I have read some bad reports on them because the wiring is exposed, and you can risk and electric chock if you touch the adapter in the wrong way.
