Question 1

What are type A light bulbs, and why are they so common?

Accepted Answer

Type A light bulbs are the classic, pear-shaped bulbs you're most likely familiar with. They fit standard medium-base sockets and are widely used in lamps and fixtures throughout homes. Their popularity stems from their versatility, affordability, and compatibility with most everyday lighting setups, making them a reliable choice for general illumination.

Question 2

I love the vintage look. Are Edison bulbs a good choice for general lighting?

Accepted Answer

Edison bulbs are fantastic for adding a warm, decorative touch to your home with their visible filament design and amber glow. Still, they're generally not the most efficient choice for primary lighting due to their lower lumen output. Consider using them in fixtures where the aesthetic is as important as the illumination.

Question 3

I'm replacing a bulb and see a lot of letters and numbers on the base. What do these light bulb base codes like E26, GU10, or G13 mean?

Accepted Answer

Light bulb base codes indicate the type of connector and the size of the bulb's base, ensuring it fits correctly into your fixture. The “E” denotes a standard screw-in Edison base, like the common E26. At the same time, “GU” usually signifies a bi-pin connector often found in track lighting and spotlights, and “G” is usually the most popular of the common bi-pin base types. Understanding these codes prevents buying the wrong bulb and ensures safe, reliable lighting.
