Daylight (5000K) - Incandescent - Light Bulbs - The Home Depot

Question 1

I want to upgrade to LED bulbs, but I'm unsure if the base will fit. What common base types might I encounter, and what should I consider?

Accepted Answer

Common bases for LED upgrades include the screw-in E26 (standard medium base), smaller E12 (candelabra), and bi-pin bases like GU10 or G4. When upgrading, always match your existing base code; however, some LEDs, such as the E26, are offered in other base types, such as the GU10, for use in many common fixtures. Be sure to double-check to ensure you select the correct base.

Question 2

What's the difference between a medium (E26) and candelabra (E12) screw base, and which one do I need?

Accepted Answer

Medium (E26) base bulbs are the most common size for household lamps and fixtures, while candelabra (E12) bases are smaller and typically used in chandeliers, decorative fixtures, and nightlights. To choose the right one, look at the base of your old bulb or the fixture socket – if it's larger and standard-sized, you need an E26, while smaller ones are E12.

Question 3

For bulbs labeled A19, A15, and A21, what does the "A" mean, and how do those numbers relate to the bulb?

Accepted Answer

The "A" refers to the traditional, pear-shaped bulb, a common style for homes. The number indicates the bulb's diameter at its widest point, in eighths of an inch, so an A19 bulb is 19/8 inches wide, an A21 is slightly larger at 21/8 inches, and an A15 is smaller at 15/8. Knowing this helps when choosing the right size for your fixtures and the light needed.
