1000 Watt - Light Bulbs - The Home Depot

Question 1

What are dusk to dawn light bulbs, and where would they be most useful for my home?

Accepted Answer

Dusk to dawn bulbs have a built-in sensor that automatically turns the light on at dusk and off at dawn, providing convenience and enhanced security. These are ideal for outdoor fixtures like porch lights or landscape lighting, ensuring you always have light when needed without worrying about flipping a switch.

Question 2

I'm looking for a tubular bulb for my fixture, and I see "T8," "T5," and "T12" listed. What do these "T" numbers mean, and how do they differ?

Accepted Answer

The "T" in these codes indicates a tubular shape, often used for fluorescent or LED tubes, and the number represents the tube diameter in eighths of an inch; thus, a T8 bulb is 1 inch in diameter, while a T5 bulb is 5/8 of an inch, and a T12 is 12/8 of an inch (or 1.5 inches), with the smaller diameter often correlating to newer, more energy-efficient models. Choose the correct number that matches the socket in your fixture.

Question 3

What are some popular brands of light bulbs?

Accepted Answer

Some popular brands known for high-quality light bulbs include Feit Electric, INTERLIGHT, and Pinegreen Lighting.
