Question 1

What are twist & lock and bayonet bases, and how are they different from screw-in bases?

Accepted Answer

Twist & lock bases, often seen in recessed lighting and some outdoor fixtures, don't screw in but instead lock into place by inserting and turning. bayonet bases, recognized by their cylindrical shape and side pins, are commonly used in older fixtures and some specialty appliances. They don't use the traditional threaded screw-in design, so check the fixture before purchase.

Question 2

What's the difference between "Daylight" and "Soft White" bulbs?

Accepted Answer

"Daylight" bulbs offer a crisp, energizing, blue-toned light that's perfect for task lighting in areas like kitchens or offices, while "Soft White" provides a warm, cozy, yellow-toned light ideal for relaxing spaces like living rooms and bedrooms.

Question 3

I have a floor lamp that needs a new bulb. It uses one of those long bulbs. Are there different types, and what are they best suited for?

Accepted Answer

For floor lamps, you might find tubular or linear bulbs, known for their elongated shape and ability to provide a spread-out light. Tubular bulbs tend to be used more for decorative fixtures, while linear bulbs provide light for larger areas. Always check the base type and wattage to ensure compatibility with your lamp.

Question 4

What are some popular brands of light bulbs?

Accepted Answer

Some popular brands known for high-quality light bulbs include Feit Electric, HALCO LIGHTING TECHNOLOGIES, and LUXRITE.

Question 5

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 6

What's the difference between BR and PAR bulbs, like a BR30 versus a PAR38?

Accepted Answer

BR bulbs are bulged reflector bulbs that produce a wider, more diffused pool of light. They are ideal for general room lighting and are often used in recessed cans. PAR bulbs, or parabolic aluminized reflector bulbs, create a more focused, intense beam of light, making them great for spotlights, task lighting, and outdoor applications.
