Question 1

I'm replacing a fixture in my dining room, and the old bulb was a funny shape. What's the difference between a candle and a bent-tip candle shape, and when would I use them?

Accepted Answer

Candle bulbs, with their classic flame-like shape, add a touch of elegance to chandeliers and decorative fixtures; the bent-tip candle variation enhances this by offering a more ornate and softer lighting effect. Both types are great for creating a warm, inviting ambiance in your dining or living room.

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

What color temperature provides a bright, energizing home office or kitchen light?

Accepted Answer

Opt for Daylight" or "bright white color temperatures when you need crisp and vibrant light. These bulbs provide a cool, bluish-white light that mimics natural daylight, improving focus and visibility, making them ideal for task-oriented areas. You might also see daylight deluxe, which offers a similar, high-quality, bright white light experience.

Question 4

What are some popular brands of light bulbs?

Accepted Answer

Some popular brands known for high-quality light bulbs include LEDone, and Sunlite.

Question 5

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.
