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

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 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.
