Question 1

When should I choose flood or spotlight bulbs, and what's the difference?

Accepted Answer

Flood light bulbs produce a wide beam, ideal for illuminating large areas like patios or driveways. In contrast, spotlight bulbs focus their beam more narrowly, making them perfect for highlighting artwork or architectural features, giving you options for different needs and purposes. Both can be used indoors or outdoors, depending on the fixture.

Question 2

I'm replacing a bulb and see a lot of letters and numbers on the base. What do these light bulb base codes like E26, GU10, or G13 mean?

Accepted Answer

Light bulb base codes indicate the type of connector and the size of the bulb's base, ensuring it fits correctly into your fixture. The “E” denotes a standard screw-in Edison base, like the common E26. At the same time, “GU” usually signifies a bi-pin connector often found in track lighting and spotlights, and “G” is usually the most popular of the common bi-pin base types. Understanding these codes prevents buying the wrong bulb and ensures safe, reliable lighting.

Question 3

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 4

I'm looking to brighten up my kitchen island. What are some popular shape options, and what are they good for?

Accepted Answer

Globe bulbs offer a wide, even light distribution for kitchen islands, perfect for general illumination. In contrast, reflector bulbs can direct light downwards, which is ideal for highlighting specific areas like countertops. Consider the overall aesthetic of your space when making your choice.
