Question 1

What are some popular brands of light bulbs?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

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 3

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 4

What does "lumens" mean, and how does it relate to brightness?

Accepted Answer

"Lumens" measure how much light a bulb emits – the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb! To determine the right bulb for your needs, our Light Bulb Brightness guide will explain how to choose the appropriate number of lumens to light up a room.

Question 5

What are the key benefits of switching to LED light bulbs in my home?

Accepted Answer

LED light bulbs are incredibly energy-efficient, using up to 80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, translating to significant savings on electricity bills. They also have a much longer lifespan, meaning fewer replacements and less hassle.

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.
