E26 - 3-way - Light Bulbs - The Home Depot

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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 3

What are some popular brands of light bulbs?

Accepted Answer

Some popular brands known for high-quality light bulbs include Viribright, EcoSmart, and YANSUN.

Question 4

What are type A light bulbs, and why are they so common?

Accepted Answer

Type A light bulbs are the classic, pear-shaped bulbs you're most likely familiar with. They fit standard medium-base sockets and are widely used in lamps and fixtures throughout homes. Their popularity stems from their versatility, affordability, and compatibility with most everyday lighting setups, making them a reliable choice for general illumination.

Question 5

I'm looking for an outdoor security light for my garage. What should I consider?

Accepted Answer

Check out HID bulbs for high-intensity, far-reaching light or a good LED option for outdoor security lighting. Both can come in a variety of wattages and color temperatures. Consider using an accessory like a motion sensor for added security and energy savings.

Question 6

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.
