ED37 - Light Bulbs - The Home Depot

Question 1

What's the best way to save energy and get bright light in my kitchen?

Accepted Answer

Consider switching to LED bulbs. They use significantly less energy than older incandescent or halogen bulbs and offer various color temperatures, allowing you to customize the light's ambiance in your space. Plus, they last for years, saving energy costs and replacement hassle.

Question 2

What are bi-pin and 4-pin bases, and what are they used for?

Accepted Answer

Bi-pin bases, including the miniature and medium bi-pin, have two small pins that push into a socket commonly used for halogen or some LED bulbs in undercabinet lighting or desk lamps. 4-pin bases, with their four pins, are often found in fluorescent and compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs; they are designed for fixtures requiring a more secure connection and may need specific ballast compatibility.

Question 3

I want to upgrade to LED bulbs, but I'm unsure if the base will fit. What common base types might I encounter, and what should I consider?

Accepted Answer

Common bases for LED upgrades include the screw-in E26 (standard medium base), smaller E12 (candelabra), and bi-pin bases like GU10 or G4. When upgrading, always match your existing base code; however, some LEDs, such as the E26, are offered in other base types, such as the GU10, for use in many common fixtures. Be sure to double-check to ensure you select the correct base.

Question 4

Which features should I look for when purchasing light bulbs?

Accepted Answer

There are many different features that will elevate your lighting, including enclosed fixture rated, and energy saving.
