Question 1

I want a light that can change from warm to cool throughout the day. Is that possible?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can achieve this with color changing or adjustable white light bulbs. These bulbs allow you to customize the color temperature, ranging from warm tones to cooler, brighter ones, letting you adjust the lighting to fit your mood or activity.

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 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 4

What's the difference between a medium (E26) and candelabra (E12) screw base, and which one do I need?

Accepted Answer

Medium (E26) base bulbs are the most common size for household lamps and fixtures, while candelabra (E12) bases are smaller and typically used in chandeliers, decorative fixtures, and nightlights. To choose the right one, look at the base of your old bulb or the fixture socket – if it's larger and standard-sized, you need an E26, while smaller ones are E12.

Question 5

I'm looking for a tubular bulb for my fixture, and I see "T8," "T5," and "T12" listed. What do these "T" numbers mean, and how do they differ?

Accepted Answer

The "T" in these codes indicates a tubular shape, often used for fluorescent or LED tubes, and the number represents the tube diameter in eighths of an inch; thus, a T8 bulb is 1 inch in diameter, while a T5 bulb is 5/8 of an inch, and a T12 is 12/8 of an inch (or 1.5 inches), with the smaller diameter often correlating to newer, more energy-efficient models. Choose the correct number that matches the socket in your fixture.

Question 6

I need bright, clear lighting for my kitchen workspace. What color is best for this?

Accepted Answer

White light bulbs are ideal for maximizing visibility and focus in your kitchen. These provide a clean, crisp light that resembles daylight, essential for cooking, preparing meals, and making your colors pop.
