Accepted Answer

Question 3

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 4

I love the vintage look. Are Edison bulbs a good choice for general lighting?

Accepted Answer

Edison bulbs are fantastic for adding a warm, decorative touch to your home with their visible filament design and amber glow. Still, they're generally not the most efficient choice for primary lighting due to their lower lumen output. Consider using them in fixtures where the aesthetic is as important as the illumination.

Question 5

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 6

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.
