Question 1

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 2

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 3

What are some popular brands of green incandescent light bulbs?

Accepted Answer

Some popular brands known for high-quality green incandescent light bulbs include YANSUN, Bulbrite, and Feit Electric.

Question 4

Are type A EcoSmart bulbs available, and what are their benefits?

Accepted Answer

Yes, type A EcoSmart light bulbs offer the perfect combination of the traditional bulb shape with energy-saving LED technology. You get the familiar look and feel of a standard Type A bulb but with the benefits of reduced energy usage, extended lifespan, and lower long-term costs.

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.
