Question 1

What's the difference between BR and PAR bulbs, like a BR30 versus a PAR38?

Accepted Answer

BR bulbs are bulged reflector bulbs that produce a wider, more diffused pool of light. They are ideal for general room lighting and are often used in recessed cans. PAR bulbs, or parabolic aluminized reflector bulbs, create a more focused, intense beam of light, making them great for spotlights, task lighting, and outdoor applications.

Question 2

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 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

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 5

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 6
