Question 1

I have some old fluorescent tubes. What does the "G13" or "G23" base mean, and can I replace them with LED equivalents?

Accepted Answer

The “G” followed by a number such as "13" or "23" indicates a bi-pin connector specifically designed for fluorescent tubes. These include types that require different mounting types in some fixtures. Often, you can find LED equivalents designed with the same base type and mounting styles for easy replacements. Ensure the voltage and physical size match so your new bulb works safely.

Question 2

I'm looking to brighten up my kitchen island. What are some popular shape options, and what are they good for?

Accepted Answer

Globe bulbs offer a wide, even light distribution for kitchen islands, perfect for general illumination. In contrast, reflector bulbs can direct light downwards, which is ideal for highlighting specific areas like countertops. Consider the overall aesthetic of your space when making your choice.

Question 3

How do I choose the right bulb color?

Accepted Answer

Choosing the right bulb color depends on the mood you want to create. We offer options like red, black, and white.

Question 4

I'm planning a party. Is it safe to use colored light bulbs in regular fixtures, or are there specific concerns?

Accepted Answer

Colored light bulbs are safe in standard light fixtures, adding a fun and festive atmosphere to any event. Just match the bulb base type and wattage to your fixtures.

Question 5

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.
