Medium - PAR30 - Light Bulbs - The Home Depot

Question 1

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 2

What are some of the best-selling par30 light bulbs?

Accepted Answer

One of our best-selling par30 light bulbs is the Universal Select 75/90/120-Watt Equivalent PAR30 Dimmable Adjustable Beam Angle LED Light Bulb with 6-CCT (2-Pack).

Question 3

When should I choose flood or spotlight bulbs, and what's the difference?

Accepted Answer

Flood light bulbs produce a wide beam, ideal for illuminating large areas like patios or driveways. In contrast, spotlight bulbs focus their beam more narrowly, making them perfect for highlighting artwork or architectural features, giving you options for different needs and purposes. Both can be used indoors or outdoors, depending on the fixture.

Question 4

I use Google Assistant and have an Android phone. Which smart light bulbs work best with my existing ecosystem?

Accepted Answer

Look for smart bulbs labeled "Works with Google Assistant" or "Compatible with Google Home." These bulbs can be controlled directly via voice commands and the Google Home app, and some brands, like Google's Hubspace line, are designed to integrate especially well with Google's ecosystem.

Question 5

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 6

What does the enclosed fixture rate mean for my light bulbs, and why is it important?

Accepted Answer

Enclosed fixture rated light bulbs are designed to handle the heat buildup inside enclosed fixtures, preventing premature failure and ensuring safe operation. This is crucial for fixtures like globes or recessed lighting where airflow is limited, allowing you to choose the correct bulb for your light.
