What does "lumens" mean, and how does it relate to brightness?

"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 <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/c/ab/light-bulb-brightness/9ba683603be9fa5395fab9014959566a?emt=plpfaq_2504_lightbulbs" style="text-decoration: underline;">Light Bulb Brightness guide</a> will explain how to choose the appropriate number of lumens to light up a room.

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

<a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Lighting-Light-Bulbs-Flood-and-Spot-Light-Bulbs/N-5yc1vZ2fkpcw3?catStyle=ShowProducts?emt=plpfaq_2504_lightbulbs" style="text-decoration: underline;">Flood light bulbs</a> 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.

I'm looking for energy-efficient options. What are the benefits of using EcoSmart light bulbs?

<a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Lighting-Light-Bulbs/EcoSmart/N-5yc1vZbmbuZ4b8?emt=plpfaq_2504_lightbulbs" style="text-decoration: underline;">EcoSmart light bulbs</a> are designed to save energy and reduce your electricity bill, often using LED technology, while producing the same brightness as traditional incandescent bulbs. Beyond lower energy consumption, EcoSmart bulbs have a longer lifespan, meaning fewer replacements and less hassle for homeowners.
