PAR38

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

Which par38 light bulbs are the top rated?

Accepted Answer

The 100W Equivalent Green PAR38 LED Weatherproof Flood Light Bulb (6-Pack) is one of our top-rated par38 light bulbs.

Question 3

I have an older fixture in my dining room. What type of bulb is best to replace the traditional incandescent?

Accepted Answer

While traditional incandescent bulbs provide a warm light, LED or even halogen options are great for energy-efficient replacements; be sure to check the base type and wattage for compatibility with your existing fixture. These replacements will also last significantly longer.

Question 4

Which color temperature should I choose for a cozy, relaxing living room atmosphere?

Accepted Answer

For a warm and inviting atmosphere, choose light bulbs with a Soft white or warm white color temperature. These bulbs emit a yellowish light, like traditional incandescent bulbs, which helps create a comfortable and relaxed feel, perfect for living spaces.

Question 5

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.

Question 6

I love the vintage look. Are Edison bulbs a good choice for general lighting?

Accepted Answer

Edison bulbs are fantastic for adding a warm, decorative touch to your home with their visible filament design and amber glow. Still, they're generally not the most efficient choice for primary lighting due to their lower lumen output. Consider using them in fixtures where the aesthetic is as important as the illumination.
